The previously announced Undead Girl Murder Farce has cast Sayumi Suzushiro as Annie Kerber, who is a mysterious newspaper reporter. A character visual for Kerber has been also released, check it out below:
It’s a genre I’ve never touched before, but the more I read about it, the more I was drawn to its novel setting, unique atmosphere, and weirdness in a good way. When I saw this work, I wondered why I hadn’t read it until now. Annie is a newspaper reporter, and I’ve always admired the role of a reporter, so I was very happy when it was decided that I would be able to play the role.
