It has been announced that Ryohei Kimura and Ryota Suzuki will be appearing as voice actors in the TV anime "The Next Duke Who Said 'I Have No Intention of Loving You' But for Some Reason Dotes on Me," which is based on a manga currently serialized on the web manga service "COMIC Ryota Suzuki" (Flex Comics). Kimura will play Alexis, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Ralt who ordered Julius to marry Elsa, and Suzuki will play Yere, Alexis's confidant.
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.
