Kentaro Kumagai joining as Katsuya is a great pickup because he's been showing up in a lot of high-profile cast additions lately, and adding him as a classmate role brings extra personality to the school setting. Maejima Ami performing the ending theme "I'm Not Perfect" is also fitting since the title alone ties directly into Hinako's gap-moe character of being a "perfect lady" who's actually a lazy mess, making the song feel thematically locked in. Pre-release streaming on ABEMA, U-NEXT, and other platforms is a smart move too because getting the series out on multiple Japanese platforms the same day as TV broadcast keeps viewer access easy and broad. And multiple broadcasters across MBS, TV Tokyo, and BS Asahi shows strong network confidence because a three-network rollout signals real expectations for the series to land with a wide audience.

The second PV for the TV anime Rich Girl Caretaker: I'm Secretly the Caregiver of the Most Popular Girl in This Rich Kid School has been released, alongside an additional cast member announcement. The romantic comedy depicts the relationship between Hinako Konohana, who must play the role of "the perfect young lady," and Itsuki Tomonari, the poor high school boy appointed as her "caretaker." The second PV features Hinako's gap-moe appearance and the charm of Mirei and Narika, as well as the ending theme "I'm Not Perfect" by Maejima Ami, released for the first time.

Kumagai commented on the appeal of the work, saying, "I think it's wonderful to enjoy the work while identifying with Tomonari-kun, who is at the mercy of unique and charming heroines and those around him, and it's also great to get a bird's-eye view of their daily lives. Everyone is wonderful! Cute!"

About the Series

Rich Girl Caretaker is a romantic comedy following the developing relationship between a poor high school boy and the seemingly perfect young lady he must secretly care for, with the ending theme "I'm Not Perfect" performed by Maejima Ami.

The Story

A high school boy, Itsuki Tomonari, gets involved in a kidnapping and ends up taking care of Hinako Konohana, a young lady from one of Japan's largest conglomerates. On the surface, Hinako seems to be a brilliant and charming girl, but in reality, she is a lazy girl with no life skills. However, due to family reasons, Hinako has to play the role of the "perfect young lady" at school. Wanting to protect her, Itsuki takes care of her in a very caring manner. Eventually, Hinako begins to fawn on Itsuki, and a love story begins between the two that transcends the master-servant relationship.
