Azusa Tachibana (Yu Yutani)
- Impression of the Series:
“I’m playing Yu Yutani! Bad Girl is a work that keeps you smiling from start to finish. The characters are adorable, and the gags and jokes make you want to shout, ‘What is this!?’ The interactions are so funny and heartwarming that I couldn’t stop smiling!” - On Playing Yu:
“Yuu is a cute, quirky little creature with a lot of unique traits. Her unusual vocabulary and actions make her seem strange, but she’s very serious at heart. I want to portray the mismatch between her innocence and her attempts at mischief!”
Niina Hanamiya (Atori Mizutori)
- Impression of the Series:
“It’s fast-paced and engaging, and I found myself reading through it in no time. The relationships between the characters surrounding Yuu are fun and heartwarming.” - On Playing Atori:
