Additional Cast for Anime "The Summer Hikaru Died" Announced: Yumiri Hanamori, Wakana Kowaka, and Chikahiro Kobayashi Join! Cast Comments Also Arrived

Comments from the newly announced cast have arrived!

Yumiri Hanamori (role of Asako Yamagishi)

I'm Yumiri Hanamori, playing the role of Asako Yamagishi. When I first read this work, I was greatly shocked that the story begins from a point where it was too late. What lies beyond what shouldn't exist. If something almost identical to what we couldn't save appeared before us. What would we choose? What awaits at the end of their summer?

I will do my best to perform so that you can feel the air that clings to your skin. Thank you very much for your support.

Wakana Kowaka (role of Rie Kurebayashi)

I'm Wakana Kowaka, in charge of the role of Rie Kurebayashi. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this work, with its swirling emotions, will be visualized. And the Mie dialect! We're all working hard on the recording! I want to portray Rie Kurebayashi as someone who is close to the two, with kindness within her strictness.

 Chikahiro Kobayashi (role of Tanaka)

When I read the original work, I was gripped from the beginning, wondering what was going to happen! The nostalgic summer scenery that everyone might feel familiar with is mixed with the unknown fear and mystery of what's actually happening. It's incredibly interesting.

I'm really happy to be able to blend into the atmosphere of this work...! Let's all watch it together when summer comes!
