A new visual of former commoner and former rock girl Lilisa Suzunomiya, who appears in the TV anime "Rock wa Lady no Tashinamideshite," based on the manga by Fukuda Hiroshi currently being serialized in the manga magazine "Young Animal" (Hakusensha), has been released. Titled "Character Gap Visuals," the visuals express the gap between the characters, and show the contrast between Ririsa elegantly practicing violin in her school uniform, and Ririsa strumming her guitar vigorously. Ririsa's character PV has also been released. Voice actor Akira Sekine will play Ririsa.
In the future, gap visuals and PVs of other characters will be released, and the next one will feature the highly skilled young lady drummer Kurogane Otoha.
It was also announced that an advance screening and talk show for the film will be held at Shinjuku Piccadilly (Shinjuku, Tokyo) on March 16th. Sekine, who plays Suzunomiya Ririsa, and Miyuri Shimabukuro, who plays Kurogane Otoha, will be on stage.
"Rock wa Lady no Tashinamideshite" is a manga by Fukuda, who is known for "The World in 5 Minutes" and "Tojo Senjin!! Mushibugyo", and began serialization in "Young Animal" in October 2022. It is a youth story with the theme of "young lady x rock". Suzunomiya Ririsa, a former commoner and former rock girl who became super rich after her mother remarried and was forced to live a cramped life, abandoning her guitar and her own feelings in order to behave like a young lady at her school, meets Kurogane Otoha, a highly skilled young lady drummer who attends the same school, and rekindles her love for rock and begins to enjoy band activities.
The anime will be directed by Shinya Watada and produced by BN Pictures. It will be broadcast on TBS starting in April.
