Additional cast information has been released from the animated film "Haikara-san risetsu Part 2: Hana no Tokyo Dai roman" (Haikara-san risetsu: Tokyo Grand Roman).

The manga "Haikara-san risetsu" was serialized by Kazuki Yamato in "Shukan Shoujo Friend" (Kodansha) from 1975 to 1977, and depicts the turbulent adolescence of the main character, Benio Hanamura, set in the Taisho Era (1912-1926). In 2016, it was announced that the story would be adapted into an animated theater version, which would consist of two parts: the first part and the second part, with the first part, "Part 1: Benio, Hana no 17-sai," being released in November 2017. The second part, "Part 2: Hana no Tokyo Dai Roman", which will finally be released on October 19 this year, will depict the last part of the original story, which has never been animated before.

The production staff will be directed by animation director Seimei Kidokoro, who also worked as assistant director on "Hanabatake, kara mieru ka, yoko kara mieru ka," and the character design will be done by Terumi Nishii, as in the first part. The film also stars Saori Hayami as the heroine Benio, Mamoru Miyano as the Ensign, Takahiro Sakurai as Fuyusei Aoe, and other splendid voice actors.

The additional cast announced this time is Maaya Sakamoto. She will play Larisa, the wife of Marquis Sasha Mikhailov, a former Russian aristocrat who has defected to Japan from Russia and will appear in the second part of the film. What is the secret of Larisa, who stands in the way of Benio (voice: Saori Hayami), who is chasing after Sasha (voice: Mamoru Miyano), who looks exactly like the Ensign (voice: Mamoru Miyano) who has disappeared?

Sakamoto-san says of Larisa's character, "She is alone with a big secret that she can't tell anyone. Larisa is the complete opposite of the free minded Benio. In the story, I wondered if the audience would hate her, but after reading the script, I realized that she is not a bad person or mean-spirited, and that she is trying her best to live her life.
