The anime stars Miku Ito as Yasumi Utatane/Yumiko Sato, while Moe Toyota plays Yuuhi Yugure/Chika Watanabe's role. Ikumi Hasegawa will voice Otome Sakuranamiki, while Nao Toyoma will feature as Yubisaki Mekuru. Miki-san also sings the opening theme song, Now on Air.

Hideki Tachibana is directing the anime at CONNECT Studios, with Keiichiro Ochi supervising the scripts. Shoko Takimoto, who has earlier worked in Chaos Dragon and other anime, is listed as the character designer.

Based on Ko Nigatsu's light novel, the anime centers on Yuuhi and Yasumi, who are both voice actors, attending the same high school. Interestingly, they also host a radio program together.

However, Yuuhi and Yasumi are polar opposites in reality. While Yasumi is Yumiko, the gyaru girl in real life, Yuuhi is Chika, the quiet idol. As such, the anime captures their friendship and also delves into their twin life.
