Laying out their plans for the upcoming Winter 2025 Anime Season, streaming platform HIDIVE has announced that the new rom-com anime I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? (ニートくノ一となぜか同棲はじめました) will be joining their line-up. Based on the manga by Yakitomato and Kotatsu, the series will stream exclusively on HIDIVE.
The story follows Tsukasa Atsumi, an ordinary businessman who finds himself under the protection of Shizuri Ideura, a genius kunoichi tasked with defending him from demons. Despite her exceptional combat abilities, Shizuri is an otaku NEET who spends her time gaming and enjoying a lazy cohabitation with Tsukasa. As more quirky kunoichi gather, the romantic comedy about living with an unconventional shinobi unfolds.
The anime adaptation, directed by Hisashi Saito and written by Takashi Aoshima, features character designs by Masahiko Suzuki and is produced by Quad. The cast includes Hinaki Yano as Shizuri Ideura, Shoya Ishige as Tsukasa Atsumi, and Shigeru Chiba as the narrator. The original manga is published in print by KADOKAWA and in e-book form by No. 9.
John Ledford, President of HIDIVE, expressed excitement about the addition to the lineup, saying:
We’re excited to add I’m Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? to our slate of exclusive new series for HIDIVE’s Winter 2025 simulcast season. Demons + Salaryman + Shinobi + Otaku + NEET is truly the perfect formula for a humous rom-com and one that fans will not want to miss!
