flumpool performed the opening theme song "Chiisana Hibi" (Small Days), and late musician Eiichi Ohtaki's Kimi wa Tennen Shoku (You Are Natural Color) was the ending theme song.
The comedy 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."
Kumeta (Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei) published a four-page introduction to the manga in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine in November 2015, and then published the first full chapter in the same magazine in December 2015. The manga ended on July 6. Kodansha Comics began digitally publishing the manga on March 17.
