cast comment

The role of Jig = Crane: Taito Saka

I’m Taito Saka, who will play the role of “Jig-Crane”.
As a mercenary, he was persecuted after spending a long time with a jig who has learned the art of rationalizing and surviving around the world.
Shiasha, who has lived in hiding alone. The story of such two people begins with a fierce “killing each other”.
“Witches and mercenaries”, a dark, heavy, quiet and somewhat ephemeral story woven by two protruding people who are not heroes.
Please look forward to it.

The role of Shiasha: Saori Hayami

I will be in charge of the voice of the siasha.
When I first touched the original, I was drawn to the richness, delicacy, and the soft and loose feel.
In the recording, we spend a very dense time, carefully and precisely repeating the expressions of each character.
I would like to concentrate one by one and have fun.
I’d be happy if you could pay attention to how the relationship between Jig and Shiasha will change.
Please enjoy the world of “witches and mercenaries” drawn in animation.

Voice drama Vol.1 released! The delivery of the short story has also been decided!

Voice drama supervised by the original author on the SPECIAL page on the official website and YouTube (Bandai Namco Films Works Channel).
Published regularly from today! Please enjoy the conversational play woven by Jig and Shia, ahead of the anime!

We are also planning to deliver this on a regular basis, so please look forward to the release!
