Finally, Ayaka Fukuhara is going to portray Rui Tasaki. Rui is a much more level-headed person compared to others and she is a member of the manga club along with Poemu. Her calm nature usually acts as a good balance to the more chaotic elements of the story.
Main Cast and Production Details
These new additions are joining the main leads, Junya Enoki who is voicing Tōgo Sakuradaimon and Riko Akechi who plays Poemu Kohinata. The core story is about a boy from the public morals committee who seems a bit inept and a girl who constantly defies everyone's expectations.

The chemistry between a "dumb prefect" and a "troublesome" girl is exactly why Ponkotsu Fūkiin to Skirt Take ga Futekisetsu na JK no Hanashi is the must read comedy manga of the season for so many people.
The staff working behind the scenes is also top-notch. Masahiro Yokotani is overseeing the series scripts, and Yō Himuro is handling both the chief animation direction and character designs. The music is being composed by a large team including Kanki Iwamoto and Yoshiaki Kitazume, so the audio should be great too.
The anime is being directed by Daiji Iwanaga at Zero-G studio and is scheduled to premiere this April on Tokyo MX and BS Asahi. The original manga has been running in Monthly Shonen Sirius since 2019, so there is plenty of material to adapt. Fans are really looking forward to seeing this quirky tale come alive soon.
