The Wakaokami is an Elementary School Student! (original story by Hiroko Reijo, illustrated by Asami) is a popular series published by Kodansha Aoitori Bunko that has sold a total of 3 million copies. The story is about a sixth-grade girl, Okko (Oriko Seki), who loses her parents in an accident and ends up living at her grandmother's hot spring inn, "Harunoya," and struggles every day as a young wolf to entertain the unusual guests who keep coming, with the help of Uribo the Yurei and her rival, Mayuki. In March, a TV anime adaptation was decided, which began airing on April 8 (Sun.) on TV Tokyo's six network stations.

The first poster visual was created based on an image board drawn by director Kosaka. It depicts Okko in a kimono in front of her grandmother's onsen ryokan "Haru-no-ya" with a gentle and soft touch.

In the special trailer released at the same time, we see Okko interacting with the mysterious friends she meets at "Harunoya," which makes us want to cheer her up as she goes through the hardships of training to be a young wolf after her parents pass away.
