NEW KEY VISUAL:
NEWLY ANNOUNCED CAST:
Junichi Suwabe as Momiji
Junichi Suwabe as Momiji, a handsome and top-notch doctor who specializes in treating "mystery diseases." He's a master of Ramune. One of his hobbies is to torment people and he's especially strict with Ramune. Because he has no sense of direction, he always has "Pipopo" accompanied by him, a mystery pet that he created to guide him in the right direction.
MAIN CAST:
Yūma Uchida as Ramune
Ramune is a doctor who specializes in treating patients with "mystery diseases," which are caused when something "strange" sneaks into the hearts of the weak-minded. He is a foul-mouthed physician who is rude to most and very rarely understands the atmosphere around him. Though, he is a very skilled doctor who can quickly identify the root cause of any strange illness. But because he always puts his patients first, he tries not to treat them too harshly.
Takuma Nagatsuka as Kuro
Kuro is a junior high school student who works as Ramune's assistant. He has good judgment and motor skills as well as a rational mind. It’s hard to understand his mood due to having a poker face and is always having to play the straight man when Ramune says or does anything. Kuro trusts Ramune's skills as a specialist of mystery diseases completely. He has a rational mind and strong judgment.
Additional cast includes:
Kana Ueda as Ayame
Nobuhiko Okamoto as Nico
Yūma Uchida, the voice of Ramune, is performing the opening theme song titled, "SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE!"
Crunchyroll has translated a comment from Yūma Uchida:
"In the world of Dr. Ramune, there is an ailment called a 'mysterious disease' which is caused by the mind. The theme of this work is how to release those things that are stored in the mind, such as hesitation and worries, and help them make better choices.
The song 'SHAKE!SHAKE!SHAKE!' was composed to capture the feelings of characters who are suffering from these mysterious diseases and to guide them through being cured.
In the story, there are moments when the characters have to face their own hearts and minds, but when they face up to reality and look forward to it, the world is brighter, and it's a step towards a new you, that's the emotion I put into singing this song. I'm glad if you enjoyed listening to the song after watching Dr. Ramune -Mysterious Disease Specialist-."

Crunchyroll will stream the series and describes it as:
As long as hearts exist inside people, there will always be those who suffer.
And then something "strange" enters their mind and causes a strange disease to manifest itself in the body.
The illness, which is called a "mystery disease" is unknown to most, but certainly exists.
There is a doctor and apprentice who fights the disease, which modern medicine cannot cure.
His name is Ramune.
He acts freely all the time, is foul-mouthed, and doesn’t even look like a doctor!
However, once he is confronted with the mysterious disease, he is able to quickly uncover the root cause of his patients' deep-seated distress and cure them.
And beyond that...
