The upcoming anime adaptation of A Girl & Her Guard Dog has received a main trailer, which previews more of the lead characters’ relationship as well as the recently announced opening song “Suki ni Naccha Dame na Hito” by Masayoshi Ooishi.
A Girl & Her Guard Dog will premiere in Japan on September 28 (effectively September 29 at 12:30 AM JST). It is based on Hatsuharu‘s Kodansha-published manga series, which Kodansha US describes as:
Isaku never asked to be the daughter of a yakuza boss, but when her parents died in a car accident when she was 5, her gangster grandfather took her in and raised her as part of the clan. After years of being avoided by her schoolmates because of her family ties, Isaku is finally ready to make her high-school debut, live a normal life, and maybe even find love…until loyal family servant and Isaku’s dedicated guardian, 26-year-old Keiya, enters high school right alongside her and vows to protect her from all of the above! Now she’s got a chain-smoking, pistol-wielding knight-in-shining(?)-armor to deal with, and navigating high school besides? What’s a young lady to do?!
Yoshihiro Takamoto (VAZZROCK THE ANIMATION) is directing the TV anime at Project No.9 with Aya Satsuki (Ippon! Again) as series composer and Yukiko Ban (Yowamushi Pedal: Limit Break) as character designer. The cast includes Akari Kitou as Isaku Senagaki, Yuuichirou Umehara as Keiya Uto, Junya Enoki as Mikio Tanuki, and Mai Nakahara as Kaori Sekiya.
The manga began in 2018 and will release its ninth tankoubon volume on September 13 this year. It is serialized in Bessatsu Friend and published under the Kodansha Comics Bessatsu Friend label.
