It has been announced that the TV anime series "Invisible Man and Human Woman: The Two Who Will Become Husband and Wife," based on Iwatobi Neko's romantic comedy manga, will begin airing in January 2026. Riho Sugiyama will play Urashiko Luna, a beast-woman investigator at the Transparent Eye Detective Agency with a big sister-like personality, while Masaya Fukunishi will play Onikira Daichi, a human man who appears gruff but is actually a diligent person. It has also been announced that Abe Mao will perform the opening theme song and Ishihara Kaori will perform the ending theme song.
Sugiyama commented, "I had originally read the original work, so I am really happy to be able to play Sharakuko! Sharakuko is an honest, strong-willed, and cool woman, but as you get to know her, you can see that she has a slightly absent-minded side and a girlish side that has many aspirations. I personally have a lot in common with Sharakuko, so I was able to let myself be myself when I played her. I would be happy if I could expand on this work, which is full of wonderful personalities, through the anime, so I hope you will all enjoy the broadcast! Thank you very much!"
Fukunishi said, "In the world of this work, everyone enjoys their own lives, cares for each other, and enjoys each day as they are. Onigira, who lives there, is a little clumsy but an extremely loving person. Those around him also treat him with love. I love Onigira! As someone who loves him, I am proud to have been given the role of providing his voice. Please look forward to the anime 'The Invisible Man and the Human Woman,' which is filled with love from the original author, Iwatobi Neko-sensei, and all the staff! BIG LOVE."
