I’m very happy that it’s being made into an anime. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me so far!
Takeda Ayano
I hope that this will encourage more people to read it.
“Flower and Asura” is a manga about a broadcasting club, so it’s a work with a lot of descriptions of voices. I think it must be very difficult for the voice actors to perform, but as a viewer, I’m looking forward to actually hearing the readings in the work.
I’m so happy that the anime adaptation will let me see everyone alive and actually hear their voices. I can feel the life in them. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to experiencing a new world through the anime!!
Musshu
The entire staff is working hard to adapt this wonderful original work into a film!
Ayumu Uwano
We hope that many people will watch it.
I will be playing the role of Haruyama Hana. My name is Fujidera Minori.
Minori Fujidera
When I heard the results of the audition, I was really surprised and my heart was filled with the desire to work harder.
I am very honored and humbled to be able to be involved in such a wonderful work.
I am currently a high school student, just like Kana, and there were many things I could relate to when reading the original work.
I will do my best to work with Kana, who grows through her activities in the broadcasting club, so I hope you will support me.
Looking back on my past, I only have bitter memories, so I wanted to put a lid on my school days.
Miyuri Shimabukaro
However, when I first read “Flowers and Asura”, the realism of the announcement script brought back waves of memories from my school days.
I will face my own past, believing it will be fertilizer for this work, and do my best to read aloud and to be truly close to Mizuki.
I am looking forward to playing Mizuki, who shines brightly on those around her like the sun. Thank you for your support.
Studio Bind (known for Mushoku Tensei) is in charge of animating this anime adaptation. More details will be revealed in the Future! Bookmark our website for more updates!
