My Deer Friend Nokotan, the manga by Oshioshio about a student with antlers, is getting the anime treatment. The anime series, produced by Wit Studio, is set to hit screens this July.

The series will star:

Megumi Han as Noko Shikanoko (Nokotan)

Saki Fujita as Torako Koshi (Koshitan)

Rui Tanabe as Anko Koshi

Fūka Izumi as Meme Bashame

Kōsuke Toriumi as narrator

My Deer Friend Nokotan will be directed by Masahiko Ōta with scripts from Takashi Aoshima and music by Yasuhiro Misawa, all of whom worked on series like Gabriel DropOut and Yuruyuri.

Here’s how Seven Seas describes the manga, which kicked off in 2019:

No one knows Torako used to be a delinquent. All of her classmates only know her as the perfect student. But everything changes when Nokotan, a transfer student with antlers, enters her life. Antlers aren’t the only thing strange about Nokotan. Her deer nose can sniff out Torako’s secret past! Whether it’s at school or the zoo, chaos follows this doe-eyed girl’s every step. Torako has so many questions! Is Nokotan a deer, a girl, or something in-between?
