--What is your first impression of "Mahoujin Guruguru"?

Shizuka Ishigami as Nike
A royal adventure fantasy about cute boys and girls! I thought it would be ......, but it's just a bunch of old guys! Gag explosion! Oh, but I'm curious about the love story! A work like "Kodomo Kodomo Lunch" with many wonderful elements!

Yoshimi Obara as Kukuri
The original gag manga for me! I was still a little girl when the series started, but I remember reading it with a twinkle in my eye because the content made both little kids and adults laugh out loud and the characters in the story were so cute. So I am very happy to be able to play the role of Kukuri-chan this time!

Katsuyuki Konishi as Kita Kita Oyaji
It was just so much fun. I laughed so much. And I remember reading it in one sitting because it was so powerful.

Haichiyo Daichi as Juju
I was in elementary school when I came across the original work of "Mahoujin Guruguru," and it was just so interesting! And the characters are very strong! I remember thinking, "This is really interesting! I used to play with my friends during cleaning time, drawing magic circles with a bamboo broom. I also practiced drawing Gipple a lot in class, so I can still draw him without looking at any reference materials (laughs).

Yukiyo Fujii as Toma
The interaction between Nike and Kukuri is just adorable ......, and of course the friends have strong characters, even the ones who say a word or two. I felt that all the characters were loved by the audience, so everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves during the recording sessions.

Takahiro Sakurai as Gipple
I remember that I wanted to read "Nangoku Shonen Papuwa-kun" (Tropical Boy Papuwa-kun) so I was reading Gan-Gan, and then suddenly this "Mahoutsukai Guru-Guru" started. I thought it was a delightful work, full of fairy tale-like illustrations and stories that would be popular with men.

The rest of the story is on the official website ( # )!
