Haruka Shiraishi as Kirie Honba - Official comment

-How did you feel when the second season was decided?

Anyway, I was really, really happy!
I was so happy when I saw the surprise message "The second season will be produced! I was so happy that I cried reflexively. It took me a while to realize how excited I was, but when my older brothers and sisters who had always supported me said "Welcome back," I gradually began to realize how happy I was.

-What do you think is attractive about the character of Kirie Honba through the first season?

She is shy, but I think she is a kind girl who always looks around her properly!
She is clumsy, but as she hangs out with everyone, she becomes more and more honest and even gets into some tics, so when I compare the Kirie from the beginning to the Kirie of today, I am very happy to see her growth!

-Do you have anything in common or similarities with your characters?

I think they are similar in that they act suspiciously when they are nervous or shy!
Also, when they see something cute (master), they get all derek-like (laugh).

What is your "dried-up sister index"? What is your "dried-up sister index" and why?

My "dried-up sister index" is 90%.
On my days off, I don't want to move as much as possible, so I'm lazy all the time. I love to be lazy!
But I also help out with the housework, so please let me deduct 10%! (Laughs)

-What is your enthusiasm for the second season?

Thank you so much to my brothers and sisters who have been waiting for the second season!
Thanks to so many people, I am really grateful to be able to play Kirie-chan again.
I really appreciate that I will be able to play the role of Kirie-chan again, thanks to the support of so many people! I will do my best so that even more people will love "Umaru-chan"!
