Comments from each cast member have also arrived.

Tennoji Awa (CV: Kotori Koiwai)

A ninja and princess from the village of Shimoga. She is not worldly-wise and has a frail constitution, but her ninjutsu skills are top-notch.

She carries her favorite sword, "Shinto Mukonin," with her at all times, and is a runaway from her village.

<Comments

My name is Kotori Koiwai, and I will be voicing Ake Tennoji.

Ai is the older sister of the ninja sisters, but she is troubled by her lack of strength, but she is a girl with a strong core who walks uprightly.

I would like to read the subtleties of her heart and try to record her voice.
And...this may be personal, but I love ninjas! I am very happy that one of my longings has come true.
I will do my best to color the world of "SHY" with all my heart.

I will try my best to color the world of "SHY" with all my heart.

Utsuro (CV: Hitomi Ueda)

A member of "Amaralilk. She carries a sword with her at all times,

He carries a sword with him at all times and feels emptiness in this world.

He knows Ake and is looking forward to meeting her, but...?

<Comments> I will be playing the role of Utsuro.

My name is Hitomi Ueda, and I play the role of Utsuro.

She is in a position of conflict with Shai and the others...,

I think that it might make you feel too close to her if I tell you too much about her and my thoughts on playing her at this point... but let me tell you a little bit about her...!

I will try my best to understand why she is so "Utsuro," and to be a presence that stands firmly in front of the heroes.

I am very happy to have a connection with Utsuro and "SHY" thanks to my ability to speak Kansai dialect.

A story of shy but warm and kind heroes...,

We look forward to working with you again on the second season of the anime.

Please look forward to the second season of the anime.
