Comments have also arrived.

Rob CV: Hochu Otsuka

He is a butler who works for the priest and has been taking care of the priest since he was kicked out of the main residence. With 50 years of experience as a butler, he does his job perfectly, but he is unaware of his own aging and sometimes causes unexpected trouble.


<Cast Member's Comment
He is a nice gentleman.
He seems to be a man of many stories with various pasts, but he is not.
He seems to be a suspicious character with a terrible scheme in his belly, but he doesn't seem to be so.
He is a man who simply takes pleasure in protecting and nurturing his little boy.
I like this kind of character.
I would be happy if I could gently help Alice and her little boy in their pure love, which is a bit erotic and quite toothless.

Viola CV: Inori Minase
Inori Minase is the younger sister of Bo-chan. She is a girl around her age, full of interest in sweets and love. She has a wild personality and regularly visits Bo-chan's villa, which is forbidden by her mother. She is friendly with everyone, but in front of her favorite Rob, she gets nervous and can't speak well.


<Cast Member's Comment
I love him, but I can't touch him.
The sad and fleeting love story is fascinating.
I am always moved by the dialogue between them as they confirm their feelings for each other while being tossed around by Alice.
Viola, the character I play, is the devilish younger sister who enters the relationship between the two with her feet firmly planted in the ground.
Please look forward to Viola's facial expressions!

Cuff CV: Wakana Kuramochi
A witch girl. She is hated by both humans and witches because of her half-human, half-witch origins, but she has lived a strong life. She is aware that she is not wise, so she leaves her judgment to her childhood friend Zain. She can transform into a bat by manipulating flames.


<Cast Member's Comment> *Original text
My name is Wakana Kuramochi, and I will be playing the role of Cuff.
When I read the original story, I felt that "Shinigami Bo-chan to Kuro Maid" is a wonderful work filled with various things such as someone's feelings for someone else, the desire to protect one's loved ones, family, friends, and colleagues.
I will do my best to convey the charm of Kafu-chan, who is straight, lovable, and sometimes cool!


Zain CV: Hiroshi Kamiya
A magician. He has a bird-like head and can transform into a white crow. He is a childhood friend of Kahu's and loves her dearly, but he is also a womanizer. He immediately hits on any girl he meets, and is often beaten up by Kahu for doing so.


<Cast Member's Comment
When I was asked to voice Zain, I read the original story in one sitting!
The purity of the boy and Alice was heartwarming!
The dark, pure and beautiful world of the original story is clearly and unambiguously reproduced by digital technology!
Please look forward to the anime version of "Shinigami Bo-chan and the Black Maid"!


Walter CV: Yuma Uchida
Yuma Uchida is the younger brother of the boy. He is a gentleman and good-looking, but when he talks about his eldest son, Walter gets very angry and has a strong rivalry with him. He has a severe second son complex and even the number 2 makes him depressed.


<Cast Member's Comment
My name is Yuma Uchida, and I will be playing the role of Walter. This is a story about a sentimental boy and a fanny maid. I think the sadness that lies beneath the laugh-out-loud behavior is the charm that draws us to the story.
I am very much looking forward to seeing how this story will come to life in the animation. Please check out "Shinigami Bo-chan to Kuro Maid"!
