Yuzu Sato is directing the series at Madhouse studios, with Ryunosuke Kingetsu overseeing the series scripts, Kei Tscuhiya designing the characters, and Takuro Iga composing the music. The series centers on the carefree Haru and the serious Gaku, two men plotting to earn a trillion dollars so they can afford anything they would ever want.

While Haru is very charismatic and persuasive as a public speaker, Gaku is awkward. However, he’s also a highly skilled programmer. The two first met as middle school classmates, but eventually reunite when Gaku applies to a bank company and is rejected. The television anime series adapts author Riichiro Inagaki and illustrator Ryoichi Ikegami’s original manga series of the same name.
