G’s “Tate Anime” (Vertical Anime) smartphone app revealed the director and lead cast member for the upcoming anime of Masayuki Kusumi and Jiro Taniguchi’s Kodoku no Gourmet (The Solitary Gourmet) manga on Thursday.
Kodoku no Gourmet ran from 1994 to 1996 in Fusosha’s Monthly Panja magazine (now defunct).
Kazuchika Kise (Ghost in the Shell Arise) is directing the anime, while Kenyuu Horiuchi (Guin Saga’s Guin, Re:Zero’s Wilhelm van Astrea) plays the main character Gorō Inagashira.
The anime will premiere “soon,” and the app will stream an interview with Kise on Friday.
