Deep Dive into the Character Roles and Cast
The details regarding who is playing whom are quite interesting. Mainaka Iwami has been cast as Karin Shinonome, who is the younger sister of our main protagonist, Yuzu. On the other hand, Ryota Osaka (often referred to as Aisaka in some reports) will be voicing Yota Kitsunetsuki. Yota is a demon fox ayakashi who eventually takes Karin as his bride. It is looking like their dynamic will be a major part of the sub-plots.
Moving on to the other pairs, Ayaka Senbongi is going to play Touko, who is Yuzu's best friend. Joining her is the very popular Natsuki Hanae, who takes on the role of Nekota Tokichi. He is a nekomata ayakashi and, keeping with the theme, he takes Touko as his bride. The newly released PV is a treat for the ears because it includes the actual voices of all these characters. If you are wondering why you need to experience this viral anime and manga sensation, the chemistry between the cast members is definitely one of the biggest reasons.
