Check the official website and official X (formerly Twitter) for further updates, and I look forward to them.2aza Seraphina: Sayumi Suzushiro I’m Sayumi Suzushiro, and I will be playing Seraphina de Ravilant! When I first read the original work, I was drawn in by the cover and thought, “What kind of situation is this!?” How will Sera, who has risked her life for her country, change after meeting Veor?! From the urgent atmosphere to the comical scenes, you can’t take your eyes off it from many angles, and before you know it, you’ll be captivated by it. Combined with the touch of the picture, the power of each scene is just incredible…! I’m looking forward to seeing how Sera and the others move in the anime, and I will play the role with care. Please also pay attention to Sera’s cute personality! Thank you very much!! Veor: Keiji Inomata. I will play Veor’s role. I’m Keiji Inomata! I haven’t played many large and powerful characters, so I was thrilled when it was decided.
The original manga is a full-scale fantasy work with various races and monsters other than humans and barbarians, so I will do my best to play Veor in a way that suits Serah while respecting the worldview of the work! Please look forward to the broadcast! Hishikawa Kana as Tsetzi I am Hishikawa Kana as Tsetzi. I love the bold drawings of Kotobanoriaki-sensei, so I am pleased to watch Serah, who enters that world and comes into contact with a new culture with Veor.
As Tsetzi, I would like to enjoy creating the rhythm of conversation with Veor and others without being shaken by the situation! Everyone, please be sure to watch it!!! Toyosaki Aki as Marcias, who I will be playing, is a priest of the expeditionary army and a fanatical believer in Seraphina. The gap between the madness of love and the pure and profound part makes this character so appealing. I want to play him in a way that expresses his infatuation with Seraphina grotesquely and attractively.
Enjoy the original worldview of Princess Knight and Barbarian Bride, which comes to life in animation and is depicted more dynamically! “Princess Knight and Barbarian Bride” by Kotobanoriaki, volumes 1-8 are on sale now, with the latest volume 9 on April 9th!
