A live-action drama adaptation of Saisou’s kawaii office romance manga My Tiny Senpai is on the horizon. The official website announced the premiere date for the My Tiny Senpai live-action as January 15, 2025, via BS Shochiku Tokyu’s Suiyo Drama 23 (the channel’s original drama block). Currently, only the actress who will play the show’s main heroine, has been revealed.
TOOMI of the idol group #2i2 will play Shiori Katase. The idol and former competitive skier has been the lead vocalist of her idol ensemble since 2020. Her acting experience is limited to limited appearances in Mashin Sentai Kiramager Spin-Off: Yodonna THE FINAL and Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.
What’s My Tiny Senpai About?
My Tiny Senpai (Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanash) focuses on Takuma Shinozaki, an office worker often coddled and doted on by his senior team member, Shiori Katase. While she may be short, her kindheartedness and love far exceed her size. As Shiori tries her best to be the supportive senpai that Takuma needs, her kindness quickly becomes another kind of affection.
The manga has been serialized in Takeshobo’s Storia Dash since 2020 and currently counts nine tankobon volumes. Saisou has been releasing a canonical spin-off doujin, Ii Fuufu no Hanashi, on Twitter (now X) since November 2019. The manga also includes an alternate web version doujin that has been available since September 2019. A TV anime adaptation aired as part of the summer 2023 anime season and is available globally via Crunchyroll. Project No. 9 animated the twelve-episode series, which had Mitsutoshi Satou as its director. Mr. Mitsutoshi also handled the show’s series composition. Yayoi Tateishi was in charge of the show’s sound direction, and Youhei Fukui handled the show’s storyboard.
The anime’s voice cast includes:
- Hina Tachibana as Shiori Katase
- Yuuki Shin as Takuma Shinozaki
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Chihiro Akina
- Yumiri Hanamori as Chinatsu Hayakawa
