The anime is based on the light novels written by Ko Nigatsu and illustrated by Saba Mizorure. The series began publication in February 2020 by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko publishing imprint and currently has nine volumes in circulation. The series also announced today that volume 10 is slated to release on April 10 while volume 11 is scheduled in June this year. A manga adaptation by Umemi Makimoto was started in 2020 with three volumes in total.
Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote TV anime will follow the story of Yuuhi Yuugure and Yasumi Utatane, two high school voice actresses who happened to be in the same class. Both are hosts of a weekly radio program. As fellow classmates and voice actresses, they show all the listeners their great friendship! At least, on the surface. In reality, the quiet girl Chika and the gyaru Yumiko are complete opposites and they absolutely cannot stand each other. Off air, chaos and insults erupt. On air, they’re the best of friends. Just where will this tumultuous relationship lead them?
