Hanako-kun: Emi Ogata

Emi Ogata comment

I was very happy!
The moment I received the offer and read the book, I was captivated by the charm of the original story. It was as if I had the scales of a mermaid...oops, please see the full story from here (laughs).
The "school haunting" that once attracts the hearts of people of any generation
is a cute, careful, and fascinating work. In the midst of this, there is a cute but sassy, soft and fluffy but slightly erotic "Hanabana".
I will do my best to increase the rate of synchronization with the cute but sly, soft but slightly naughty "Hanako-kun" in the work.
Together with our trusted team of creators and staff, young and talented voice actors, we will bring you to a mysterious world full of thrills and excitement.
Please look forward to it.

Yahiro Nene: Akari Kito

Comment from Akari Kito

My name is Akari Kito, and I will be voicing Nene Yahiro!
I bought the first volume of the original "Hanako-kun, the Boy Who Binds the Earth" when it was first released and read it cover to cover, so I never thought that I would be asked to voice Nene!
When I was accepted, I was both happy and surprised that I could do the voice of such a lovely Nene...? As a fan of the original work, I hope I can express the image I have of Nene and the wonderful world of the work as well as possible!

I will do my best so that both fans of the original work and newcomers to the anime can enjoy the show.

Hikaru Minamoto: Shoya Chiba

Comment from Shoya Chiba

I read the original story before the audition, and I was fascinated by its funny and amusing touch, but also by its surprising subtleties of emotion and compassion.
I was very happy to be able to voice Hikaru. I am attracted to his straightforwardness and kindness. He is full of youthful vigor and intelligence with the resilience of a junior high school student. I think it is very cool that he has the potential to grow even when faced with something, and I think that is very cool for a boy.
I will do my best to express his good qualities in my performance. I am also very much looking forward to seeing Hikaru and his friends moving around energetically. I hope that the anime "Hanako-kun, the Jishibu Boy" will reach many people.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!
