Q1: Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
I think the nicknames used to abbreviate the names of the works are catchy and friendly.
Mankin" is great, isn't it?
While based on the royal road of shonen manga, the original setting, world view, unique characters, appealing artwork, and many quotes that stick in the mind....
I think it is a masterpiece that will remain in the memories of manga fans and leave its mark on manga history.

Q2: What is your enthusiasm for playing the character?
I don't have much to do as Zen Yoneda, but he is a character who is a homage to the original story, and as you can imagine, he sings a couple of songs....
I sang a couple of songs... I did what only I could do while understanding why I was cast in the role.
I hope you enjoy it.

Ryo Sugimoto: Tatsuo Suzuki

<Cast Comments
Q1: What do you think is the most attractive point of this film?
I think it's the feeling of the straightforward and cynical gags that I and the other characters make, and the charm of the rich and deep characters that keeps me turning the pages of the whole series.

Q2: How would you describe your enthusiasm for playing the character?
I tried to give the impression that he wears sunglasses and can play a guitar solo with a lot of gusto.
I also wanted to be the kind of monk who could create a high-spec sound that would allow me to provide songs to various people.
I was also determined to take care of the "B," "´," and "z" very carefully. I'm really into it.
