Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu Anime Casts Akari Kitō,
Yūko Kurose
The
January 2019 issue of Kadokawa's Comic
Dengeki DaiohG magazine revealed more cast members for the
television anime of Katsuwo's Hitori
Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (Solitary "__" Life, or Hitori Bocchi's
"__" Life) manga on Tuesday.
The
new cast and characters include:
Akari Kitō as Aru Honshō (the character's
name in Japanese order "Aru Honshō" is a pun for "has a hidden
side"), the vice president of Bocchi's class. She is responsible, always
smiling, and is considered reliable by everyone. However she actually has a
pitiful side to her that only Bocchi and Nako know. She has tried really hard
to become perfect ever since she entered middle school.
Yūko
Kurose as Rakita Sotoka (the character's name in Japanese
order "Sotoka Rakita" is a pun for "came from outside") a
beautiful foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes, and who everyone looks up
to. She came to Japan alone. She has always wanted to be a ninja, and somehow
mistook Bocchi for a ninja. Now having been taken in as a pupil, she has begun
training. She is very dexterous, and is good at making origami.
Previously
announced cast members include:
Chisaki Morishita as Bocchi Hitori (the character's name in Japanese order
"Hitori Bocchi" is a pun for "all alone"). She is a new
student to Sakura Dai Ni Middle School, and is very awkward at socializing. She
made a promise to Kai, her friend from grade school, that she will befriend her
entire class before graduating from middle school. She is constantly filled
with anxiety, and approaches any situation with careful planning. She has a
keen eye for how her uniform looks.
Minami
Tanaka as Nako Sunao (the character's name in Japanese
order "Sunao Nako" is a pun for "honest girl"). Bocchi's
first friend in middle school. She sits in front of Bocchi in class. She looks
stern, and often intimidates people from her outward appearance, but she is
actually very caring towards her friends. She always supports Bocchi's attempts
at making friends. She never does anything she doesn't want to do.
Takebumi Anzai (Go!
Go! 575 director, episode director for Darker than Black and Mob Psycho 100) is directing the anime at
studio C2C(Harukana
Receive, WorldEnd). Jukki Hanada (Beyond the Boundary, Sound! Euphonium, Steins;Gate) is both overseeing and
writing the series scripts, and Kii Tanaka (Donten ni Warau Gaiden: Ketsubetsu,
Yamainu no Chikai, Cheating
Craft) is both the character designer and chief animation director.
The
four-panel comedy manga centers around an extremely shy girl named Bocchi
Hitori. (Her name is a wordplay on a Japanese term for solitary.) She enters
middle school and vows to "make friends with the entire class" by
graduation. The story follows her lonely struggle to accomplish her goal.
Kadokawa's Comic
Dengeki DaiohG magazine serializes the original manga,
and Kadokawa published
the fourth compiled book volume on February 26.
Katsuwo's Mitsuboshi Colors manga inspired the television anime of the same
name, which ran from January until March. Sentai Filmworks streamed the
