＜Below are the full comments＞
Komi Shousuke, voiced by Enoki Junya
■ Character’s Introduction
Komi-kun doesn’t need any communication.
He is the younger brother of Komi-san with one year gap, and he has quite a handsome appearance that is not inferior to Komi-san. He is able to handle everything without having any communication.

Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work.
Despite the story progresses without having the main protagonist, Komi-san to communicate much due to her being unsociable, but I feel the amusement of this work when it couples with the existence of Tadano-kun.
Q2. Please tell us your impression of your characters as well as your enthusiasm toward the role.
Shousuke is the younger brother of Komi-san, but him being quiet is a bit different than Komi-san, so I tried to voice him in a way that won’t make him seem to be unsociable.
Tadano Hitomi, voiced by Uchida Maaya
■ Character’s Introduction
Tadano Hitomi is not a normal person at all.
She has good manners, and she always greets Komi-san and others when they visited her house.
She has a strong mentality, extreme instinct and ability, and she can even perform ventriloquism, so she is not a normal person at all despite being Tadano-kun’s younger sister.

Q1. Please tell us your impression of this work.
I am able to feel the sense of security from the human relationship that progressed slowly around Komi-san.
Among the various interesting moment with the comedy situations, I enjoyed the “heart soothing moments” of Komi-san the most.
Q2. Please tell us your impression of your characters as well as your enthusiasm toward the role.
My impression as of now where the recording is finished is that I feel that Tadano Hitomi is like a modern girl due to her harsh attitude toward her older brother. Haha
