The third series, “Learn to Love Studying,” is scheduled to begin airing on Saturday, November 1st. The protagonist of “Learning to Love Studying” is Ruuto, whose grades have been stagnating since he entered the fourth grade of elementary school. Even though he’s studying just as well as before, he’s not getting the marks he wants, and his grades are only getting worse… He even got 50 points on his math test, his strongest subject, and he’s gradually losing motivation to study. Then, he meets Master Mochibei, an expert on “making people love studying,” and the story follows Ruuto as he gradually learns how to make them love studying. The story is full of learning tips that will be useful in your daily life. Ahead of the broadcast, we’ll also introduce the new characters who will appear in the “Learning to Love Studying” episode. ■Character information

Since entering fourth grade, she hasn’t been getting the grades she’d hoped for on tests, and her grades have been dropping, which is worrying her a little. Her favorite subject is math.

There’s a lot of knowledge that’s useful even for us adults, so why not encourage your child to love studying together! About the Character Ruto is a good kid who goes at his own pace but is also able to find his own way of studying. Let’s work hard together with my friend Takeo so that he can learn to love studying! Makoto Koichi (role of Takeo, the protagonist’s friend)

But as I grew up, I often realized how important it was. I hope this story will help people learn the benefits of studying and how to enjoy it! About the character I play Takeo is Ruto’s friend. Like Ruto, he’s a boy who loves playing more than studying. When the two of them are together, they can’t help but play… But actually, one of the good things about being friends is that they can study together. Let’s study together! Haruka Chisuga (Routo’s mother)

This series introduces many study tips. I hope you’ll try them out one by one and find the method that works best for you! About the character I play In this series, I voice the mother, who always watches over her family. Sometimes I get annoyed by Ruuto’s laid-back attitude (lol), but I tried to portray her kindness! Fukushi Ochiai (role of Master Mochibei)

I think it can be applied to things other than studying, such as work! About the character I play The sound director told me, “Master Mochibei is a mochi fairy,” so I added a fairy-like feel to him and a muscular build. When Master Mochibei is happy, his head turns into a kagami mochi, which is super cute. Koki Osuzu (as John, Master Mochibei’s partner)

I’m one of them. It may be difficult for children to understand the importance of studying at an early age, but I hope this story will motivate them to study even a little! About the character I play John may seem cool at first glance, but he’s actually a surprisingly passionate dog. Unlike the main character’s pets, “Kattan” and “Tama,” John is Master Mochibei’s partner, so it was refreshing to be the one explaining things to Ruuto and the others. Let’s all study hard together!
