Production company Aniplex opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Dan Ichikawa's Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen (My New Boss Is Goofy) manga on Tuesday. The website revealed the main cast, staff, teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser promotional video.

Cast
Shirosaki: Yuuichirou Umehara (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean)
Momose: Koutarou Nishiyama (Kotarou wa Hitorigurashi)
Mitsuo Aoyama: Tomokazu Sugita (Uramichi Oniisan)
Aigo Kinjou: Jun Fukuyama (Osomatsu-san)
Hakuto: Hiro Shimono (Hataraku Maou-sama!)

Staff
Director: Noriyuki Abe (Bleach, Arslan Senki (TV))
Series Composition: Masahiro Yokotani (Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu)
Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Takahiro Yasuda (Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi)
Music: Masato Nakayama (Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai, Cool Doji Danshi)
Sound Director: Jin Aketagawa (Horimiya, Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai)
Studio: A-1 Pictures

Ichikawa initially drew the slice of life comedy manga as a web comic on their Twitter account in May 2018 and then began serialization on the Manga Cross website starting February 2019. Akita Shoten shipped the second volume in May 2020.

Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen placed 13th in the Female Readers' Top 20 of 2020's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! ranking.

Synopsis
Momose, a 26-year-old office worker, recently changed jobs after being harassed by his former boss. He is concerned that his new boss will also use power harassment to make his life miserable. Momose tries to hide his concern about facing a similar situation with his new boss, Shirasaki. To Momose's surprise, however, Shirasaki's inherent airheadedness immediately alleviates all of his concerns, giving him a sense of relief.

I don't know if it will be BL or not, but is it the first such anime at all? We've gotten a couple of shonen-ish adult anime at work in the past, but up until this point, the trend towards queer or queerbaiting workplace manga has been almost ignored in anime.

By the way, there's change to casts (from Drama CD / PV to TV) that I saw from Japanese Wiki:
Shirosaki
: Takahiro Sakurai → Koutarou Nishiyama
Kinjou: Tatsuhisa Suzuki → Jun Fukuyama

Interview to Drama CD w. original casts: https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1587092585


Edit: Based on vol.2 PV that I watched, I don't think it's BL. There's an anime title that perfectly describes the series I saw from the comment of Facebook page, which is Cool Doji Danshi.

Yes, you are right. From the many BL works which take place at work, this is the first to be adapted and even into normal TV series. I am really surprised. Still there are many other interesting and decent works on such theme, involving yakuza, for example. But good that they at least will adapt this manga. Maybe later my wishes come true and we see adaptations from Yuu Minazuki or Yuitsu, for example.

Sadly for Sakurai, yes, he left the talent agency. I hope that he will recover from all that happened to him soon!

I think that Momose, the brown-haired, assaults Shirosaki, blond-haired, judging from the BL works that I read and overall statistics of authors of such works.

Yes, I will also watch it. Let's ignore them and enjoy the series instead!

It is not a gay anime, there will only be hints to that, nothing more.

And I hope that Nier will resume airing soon.

For y'all getting an aneurysm over this, no it's not BL. If it was it would've been tagged as such right at the start next to the other genres.

It was a dumb rhetorical question, no one assaults anyone in this work.

It is not a BL work, but there are hints to it as in any work targeted to women.

Yes, I know it, thanks, I also replied in a funny manner.

By hints do you mean explicit hints or just teasing the audience without a "real" result?

I ask because the Western word "hint" suggests something tangible, but people overuse it so much that even the most superficial ship bait would be called a hint.

Yes, simply light hints, nothing more. If one wants full themed BL works, then they have to read BL works with shonen-ai and yaoi genres in them.

Well, I won't be surprised if many in the target audience already consider these guys if not married to each other, then at least a full-fledged couple, lol.
