It has been announced that Manaka Iwami and Masaya Fukunishi will be joining the cast of the second season of the TV anime " Magilumiere Co. Ltd. Inc.," which is based on a manga serialized on Shueisha's manga app "Shonen Jump+." Iwami will play Sakae Tonomori, the 28th generation shrine maiden of Tonomori Shrine in Kyoto, which has produced many shrine maidens who are the origin of magical girls. Fukunishi will play Hibiki Yamimori, a university student belonging to Kyoto Magic University, a prestigious institution in the magic industry. It was also announced that syudou and Yusei Yagi of "FANTASTICS" will be in charge of the opening theme song, "Latte Magic."
Ishimi commented, "The character I play, Sakae Tonomori, is a goddess and a magical girl. She has a gentle demeanor and is small in stature, but she is very reliable and I think she is a character that exudes maternal qualities. And above all, she is a character who speaks in the Kyoto dialect... so I put my all into every recording session...! First, I was given a guide to the Kyoto dialect and practiced at home, but the staff on set who are from Kyoto also corrected it in a different way, and I realized that dialects differ depending on the region and era, and that they are very profound... I hope you will look forward to seeing Sakae's exploits, as she is both cute and cool!"
Fukunishi said, "Yamimori is someone who has carried the burden of 'loneliness due to his extraordinary abilities for a child.' That's why Tonomori Sakae, who has been shouldering the heavy responsibilities of an adult since childhood, is his irreplaceable childhood friend. I think his quirky, frivolous way of calling such an important person 'Sasapoyo' is also one of his charms (laughs). I'm looking forward to seeing how Yamimori's awareness changes as he interacts with the members of Majirumie. As the actor playing him, I will portray it carefully, and at times boldly and cutely, and be close to him!"
