■Keno Horiuchi as Euripedes Litslan

I became a big fan of this work when I was chosen to appear in an anime about love of killing.
I thought it was a twisted love between assassins, but it is really a very deep story.
Many characters are intricately intertwined and their pasts are unraveled.
The love between two incompatible people is depicted in a sad way.
It is also full of action and substance, and I enjoyed it.
The president of the company to which Chateau-chan belongs is unreliable, but when he has to do something, he does it.
I played the role of a man with a core of kindness.
It is a wonderful film. I hope all the fans will enjoy it.

Kohei Amasaki as Jim

I have loved Jim since I read the original story, so I am very happy to be able to play the role.
I tried to express Jim in a way that only Amasaki could, so I hope you are looking forward to watching the episode!
The work is interesting, the characters are all fascinating, and Jim will play a big role, so please look forward to it!

Tomoaki Maeno as Ho

The impact of the character was particularly strong when he first appeared.
Ho has his own beliefs and objectives, and my first impression of him was that he is a character who is somehow hard to hate, even though his actions are rooted in those beliefs.
I was conscious in my performance to convey the cunning hidden within him and the atmosphere of a strong man who "might get killed if he's not careful. I hope you will watch his story as well.

Donny: Yoshitada Otsuka

I am very honored to play the role of Donny.
I believe Donny is a man who was born in noir and lives in noir.
As a lover of noir novels, I am very happy to play this role.
I was very excited when I played the role.
Ruthless, ruthless, and a hint of melancholy.
I hope everyone is looking forward to the broadcast.

Toshiki Masuda comment

This is my first time singing the theme song, so I am feeling a lot of pressure.
I believe that the song will not spoil the world view of the work and will be an exciting song for the viewers of the anime.
I hope you will enjoy the theme song along with the main story!

Comment by Aika Kobayashi

My name is Aika Kobayashi, and I will be singing the ending theme song!
I read the original story when I was asked to sing the theme song, and I was so drawn into the world that I read it in one sitting.
I was drawn into the world and read it in one sitting. I felt what was true and what was a lie. It is sad, loving, and painful. But I want to believe. I sang "Makoto Period" with these feelings in mind.
It is a song that will expand the world of "Killing Love" even further! Enjoy!
