On September 6, the first season debuted, starring: 

• Sora Amamiya as Ryoka Tsurumi

• Ryota Ohsaka as Shūhei Murosaka

• Mirei Kumagai as Ryoka's mother

• Yoshiyuki Shimozuma as Shūhei's father                                                                                                                                                                                                         The animation was directed by Hikaru Sato (The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, Dropkick on My Devil!) at Imageworks Studio and IMAGICA Infos, in association with nanogram. Kidlit wrote the music, Hiroki Nozaki and Airi Kobayashi handled the sound effects, while Yūichi Imaizumi (Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc, Moriarty's Perfect Crime) directed the audio. The person in charge of manufacturing was Kazuya Takahashi.

  Originally published in 2017 as a chat-style novel on his own manga and novel app Peep, Oishi is also the creator of the platform.

  The manga adaptation of the story was initially published by meshe on Futabasha's Web Comic Action website in July 2020. The first compiled book volume of the manga was published by Futabasha in December 2020, and it concluded with the release of its third volume in March 2022.
  

   The manga was released by Denpa concurrently with its Japanese debut, and the following is how it is described: 

  A barrage of text messages from her mother wakes Ryoka up! Mom is obviously worried for Ryoka's safety as she rushes and becomes agitated, but she is reluctant to tell her daughter why. And the reason for it is that there isn't really a word that could adequately explain what is going on! There's a chance that the world is ending! And their apartment building's roof may be home to an unknown creature!

  A "light anime" has a more straightforward animation style, which cuts expenses and production time. Animation ID has also produced "light anime" films such as Moriarty's Perfect Crime and Maarui Kanojo to Zannen na Kareshi.
