Tomoaki Maeno is attached to two announced television anime roles and appeared in a September 4 reunion photo with the rest of the QUARTET NIGHT cast. The reason for that gathering is unconfirmed.
Tomoaki Maeno's recent coverage splits between two confirmed anime castings and one unconfirmed cast event. In August, King Amusement Creative announced that Maeno will voice Eiji Kirisame, a forty-year-old detective, in the television anime adaptation of A Pen, Handcuffs, and a Common-Law Marriage, set to premiere in January 2027. Takaaki Ishiyama directs at EMT Squared, with Inori Minase voicing Tsugumi Kuchinashi. The same announcement named Shigeru Murakoshi on series scripts, Miyuki Nakamura on character design, Hiroto Morishita as sound director, and Kana Hashiguchi composing. The manga, written by Shinichi Sawaragi and illustrated by Tank Gasuyama, began serialization in Hakusensha's Young Animal in December 2022 and has 400,000 copies in circulation. Yen Press licensed the manga in English.
The earlier June story places Maeno among the new returning cast for the second season of With Vengeance, Sincerely, Your Broken Saintess, which premieres October 1 on TV Kanagawa. Minami Tsuda and Reiō Tsuchida are also named as returning cast. Saya Fukase directs at IMAGICA Infos/Imageworks Studio, replacing first season director Chisaki. The season 2 date extends the quick turnaround from the first season's July 2025 run.
Coverage then turned to the QUARTET NIGHT cast. On September 4, Shouta Aoi, Shoutarou Morikubo, Tatsuya Suzuki, and Maeno posted a photo together on X. The four are shown in costumes from the June 2026 live event QUARTET NIGHT LIVE ENDLESS JEWELS, with a bracelet from the event merchandise visible. The reason for the gathering is unconfirmed. Fans are speculating about a new project or bonus footage, but the cast has not said what the photo was for.
