Hanae's love for his cat is well-known. He frequently posts photos of Konpei on his Twitter account and has the words "Cat bot" in his bio. (As he amusingly recounted, this once got him blocked by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's official anime Twitter account.)
The television anime of Asami Koseki's Love All Play badminton novel will premiere on April 2.
The main cast includes:
- Natsuki Hanae as Ryō Mizushima
- Yōhei Azakami as Shōhei Sakaki
