Cast Comments

<Minami Takahashi's comment
I first met Hoshi when she played the role of "Hoshi" in "More than a husband and wife, less than a lover. I was introduced to "More than a Couple, Less than a Lover" by Onishi-san, who plays Hoshi, who told me that there was an interesting work!
I went home and read the latest issue nonstop, feeling excited and nervous.
I never thought I would be cast in the anime adaptation of such a work!
Friendship is also important in this work, and I hope to enjoy playing the role of Sachi Takamiya!

<Azumi Waki's comment
I will be playing the role of Natsumi, one of Hoshi's close friends!
Natsumi is like a younger sister, bright and good-natured.
The world of this work is exactly the kind of world that every girl dreams of, and I love the fact that the person I love is in a pseudo-couple with another person... a setting that would make my heart ache if I were in that position (laugh).
その中でも新たな恋が芽生えたり、互いの素敵な一面を見つけたり、意識してなかったのに突然きゅんとしたり…
I hope you will watch the show with excitement!

＜Yui Ogura's comment
I have the honor of playing the role of Mei Hamano, Shiori's friend.
I was very happy to be chosen because I have wanted to play this character since I auditioned for the role.
In this work, all the characters gradually realize the importance of conveying their honest feelings and thoughts to each other as they go through "couple practice.
Mei is boyish and popular among the female students, but I will do my best to express her true feelings, frustrations, and complicated emotions!

<Comments from Sho Nogami
My name is Sho Nogami, and I will be voicing Sadaharu Kamo.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the anime will depict the delicate emotions, not just joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, that arise in the special life of the "married couple training".
I hope you will enjoy it along with the wonderful original story.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!
I envy you, Jiro! Jiro-chan!

＜Shuichi Uchida's comment
The characters in "More than Married Couple, Less than Lovers" are all very attractive. The more I read, the more I can't help but think that I want them all to be happy!
Shu Terafune, who will be playing the role of Tera, is an honest and straightforward boy whose thoughts come out in his voice, face, and attitude.
I will do my best to play the role as well as Terra's aggressiveness!
