The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife anime has released the first teaser trailer, along with new details including its main voice cast and creative team. The series is scheduled to premiere in 2026, with the news arriving nearly eight months after the anime’s initial announcement in November 2024
The newly revealed cast features Yohei Azakami as Akira and Yuka Nukui as Shizuka. Azakami previously voiced the character in a manga reading, commenting:
I’m Yohei Azakami, voice of Akira Tounome. I voiced him once before in a manga reading program, and I’ve loved the story ever since. The warmth and gentle tone of this series stayed with me, so I’m thrilled to play Akira in the anime—it truly feels like fate. I hope the emotion in this story reaches you. Thank you for your support!
His character, Akira Tounome, is described: A detective at the “Tounome Detective Agency,” Akira is a gentlemanly non-human man who cannot be seen by the naked eye. He has the ability to turn not only his body but even his clothes completely invisible .Though he can disappear at will, he finds himself drawn to Yakou, the one person who can still find him.
Nukui noted the emotional depth required to portray Shizuka, highlighting the challenges of voicing a character in a relationship built largely on unseen interaction:
I’m Yuka Nukui, voice of Shizuka Yakou. I’ve loved this series for a long time, so I was determined to land the role. Shizuka is pure, playful, and a bit shy—truly an adorable character. Recording through the pre-scoring method helped us focus on the emotions and atmosphere you can’t “see.” It was a fun and meaningful experience. I hope you’ll enjoy Akira and Shizuka’s sweet and slow-blooming romance and the gentle world they live in.
Her character, Shizuka Yakou, is described: A receptionist at the “Tounome Detective Agency,” Shizuka is a calm and gentle human woman who is blind. She has highly sensitive hearing, smell, and touch. New to romance, she often gets flustered by Akira Tounome’s advances.
