The VA cast members are half a show’s success, and its only natural that they try to give their characters their best performance. Here are some official comments from the seiyuu about the upcoming anime.

Natsuki Hanae: VA for Masamune Makabe

Eight years ago, the protagonist was fat and mercilessly bullied every day; he was being called ‘pig’s feet’. He decided to take revenge on Aki Adagaki for dumping him: he went on a diet and came back as a popular handsome man that now girls go after. He is very determined to stay good-looking and continues to work out daily routines of weight training. He doesn’t want to go back to the old days.
