Imagine
traveling to Tokyo to become the most powerful assassin in the world and
discovering that your new training place looks like a coffee shop straight out
of a cute girl anime. That will be the peculiar experience of the protagonist
of Harajuku Himegoto House, a new original comedy that will have an
anime for television. The Plott company officially presented the project
with a first trailer, a promotional image and a voice cast that includes
several well-known names among fans.
The story
follows Mizuki Otokozawa, a 19-year-old boy who dreams of becoming the
strongest assassin in the world. Convinced that he needs to learn from the
best, he decides to travel to the famous neighborhood of Harajuku to find a
hideout where some of Japan's most legendary hitmen supposedly gather.
However,
when he finally arrives at the place, he discovers that the hideout is
actually a completely pink coffee shop, staffed by a group of characters
who seem to have any profession but that of assassins. Among them is a gyaru
who considers practically anything adorable, a young man dressed in a gothic
lolita and, for some reason, even a centaur.
Of course,
Mizuki doesn't understand anything at all. He expected to find intimidating
men, dangerous weapons, and an environment where no one could trust anyone.
Instead, he ended up surrounded by people obsessed with cute things. Although,
apparently, appearances can be deceiving, and all of them have quite
dangerous abilities.
Harajuku
Himegoto House will bring together seven rather peculiar assassins

also confirmed the seven members of its main cast, including Nobuhiko
Okamoto, known for playing Katsuki Bakugo in My Hero Academia, and
