My name is Seiichiro Yamashita, and I will be playing the role of Jiro Yakuin.
This film has a dreamlike setting and worldview, especially for boys.
I thought it was crazy, but as I read on, I found that it is not only convenient, but there are also troubles and struggles.
I was encouraged by Jiro and Hoshi's courageous actions.
My goal with this work is to make it a "romantic comedy.
I will do my best so that as many people as possible can enjoy this work, so please give me your support.

Shiori Sakurazaka (CV: Saki Miyashita)
A junior in high school. Jiro's classmate and childhood friend.
She is not very confident about herself and is easily shy. She is not good at talking to boys she doesn't know.
Although she is paired with Misakiami in the couple training, she is always concerned about Jiro in some way.

<Cast Comments
Fu Koi" is a sweet and sour story with a lot of love scenes.
I was always thrilled to read it.
Shiori Sakurazaka, who will be playing the role, is a pure, kind, and hardworking girl.
I am looking forward to expressing the difficulty, sadness, and frustration of the impulse to love as Shiori!
Thank you very much for your support!

■Misaki Nami Tenjin (CV: Toshiki Masuda)
A senior in high school. Jiro's classmate.
He has good looks and athletic ability. He is caring and kind to everyone.
Hoshi has a crush on him, but he is paired with Shiori in the marital practice.
He is a refreshingly good-looking guy who is recognized not only by female students but also by male students.

<Cast Member's Comment
Is this kind of practical training really possible?
As a viewer, I am looking forward to seeing how the original story, which I envied and was nervous about how difficult it would be in real life, will be even more thrilling in the anime.
Misaki Tenjin is a girl's dream. He is the complete opposite of me!
I will do my best to play the role of a man who can be admired!
