Comment from Tokino Yosuke (original author): Thanks to everyone’s support, it has been decided that “The Misunderstood Workshop Owner ~The Common Story of a Former Errand Boy of a Hero Party Who Was SSS Rank in Everything Except Combat~” will be animated! Thank you very much! This story was written to be a slightly funny crafting cheat fantasy, so I would be happy if it is a work that makes viewers smile after watching it. I am also very excited about the animation of this work, and I want to burn Kurt’s moving and talking into my eyes as soon as possible. The anime production staff are serious about making it the best anime, so I hope you will wait with me for the broadcast to start.
Comments from Komatsu Mikako (Kurt)□ Impression of the work The protagonist is a kind-hearted man who is unaware of the high level of his abilities, and he manipulates many people, and is manipulated by them, and unconsciously saves people! It’s a gratifying work with the chaos of the characters around Kurt who help him! Impression of the character and enthusiasm for the role: A person with low self-esteem who is the epitome of kindness. He is an attractive character with a high ability level and a natural imbalance. I tried to portray his softness, innocence, and sudden vulnerability that everyone likes. Message to all fans of the original work: Kurt is such a high-spec guy, but you just can’t help but want to protect him.
The heroines are very reliable. They manipulate each other and are manipulated by each other, and even their interactions are heartwarming. You’re sure to grow attached to each character! Please look forward to the broadcast!!
Comment from Seto Asami (role of Eurice) Impression of the work Kurt’s power is satisfying because it can reach the itchy spots, and there is a sense of security that no matter what happens, it will be somehow solved. Seeing the party members attracted to Kurt’s kind and pure personality is fascinating! Impression of my character and enthusiasm for the role I thought Eurice was a shared sense character in charge of Tsukkomi.
The people around her trust her because she has a sense of justice. Since meeting Kurt, she has been surprised one after another, so I would like to play her at various speeds, such as significant reactions and sharp tsukkomi! Message to fans of the original work: I hope that fans who enjoy the manga will also enjoy the interactions between the lively and unique characters in the anime!
Comment from Tanaka Minami (role of Lieselotte) Impression of the work: Kurt’s misunderstandings were hilarious, and the gags were well-paced, so I enjoyed reading it! Kurt’s absent-mindedness lightens the serious parts… I think one of the story’s charms is how the story progresses with an exquisite balance! Impression of the character you will be playing and your enthusiasm for the role: I feel that Lise is a character whose impression changes considerably before and after she meets Kurt.
An awakening! Or rather, lol. There is a big gap between her elegant side and her out-of-control love for Kurt, so I’m looking forward to playing her! Message to all fans of the original work: I am Tanaka Minami, who will be the voice actor for Liselotte! As the character has been made into an anime, the dubbing progresses smoothly and in a friendly atmosphere. I hope you will enjoy the work while addressing Kurt’s misunderstandings. Thank you! TV anime “The Misunderstood Workshop Owner: A Typical Story About a Former Errand Boy for a Hero Party Who Was SSS-Rank in Everything Except Combat” will start airing in April 2025
