The returning cast includes:

Eguchi Takuya as Hikigaya Hachiman

Ouchi Keiichirou (Hinamatsuri, Gotoubun no Hayanome), a scriptwriter on the second season, is supervising the series scripts. Tanaka Yuichi (A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun) is also returning from the second season as character designer.
