Junichi Yamamoto is set to direct the anime at Arvo Animation. Hayashi Mori is in charge of series composition and scripts while Masakatsu Sasaki designs the characters. A brand new key visual featuring Meguru Chojo and Nao Ippongi has also been released.

Moreover, a celebratory key illustration by the mangaka Shun Numa has also been posted on the anime’s X (formerly Twitter) account. Viz Media publishes the English translated version of the manga and describes the story as:

On her first day at the West Chinjuku Police Station, Ippongi realizes she got the short end of the stick: Her new partner, Chojo, uses his psychic powers to do everything except work. But after some yakuza threaten to take over Ippongi’s family’s dojo, Chojo begins to take his job more seriously, and the pair embark on a comedic whirlwind solving crimes, catching bad guys, and blundering their way through life as police officers.
