Fans should check it out as well. Original work: Mikami Te Ren Watanabe is being made into an anime! Yay! Four years ago, I created this work and the genre “Girls’ Love Comedy” with the feeling that “There are too few yuri in light novels… I want to read more… I’ll make it popular…”. Now, beyond the framework of light novels, the term “Girls’ Love Comedy” is heard everywhere. I’m happy!
This anime adaptation will allow even more people to enjoy it! Please, Renako. Kanna Nakamura, I’ve been a big fan of this work since I read the original work. Each character has their drama and is a charming girl. Every episode is full of excitement, and it’s the best. Renako is always on edge, but she is a kind and empathetic natural flirt. That’s her charm, so I will do my best to play her.
I appreciate your support! Saori Onishi, I feel that the theme of this work, “love between girls,” is so deep while playing Mayu! The original teachers, directors, and other staff members are all very enthusiastic, and it’s a luxurious place where we can carefully do the dubbing every time…! I’m grateful and excited that “Watanabe” will reach everyone soon. Please look forward to the broadcast…! Anzai Yukari When I first voiced Hydrangea’s words, I felt it was right, and I thought it would be great if I could be in charge of the voice.
I was thrilled when I learned that I would be entrusted with Hydrangea. I’m playing her with care. I like expressive conversations and relationships and look forward to seeing them move in the anime. I hope everyone will look forward to it. TV anime “Watashi ga Koibito ni Naru Wake Nani Jan, Muri Muri! (※It wasn’t impossible!?)” TV anime adaptation decided for summer 2025!
