The support we received has accumulated, and we are now able to make a wonderful report of animated animation. The reason why I have been able to continue to draw works is because of the warm feelings of the original author Misawa, the editorial staff, and above all, the readers who read it. Thank you very much. From now on, I would be happy if you could watch over the love between Julius and Elsa with both anime and manga.

cast comment

[Elsa Yukarainen as Yui Ishikawa]
I’m Yui Ishikawa, who will play the role of Elsa. The relationship between Elsa and Julius, which is hard to close the distance, is frustrating but frustrating…! It’s a work that won’t stop heartbeat for the clumsy and pure two people. Please watch over with warm eyes!
Please look forward to the broadcast of “Kimi Ai”!

[Jurius Royus: Soma Saito]
I’m Soma Saito, the voice of Julius. Beautiful paintings, attractive characters, and frustrating but captivating stories. It’s an honor to be involved in the animation of such a wonderful work.
I haven’t seen the finished video yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing Elsa and Julius moving around.
Thank you very much!
