Based on the manga by Gido Amagakure, the A Galaxy Next Door anime adaptation is being directed by Ryuichi Kimura (Aikatsu!), with Gigaemon Ichikawa (The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made) on series composition and Yasuka Otaki on character designs at Asahi Production. A new trailer just dropped for the series along with a key visual, officially lining it up for an April 2023 debut.
New cast additions include Rina Endo as Machi Kuga and Maria Naganawa as Fumio Kuga, joining the previously announced Taku Yashiro as Ichiro Kuga and Yu Wakui as Shiori Goshiki.
Among the additional staff members that were just revealed are prop designer Kumiko Shishido, art director Arisa Taira, color designer Masumi Ohtsuka, director of photography Ryo Kujirai, editor Yuki Honda and sound director Ryo Tanaka.
Kodansha USA publishes the original A Galaxy Next Door manga in English and describes it:
Ever since their father died, Ichirou Kuga has struggled to support his two younger siblings on nothing but a small inheritance and his passion for drawing manga. But it’s becoming harder to keep up with his growing responsibilities and deadlines, especially after his last two assistants quit to follow their dreams. Just as he’s nearing his breaking point, the beautiful and scarily competent Shiori Goshiki applies to become his new assistant. But there’s something almost otherworldly about Goshiki, and soon Kuga finds his reality turned upside down when she suddenly declares them engaged to marry!
