Get ready for a close encounter of the spooky kind, because the main staff, the main cast, and the Japanese TV schedule have been revealed for Youkai Apart no Yuuga na Nichijou ("Gracious Daily Life at the Youkai Apartment"), an upcoming TV anime based on the series of supernatural comedy light novels written by Hinowa Kouzuki about a young man who takes up residence in a boarding house populated by denizens of the spirit world.

 

The main cast of Youkai Apart no Yuuga na Nichijou includes:

 

 

 

Atsushi Abe as Yuushi Inaba, a first year high school student who lives in a haunted boarding house.

 

 

Yuichi Nakamura as Mizuki Hase, Yuushi's best friend.

 

 

Akira Ishida as Reimei Isshiki, a poet and a writer of children's stories.

 

 

 

Miyuki Sawashiro as Akine Kuga, a 2nd year high school student and an expert exorcist whose slim figure belies her humongous appetite.

 

 

 

And Kazuya Nakai as Akira Fukase, a painter who is 48 years old despite his youthful appearance. Akira's foul temper causes him to be mistaken for a youkai on occasion.

 

 

The main staff of Youkai Apart no Yuuga na Nichijou includes:

 

  • Director: Mitsuo Hashimoto
  • Series composition: Yasunori Yamada
  • Character design: Tomomi Shimazaki

The original Youkai Apart no Yuuga na Nichijou light novels are published by Kodansha, and a manga adaptation with artwork by Waka Miyama is also serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Sirius manga magazine. The series follows Yuushi Inaba, a young man who is taken in by his relatives after his parents die. When Yuushi is old enough to attend high school, he decides to move into a boarding house so as not to be a burden on his family, but the boarding house he moves into is co-ed...that is, its residents include both human beings and denizens of the spirit world!

 

 

Youkai Apart no Yuuga na Nichijou will broadcast in Japan according to the following schedule:

 

  • Tokyo MX: every Monday during the 23:00 time slot beginning on July 03, 2017.
  • Yomiuri TV: every Monday during the 25:59 time slot beginning on July 03, 2017.
  • BS11: every Tuesday during the 25:30 time slot beginning on July 04, 2017.

 

Please note that some Japanese TV schedules count early-morning programming as late-night programming of the previous day, so for example the 25:30 time slot on Tuesday evening is actually at 1:30 AM JST on Wednesday morning.
