The Comic Buster bookstore in Hodogaya, Yokohama posted a picture on Twitter on Thursday that shows the 10th compiled book volume of Kōji Kumeta's Kakushigoto manga and reveals that the series is getting a televsion anime adaptation in 2020. The January 2020 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine will reveal more information about the adaptation on December 6. The manga's 10th volume will ship on Friday.
The comedy manga story centers on Kakushi Gotō, who doesn't want his daughter, Hime Gotō, to know that he is a manga creator. The manga's comedy focuses on the daily life of a family with a manga artist. In addition to being a word play on the father's name, the ambiguous title can mean "Hidden Things," but can also be read as "Drawing Job."
The manga received a promotional video animated by SHAFT in June 2016. SHAFT previously worked on three television anime adaptations and two original video anime (OVA) projects of Kumeta's Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei manga, and an OVA adaptation of his Katteni Kaizō manga. Akiyuki Simbo, who directed all the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei adaptations, and was chief director on the Katteni Kaizō OVA, drew the storyboards for the video. Yukihiro Miyamoto, who worked alongside Simbo in the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei anime, directed the video.

I feel like Kakushigoto is severely underrated (at least in the overseas manga scene), so hopefully the anime gets it some well-deserved attention!
