It has been revealed that Kazuyuki Tanaka's ``Junket Bank'' will be made into a TV anime and will begin broadcasting in October. At the same time, cast information, staff, and teaser visuals were released.
"Junket Bank" is a gambling battle manga set in a bank, "the place where the most money-minded people in the country gather." Akira Mitarai, a new bank employee, is suddenly ordered to transfer to an unfamiliar department, the Special Operations Department. Guided by his new boss, he steps into a gambling hall run by a bank. There, Mitarai meets Shin Mafutsu, a gambler with an overwhelmingly unique personality, and is charmed by his way of life. He abandons his boring routine of repeating routine work and life and dives into the world of gambling, where he risks his life. The work is being serialized in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha), and the latest volume 21 will be released on March 18th.
The role of Makitsu is played by Soma Saito, and the role of Mitarai is played by Rikuya Yasuda. The film will be directed by Seiji Kishi, series composition by Makoto Fukami, character design by Masaru Kei, music by Taku Iwasaki, and animation produced by CUE.
The teaser visual depicts Makitsu resting his chin on a casino table with a faint smile on his face. Along with these announcements, comments have arrived from the original author Tanaka and two cast members.
