She is easy-going and carefree, and often makes mistakes.
However, she has excellent powers of observation and deduction, which she brings to bear in the battle against the "enemies of mankind.

Rumi Okubo (Hiiragi Nana) comment
My name is Rumi Okubo, and I will be playing the role of Nana Hiiragi.
I have been hooked on the story since I read the original story at the audition, and I was very happy when I was chosen to play the role of Nana.
The isolated training school, the children with mysterious abilities, the mysterious "enemies of mankind," etc... I would like to play a role that is close to Nana in my own way, to see how Nana fights against the "enemies of mankind" and how she grows up.
I am very nervous to play the lead role, but I am also very enthusiastic!
I hope you will give my best regards to the TV anime "Nanao the Incompetent".

Nanao Nakajima (CV: Hiro Shimono)
A boy with a strong sense of justice and abilities. He yearns to be a hero and loves school ability battle manga.
He has a passionate heart and ambition to stand up to the "enemies of mankind," but he lacks confidence in his abilities and is a quiet presence in the classroom. He keeps his abilities hidden from his classmates, who call him "incompetent" and make fun of him.
However, his encounter with Hiiragi Nana, a transfer student, leads him to an unexpected turn of fate.

Comment from Hiro Shimono (playing Nanao Nakajima)
My name is Hiro Shimono, and I will be playing the role of Nanao Nakajima.
I personally like this kind of story, and I am looking forward to seeing how Nanao, with his shy or reclusive personality, will fare in the show.

Kyoya Onodera (CV: Yuichi Nakamura)

He is brusque and unassuming. He is very cautious and does not easily reveal his abilities.
He is an enigma.
He has the same powers of observation and deduction as Nana, and is also an extremely well-read and knowledgeable person. As he investigates various incidents that occur frequently at the school, he and Nana become rivals as well as collaborators.
He likes enka and idol songs. He is looking for friends.

Yuichi Nakamura (Kyoya Onodera) comment
When I auditioned for the role, I saw the original story for the first time. I was surprised at how unreadable the story was and how it developed, and I was drawn in by the fascinating character.

I hope I can express a sense of balance between the two.

Theme song information is now available! Artist's comment is now available!

Opening theme "Broken Sky

Comment by Mimyu Tomita
My name is Mimyu Tomita, and I will be in charge of the OP theme song for "Nana the Incompetent".
The other day, I saw the OP video, and it is a wonderful and powerful video linked to the song, and I can't help but look forward to its airing!
The song is also a serious, edgy, and dark song that goes along with the work. I also put my soul into the song and sang it with all my might.
I hope you will enjoy the theme song "Broken Sky" as well as the anime!

Ending theme song "Call me a Bakemono

Chiai Fujikawa comment
My name is Chiai Fujikawa and I am in charge of the ending theme for the anime "Nana the Incompetent".
The story unfolds in a way that goes beyond the imagination! The story unfolded in a way that was beyond my imagination, and I was completely betrayed from the beginning. This is the first time I have ever confronted the main character with such feelings of being beaten up and bewildered. I should have hated him, but before I knew it, I found myself sympathizing with him, and before I knew it, I was completely drawn into the story.
Looking forward to the next development of the story, I wrote a song titled "Call Me a Bakemono" for this project.
I wrote this song together with the audience as I struggled with the conflict between having special abilities and not having any, and what that conflict would lead to. I hope that this song will touch the hearts of our fans.
