It has been announced that Hibiki Yamamura and Junya Enoki will be appearing in the TV anime "The Next Duke Who Said 'I Have No Intention of Loving You,' But for Some Reason, He Dotes on Me," which is based on a manga currently serialized on the web manga service "Junya Enoki" (Flex Comics). Yamamura will play Rebecca Liikkonen, the childhood friend of Julius Royas, the elite but clumsy and complicated next duke, while Enoki will play Hannes Jukalainen, the younger brother who supports Elsa Jukalainen, the daughter of a fallen noble family.
The series is a heartwarming and adorable romantic comedy that begins when Elsa, a poor but optimistic young lady from a fallen noble family, and Julius, an elite but clumsy and complicated heir to the dukedom, enter into a "contract marriage" on the very day they meet due to a convergence of interests. The anime is directed by Matsui Hitoyuki and produced by Zero-G and Glass. Yui Ishikawa voices Elsa and Soma Saito voices Julius. It will air on TV Asahi and BS Asahi starting in July.
