What Would Voice Actress Haruka Shiraishi Become If She Were a Witch? TV Anime "Champignon Witch" Interview

——What about the main characters, Claude and Lize?

Shiraishi: Claude has scenes where he emotionally scolds Luna, but he's also cool. Jun Fukushima was struggling with playing a character in a position he doesn't usually play much, with humorous elements occasionally coming in as spice (lol).

But the part of Fukushima-san that's like his boldness fit perfectly with Claude's interesting aspects, and I thought Claude became even more wonderful.

Regarding Lize, Luna also struggles with how to raise her splendidly as a precious family member like her own child, but that sense of responsibility clashes with the kindness she originally possesses, and there are times when she can't convey things well to Lize.

It's not good to give too much affection, and as Claude also points out, she needs to push her away at some point, but that push-and-pull aspect was a very difficult part to play.

——When interacting with Henri, she seemed like a single girl enveloped in the emotion of love that she didn't know before. Various aspects of Luna's inner self are depicted, aren't they?

Shiraishi: Henri is a wonderful boy she fell in love with at first sight in town, and I think emotions like romantic feelings and love for another person, which Luna had never felt before, were a new awakening as a girl. There's confusion about those emotions, but also the comfort of being enveloped in them.

That dreamlike time may have been just a moment, but I think it was the ultimate happiness for Luna.

——Luna's clumsy and frustrating aspects are also elements that make you want to cheer for her while watching, aren't they?

Shiraishi: She's clumsy, really. It makes you want to cheer for her, and I think her growth as a woman and her growth as a parent are depicted tremendously throughout the story.

——By the way, Luna is a champignon (mushroom) witch, and various witches and wizards appear in the story, such as wind wizards. If you yourself were to become a witch in this world, what kind of witch would you be?

Shiraishi: What kind of witch would I be... That's difficult. My attribute is dog... so perhaps a dog witch! I have a close voice actress friend named Manaka Iwami, but we've become so close that even though she's younger than me, I'm the one who acts spoiled (lol).

I'm more the type to be on guard when I'm out, so people often say I seem strong, but I'd like to become a dog witch in front of Iwami-san and just act spoiled like "heh heh heh" (lol).
