Asteroid in Love

Aired: 2020

A TV anime produced by Ajia-Do, based on the manga by Koji Kumeta serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine (12 volumes). Manga artist Kakushi Goto hides from his 4th-grade daughter Hime that he draws slightly risqué manga. As the title plays on the double meaning of "kakushigoto" (hidden thing/drawing work), the series alternates between warm father-daughter comedy in the present and serious flash-forwards where 18-year-old Hime confronts her father's secrets. 12 episodes. Directed by Yuta Murano, music by Yukari Hashimoto. Main cast: Hiroshi Kamiya as Kakushi, Rie Takahashi as Hime. Rich with the parodies and meta-humor characteristic of Kumeta's works. ©Koji Kumeta, Kodansha/Kakushigoto Production Committee
