It has been announced that voice actors Shinnosuke Tachibana, Shuya Nishiji, and Takanori Hoshino will appear in the TV anime "Chuzenji-sensei Mononoke Kogiroku," which is based on a spin-off manga that depicts the prequel to Kyogoku Natsuhiko's popular novel "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Series." They will play familiar characters from the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Series," with Tachibana playing Enokizu Reijiro, a handsome young man with a trademark eyepatch over his left eye who has been Nakazenji Akihiko's best friend since their school days, Nishiji playing Sekiguchi Tatsumi, a slime mold researcher with extreme social phobia, and Hoshino playing Kiba Shuutaro, a childhood friend of Enokizu and a police officer working at a police box.
Tachibana commented, "I was really happy when I received the results of my audition and found out I'd be playing Enokizu Reijiro! And... I'm really looking forward to seeing how the fun and horror of the original work will be portrayed in the anime."
Nishiji said, "All the characters have strong personalities and are a lot of troublemakers, but as I listened to the cast members' acting during the recording, the troublemakers began to seem very cute and lovable. Everyone is charming. I'm looking forward to watching it air!"
Hoshino commented, "I'm Hoshino Takanori, and I'll be playing the role of Kiba! I think Kiba is a lovable character who is a reliable adult, a friendly friend, and who will empathize with the work and be surprised along with the viewers. I think he'll appear quite frequently! Please look forward to it!"
It was also announced that the TV anime will be broadcast on TV Tokyo, BS TV Tokyo, and AT-X starting in April.
The manga, illustrated by Aki Shimizu and written by Hanzō Tamura, began serialization in 2019 in Shonen Magazine Edge (Kodansha, currently out of print) and moved to the web manga service Comic Days (Kodansha) in 2023. It is a prequel to the series, depicting the time when Kyogokudō, otherwise known as Akihiko Nakazenji, from the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" series, was a high school teacher, and depicts female student Kana Kusakabe and Akihiko Nakazenji facing various incidents related to supernatural phenomena.
The anime will be directed by Chihiro Kumano and produced by 100studio. Kaori Maeda will play the protagonist, schoolgirl Kana Kusakabe, and Katsuyuki Konishi will play Akihiko Nakazenji.
