The “Lost World Visual” of the TV anime “Draw This and Die” based on the original work by Minoru Toyota has been released. Additional cast members and the second PV have also been released.
The “Lost World Visual” commemorates the TV anime adaptation of the story “Lost World,” which depicts the past of Teshima Rei, a Japanese language teacher at the high school where the main character Anmi Sho attends, who devoted his youth to manga. The work depicts a contrast between the young Teshima, who devotes himself to his creations while brimming with magma, and the present-day Teshima, who looks back on his past at the port of Izuo Island.
Additional cast members include Noriko Hidaka, Atsumi Tanezaki, Yukana, and Kikuko Inoue. Hidaka will play the role of Pokota, a robot that appears in Ai's bible "Robota and Pokota" and Ai's imaginary friend. Tanezaki plays the role of Nana Teramura, the owner of a rental bookstore specializing in manga on Izuojima, which Ai frequents, and Yukana plays the role of Kongoji Hana, the editor in charge of Teshima when he was aiming to become a manga artist in the past. Inoue will play the role of Hebichika Sensei, a popular manga artist.
The second teaser PV also includes the voices of the cast members. The main characters appear one after another, including Ai, a first-year high school student who loves manga, played by Akira Sekine, Teshima, played by Saori Hayami, Kokoro Fujimori, Ai's classmate who is good at drawing, played by Saya Hitomi, Yuki Akafuku, Ai's classmate, played by Kanon Fujimura, and Ryuko Seki, who works as an amateur manga artist played by Inori Minase. In addition, Pokota, Teramura, and others whose cast members have been announced this time will also be shown.
``Draw This and Die'' is a ``manga romantic growth story'' that depicts Ai, who lives on a remote island in Tokyo, forms a manga study group with his friends and searches for what he wants to draw. Starting in July, it will be broadcast on Nippon Television's ``Fura-Ani'' every Friday from 11:30 pm on 30 stations nationwide. The original manga is currently being serialized in Gessan (Shogakukan).
