TV Anime 'Ichijoma Mankitsu Gurashi!'

Cast Information Revealed!

◆ Meiko Morita (CV. Kana Hishikawa)

<Character Introduction>

A second-year high school student from Akita.

To send money home, she transfers to Amamiya Girls' Academy in Tokyo and begins working and living at Hedgehog, a manga cafe and student dormitory.

The eldest of five siblings, she is serious and caring, like an older sister. Because of this, she tends to get caught up in the affairs of those around her.

She is good at cooking but weak with machines, and occasionally her dialect slips out. She has a vivid imagination.

<Cast Comment>

It's finally started! The anime 'Ichijoma Mankitsu Gurashi!'

I'm Kana Hishikawa, playing the role of Meiko Morita!!

I had fun recording while struggling with my first Akita dialect! ♡

Before each recording session, I always chanted 'My heart belongs to Kirara...' and approached it, so please viewers, also make your hearts belong to Kirara and enjoy...!

See you next week at the manga cafe Hedgehog!

◆ Rie Amamiya (CV. Saho Shirasuna)

<Character Introduction>

A second-year high school student who works and lives at Hedgehog.

She is the only daughter of the director of Amamiya Girls' Academy, and serves as the manager and dorm supervisor of Hedgehog.

She is very wealthy, generous, and has a strange sense of money.

She is a manga enthusiast and collects a large number of manga, especially yuri manga.

She misunderstands Meiko as 'Meiko Morita', a new manga artist.

<Cast Comment>

I'm Saho Shirasuna, playing the role of Rie Amamiya.

Playing Rie, who has constantly changing expressions and moods, is always energetic, cheerful, kind... and sometimes a bit reckless and excitable, has been a lot of fun every week.

I've poured my heart into portraying Rie's overflowing charm with care...!

The voice recording sessions were filled with ad-libs, so it was hard to hold back laughter...!

I hope you enjoy the anime broadcast. Please watch!

◆ Marika Suzuki (CV. Chiharu)

<Character Introduction>

A second-year high school student who works and lives at Hedgehog.

She is sloppy and lazy. She is sensitive to both heat and cold, wears thick clothes year-round, and loves her kotatsu, but often wears only underwear underneath.

She is active as a popular video streamer under the name Marika Beltree.

Her family runs a prestigious Ikebana (flower arrangement) school, and it is said to be very strict.

<Cast Comment>

I'm Chiharu, playing the role of Marika Suzuki. I'm very happy to be a part of the manga cafe Hedgehog!

Marika is straightforward about her 'likes'. She's honest above all else. That's why she's lazy... always munching on snacks... she's a cute and lovable girl!

Her charm lies in her changing expressions as she jokes, retorts, and lazes around.

When everyone at Hedgehog gets together, it's just cute! Fun! Hilarious! I'll do my best to play her so that everyone can enjoy it. Thank you!

◆ Neo Nakano (CV. Kyori Nemoto)

<Character Introduction>

A second-year high school student who works and lives at Hedgehog.

She is usually innocent, but when she gets passionate, dark remarks tend to surface.

She is aiming to become a professional gamer and dedicates her days and nights to gaming. She is knowledgeable about information technology and is in charge of the shop's computers.

She is bothered by being treated like a child because of her small stature. She is actually strong.

<Cast Comment>

I'm Kyori Nemoto, playing the role of Neo Nakano.

I thought Neo was incredibly cute from the first time I saw her...

I had anxieties about whether I could play such a cute character, but I was also full of desire to take on the challenge, so I was very happy when I was chosen.

However, Neo's appeal isn't just her cuteness!

Whether you know the original work or are discovering it through the anime, please look forward to it.

I will do my very best!!

◆ Michika Narumi (CV. Momoka Terasawa)

◆ Magical Momorin Goda (CV. Kaori Maeda)
