Newly-drawn visuals of the characters "Latifah" and "Miharu Ayase" have arrived from "Seirei Gensyou Ki," a TV anime set to be broadcast in 2021.

Seirei Gensyouki" (Author: Yuri Kitayama, Illustration: Riv) is a fantasy novel about a reincarnation in another world, which has sold more than 1.3 million copies. The story is about Rio, who is burdened with memories of his previous life as a university student and the harsh fate of living as an orphan in a slum, and how a connection between his previous and present lives gives him the meaning of life and the strength to fight. TMS Entertainment will be in charge of production.

⇒The long-awaited TV anime adaptation of the much-talked-about "Spirit Fantasy" series, which has sold more than 1.2 million copies in total, has been decided! The cast from the drama CD, including Sadashijo Matsuoka and Akane Fujita, will continue to appear in the anime!

The new visuals of Latifah and Miharu Ayase have been released. Look forward to seeing the girls surrounding the main character, Rio, in action.

In addition, as a joint project with "Cho! Animedia," the third installment of a series of interviews with the main cast members has also been released. This time, we have interviews with Tomori Kusunoki, who plays Latifah, and Aya Harada, who plays Miharu Ayase.

Cast interview Vol.3
Tomori Kusunoki as Latifah

Q1. Please introduce the character you play.
She is a Fuchsbau girl who is kept as a slave by the Duke of Huguenot. In the drama CD included in the special edition of the original novel, I played the adorable part of Latifah, who loves Rio, so I think my impression of her feelings for Rio became even more vivid as I played the deeper part that Latifah is carrying.

Q2: What are you conscious of when playing a character?
As the younger sister among all the characters, I tried to give a charming performance. I was also conscious of making a big difference between her serious expression and the serious expression she had before she became more open to me.

Q3: What parts of the character do you sympathize with, and on the other hand, what parts do you feel you do not have?
Rather than empathy, I was impressed by the fact that I played a character with feelings that I would not have myself. The bitterness of being a slave and the feeling of clinging to someone who is not related to you as if he were one of your family members. I was able to experience a wide range of emotions, from heartbreaking to warm.

Aya Harada as Miharu Ayase

Q1: Please introduce the character you play.
Miharu is kind, gentle and reserved, and I feel that she is close to the ideal image of a "girl" that many people think of, both in terms of her appearance and personality.

Q2: What do you keep in mind when playing the character?
When I play Miharu, I try to give a gentle and soft impression.

Q3: What parts of the character can you relate to, and on the other hand, what parts do you feel you do not have?
I think my character is a little like me in that she gets nervous and reserved when interacting with people. I envy Miharu because she has a lot of girl power, which I don't have.
