Natsuki Hanae as Mr. Seal
The character is very cute, and I was as excited as Mr. Shirokuma when I saw Mr. Seals pulling and squirming. It was heartwarming to read that the seal gradually opens his heart and the relationship between the two gets better and better. I will do my best to convey the cuteness of Mr. Seal! And I think Mr. Umehara's polar bear is a perfect fit for the role, so I hope the two of us will be able to work well together.

Yuichiro Umehara as Mr. Polar Bear
I was very surprised to be asked to play the role of Mr. Polar Bear.
I read the original story and was drawn in by the comical and heartwarming conversation between Mr. Polar Bear and Mr. Seal.
I hope I can reproduce the gentle atmosphere that flows in the work.
I will do my best to play the role, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Director: Ryokuya Ichikawa
After I got this job, I spent 20 to 30 minutes wandering around bookstores on my days off, observing what kind of customers would buy this manga. But I could not find any customers who bought the book while I was there.... But once you picked up a book, flipped through it, and smiled a little shyly at me. I decided to make it a work of art that would please you, so stay tuned.
