It has been announced that the anime series "Isekai no Sata wa Shachiku Dada" (It's Up to the Company Slave), based on the comic adaptation of Hachigatsu Hachi's novel on the theme of "other world BL," will be broadcast as a TV anime starting in January 2026. The series' theme is "other world x work x BL," and follows Kondo Seiichiro, a salaryman in his late twenties who gets caught up in the summoning of a saint, and ends up working in the accounting department of the Romani Kingdom, another world where he is transported, where he meets the ice prince, Alesh Indrak, commander of the knights... The main cast has also been announced, with Ito Kento as Kondo Seiichiro, Maeno Tomoaki as Alesh Indrak, Seiichiro Yamashita as Norbert, and Tochi Hiroki as Kamil.
Ito commented, "It's been a few years since I recorded the promotional video for the comic with Maeno-san... Since then, I've heard a lot of people say things like, 'It's interesting!' and 'I wonder if it'll be made into an anime!' So I was very happy to hear that the anime will be starting with the same cast. Seiichiro is what they call a corporate slave. But he is a corporate slave, but a positive (?) corporate slave. He loves working, and it has become ingrained in his life, so much so that he ends up pushing himself too hard without even realizing it. I think many people will be able to sympathize with him as an entry point. I hope everyone will watch over the story of his mysterious experiences and strange yet irreplaceable encounters."
Maeno said, "I'm very happy that we'll be doing the voice acting again, just like in the PV for the comics. I clearly remember getting excited with the staff when we were recording the first PV for the comics a few years ago and saying, 'I'd love to see it in the anime too!' The tempo of the dialogue between Ito-kun and me in the PV for the comics was also very pleasant, and I'll do my best in the dubbing so that both fans of the original work and those seeing it for the first time will be satisfied. I hope you will all enjoy it."
Yamashita said, "The 'reincarnation in another world' style of work is now mainstream, but I felt that this work brought a breath of fresh air into the story. I'm happy that I feel a connection to the main character's name (laughs), and I'll do my best to fully support him in the role I play!"
Tochi commented, "Hello, I'm Tochi Hiroki, and I play Kamil. My name is Tochi Hiroki, and my name means East and I mean Earth. It's an isekai BL story, and I haven't done much BL work, but I'll do my best. Please look forward to it!"
Hachigatsuhachi said, "'What Happens in Another World Depends on the Corporate Slave' is being made into an anime. It's a surprise that it's being made into an anime, but it's all thanks to everyone who supported us. Thank you. It's a strange feeling to see the story I wrote become a manga and then an anime. I'd like to thank everyone involved. Seiichiro, a corporate slave who can't stop working even when he goes to another world, is treated like a weirdo in that world as well, and Alesh gets caught up in this and goes from being a cool character to a mother. I'm looking forward to seeing all of these fun friends in action together with everyone."
It was also announced that an event for the series will be held at Animate Girls Festival 2025 (AGF2025) to be held in November. Ito and Maeno will be appearing at the event. They will also be hosting a web radio show called "Salon de Iseshachi."
The story is about Kondo Seiichiro, an efficiency-obsessed corporate slave who gets caught up in the summoning of a saint and is transported to another world, where he continues to work hard as usual and ends up winning the heart of the commander of the knights... The original character designs are by Ohashi Kikka, and the comic adaptation is by Sai Kazuki.
