Q1: What is your impression of this work?
Pace's previous life was as a pastry chef, and it is fun to see how his knowledge comes in handy in unexpected ways in his new world, and how he brings smiles to everyone's faces when he serves them delicious sweets. In the midst of all this, I thought it was interesting that she has a cute dream of creating a country of sweets. (Candy apples...I want to eat them...)

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
The character I will be playing, Marcarlo, is a cheerful and caring boy who sometimes has trouble being honest. He is too honest and sometimes dangerous, but he is cute and childlike in that way as well. I will do my best to make him come alive!

She is one of Pace's childhood friends and her nickname is Lumi.

Q1: What is your impression of this work?
When I heard that a pastry chef is reincarnated in another world, I wondered what kind of story it would be! I am very excited. The sweets in the work look really delicious, so I am looking forward to seeing them in the anime!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?
Lumi is an energetic girl!
She is mischievous and playful, so I feel energized when I play her. I hope to have a lot of fun with Pace and his friends!

She has a complex about her shy sister compared to her more sociable sister, but the sisters get along very well.

<Cast Comments> Q1.
Q1: What is your impression of this work?
Kind, warm, and sometimes salty... "Okashi no Tensei" is a work like a candy! The main character, Pace-kun's head is also full of sweets, and I like his interesting interactions with the adults around him. Enjoy the way he struggles to enrich his mind with sweets! I am sure you will get hungry!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?
It has been 4 or 5 years since I met Licorice, and I am happy to play her again! She is a healthy, lovely and kind daughter of a nobleman, but she lacks self-confidence and tends to compare herself with others. She is a girl who is not confident in herself and tends to compare herself with others. When she meets Mr. Pace, she learns many things and becomes more and more attractive! Please watch over her and Pace-kun together!

Author: Nozomu Koryu's congratulatory comment
Sweets are for smiles. There are many things in this world that are considered unnecessary if we just want to live. Sweets and animations are probably one of them. However, both sweets and animation have the power to make life more enjoyable and richer.
In these difficult times, we want to bring smiles to many people's faces. I want them to have fun. I hope so.
I hope this animation will help bring smiles to many people's faces. Viva, Sweets!
