The original novel is a popular work that has sold over 750,000 copies in total.

Shuichiro Umeda plays Kobato Tsunegoro , who has excellent reasoning ability called ``wisdom work'' but longs for a normal life that could be called a small citizen. Hina Hitsujimiya will play Yuki Kosanai , who aims to be a small-time citizen just like her. The director is Mamoru Kobe , the series composition is Toshiya Ohno , the character design is Atsushi Saito, and the music is Takahiro Obata . Comments from the cast, original author, and staff are below.

・Shuichiro Umeda as Tsunegoro Kobato
nice to meet you! My name is Shuichiro Umeda!
I will play Tsunegoro Kobato.

I started reading the original novel after the audition, and I enjoyed reading it quickly as I was carried away by Kobato's light and airy storytelling that is full of her personality.
I wonder how the relationship with Kosanai-san and the atmosphere will be portrayed in the anime...! I'm really looking forward to it.
Of course, I also want to hear Kobato's decisive line!
I will do my best to play the role so that both those who have read the original work and those who are introduced to the ``Little Citizen Series'' through the anime will enjoy it. Someday, I'll grab the star of a small citizen.
Thank you very much

・The role of Yuki Kosanai・Hina Hitsujimiya
Kosanai-san is a girl with so much deep charm that the more I read the original story, the more I started to worry about how to play her.
I hope you will be able to appreciate each and every move that is expressed in the writing, which is unique to a novel, and I would also like you to see a side of Mr. Kosanai that you didn't know yet during the dubbing.
I'm excited to see what kind of scenery will unfold in the anime from the world described in the novel.
We hope that everyone will be looking forward to it.

・Original author: Honobu Yonezawa
I never thought that the day would come when I would see Kobato, Kosanai, and the others moving and talking. I'm glad that their story, which gradually emerges from the ``mysteries of everyday life,'' has now been given a different form. The pictures, voices, music, and all the elements of the animation work are sure to add new charm to this series. I'm looking forward to that moment myself.

・Director: Mamoru Kobe
This novel has some unusual characters.
Kobato-kun and Kosanai-san aim to become small citizens.
I think the word 'small citizen' is rather derogatory, but I aim to become a small citizen so that I can live a peaceful life without attracting attention.
Also, the two have a mutually beneficial relationship, and they have a strange relationship that is neither friends nor lovers.
Those two people are interesting.

・Toshiya Ohno (series composition)
I'm happy to have found such a wonderful original work. It's a work with a sweet atmosphere, with lots of sweets, but the content is quite bitter. It is said that the biggest mystery lies in the human heart, and in this case it may be in Mr. Osanai's heart.
I believe that I was able to work on a meaningful script because I was blessed with a team that I could trust, including director Kobe.

・Atsushi Saito (character design)

・Takahiro Obata (music)
I feel honored to be in charge of the music for the TV anime ``Little Citizen Series.''
Once I was assigned the role, I read the original work, and it was so interesting that I became a fan of the ``Little Citizen Series,'' and I'm also really looking forward to the release of the anime!
As for the songs, we have incorporated ethnic elements and have made various efforts, so we hope you will enjoy the music as well.

I did it. As expected from Kagawa Prefecture, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, we were gently told that we couldn't eat udon even though we only received udon.After reflecting, we sent personnel and equipment to a water supply station to cook udon on the spot, and this time we even brought water to areas where water was cut off.

For several years now, I have been worried about my body temperature being in the 35°C range. I wonder what the cause is...I wonder if I can't reach 36 degrees Celsius anymore like I did when I was in high school...I was doing a lot of physical activity back then... Every day I think about the thermometer I've been using since I was a baby...

Being a working doctor was a job where you couldn't choose your customers.
Monster complaints came regularly.
When I became a general practitioner, at first I was troubled by complaints because I was treating everyone.
At one point, they narrowed their advertising to women in their 20s and 30s, made their website more targeted toward women, and made their reservation system a little more difficult.
The number of complaints has decreased dramatically.

When there was a big earthquake in Fukushima a few years ago, the roadside station in Kunimi-cho didn't discount the products that had fallen, but instead sold them at the regular price, with the aim of being ``proof against earthquakes'' and ``not cutting prices.'' That was very well received.
