Amamiya Sora, voice of Yotsuya Miko I had read the original work previously, so I was quite happy when I got a role in this anime that I wanted to be featured in. I can't believe that I was told "Please make it sound like a horror instead of Miko's voice" in the teaser PV... (Haha) However, this type of element is part of the mechanism of this work, so it would make me glad if you are able to enjoy this anime! Honda Kaede, voice of Yurikawa Hana I'm Honda Kaede, who is the voice of Yurikawa Hana! I had become a fan of the original work! I love the balance between the horror element and comedy element, so it gives a mysterious feeling of laughing despite being afraid. Hana does things on her own, she is air-headed and very energetic , so I would try my best to express the cheerful Hana during the interaction with Miko. Do look forward to it! Sakura Ayane, Niguredou Yuria I started reading the original work during the audition, but I am unable to stop reading it afterward. At the same time, it made me think, "I can't call myself as a manga lover since I missed out on this work that has a good sense..." I was surprised and happy when I got the role of Yuria, as I have many rivals for this role. So, I would try my best in this role together with the life experience that I had. I am looking forward to the animation as a fan, to see how it will depict the manga that is filled with the panel splitting, interactions, and the depiction of the "visible thing".
