Production company Aniplex opened an official website for an anime movie adaptation of Tsuchika Nishimura's Hokkyoku Hyakkaten no Concierge-san (The Concierge at Arctic Department Store) manga on Tuesday. The website also revealed the main staff and a teaser visual (pictured). The movie is scheduled to open in theaters in Fall 2023.

Staff
Director: Yoshimi Itazu (Ballroom e Youkoso)
Script: Satomi Ooshima (Koukyuu no Karasu)
Studio: Production I.G
Distribution: Aniplex

Nishimura began serializing the fantasy manga in Big Comic Zoukan in February 2017. Shogakukan shipped the second volume in October 2020.

Hokkyoku Hyakkaten no Concierge-san won the Excellence Award at the 25th Japan Media Art Festival in the Manga Division in 2022.

Synopsis
Akino works in the most exclusive department store in the city as a concierge: his job is to take care of customers and understand their needs. But there is a peculiarity: the customers are all... animals! Many of them are also Very Important Animals; they are extinct or almost extinct! (Source: Baka-Updates)

Is this woman the only full-fledged character here? Or even the only person?
