Gone are the days when humans used to get tricked by illusions, and Mameda, a shape-shifting raccoon, regrets it very much.
In the upcoming anime, My Master Has No Tail, Mameda will learn that there’s another way to mesmerize humans without using trickery at all.
This manga by TNSK is a hidden gem where Mameda learns the art of storytelling and how to hide her own supernatural powers. As its anime adaptation has been greenlit for this year, I guess we can dive into this series.
The My Master Has No Tail anime will be released in 2022. A specific date has not been announced yet, but it will be confirmed soon.
A new visual was revealed for the anime as well:

Mameda and Bunko are illustrated in gorgeous traditional Japanese outfits in the visual.
The visual also highlights their personalities. While Mameda is a young and energetic tanuki-girl, Bunko is a composed and mature woman who is in control of her powers.
A cute little video was also released during the animation’s first announcement last year, and it is right here for you to enjoy.
