Since it’s for adults, she has a wealth of knowledge about the subject and cutely teases Akane. It’s incredibly powerful, but the developer is unknown. And it’s an illegal robot.

Even during the audition, I thought it would be an interesting role to play because of the contrast between her personality and her true self. I was so happy when I heard I’d been accepted. Akane is so adorable, constantly being led around by Nadeshiko, but as they connect with each other and become more and more adorable! I did my best to portray Akane, who is cool, cute, and innocent. Please look forward to the broadcast!

As her name suggests, Nadeshiko has a gentle and devoted side, but She’s an innocent and cute girl who can sometimes push Akane around or go off on a lewd tangent with her forcefulness. As she spends time with Akane, Nadeshiko experiences joy and worry like a human being, and I will do my best to portray her with love and care, portraying her delicate emotional nuances. Please tune in! Image

I love yuri works and have been a fan of the original manga since the first volume, so when I heard about the role, I was so happy I thought I might faint! Ito-san is a cute junior character who is a lovesick girl who admires Akane, and she has some similarities to my personality. I was a little nervous while acting, but it was a lot of fun. Please look forward to the sexy, cute, and funny Hanisuka! ◆Revealing the production staff! This work is being produced by a stellar team of staff.

Because Nadeshiko is an android, she expresses her love in a straightforward and devoted way. This sentiment resonates with Akane, who has grown into a troublesome adult with each passing year. I hope to portray the deepening of their relationship in a way that is sometimes comical, sometimes sexy, and sometimes touching.

It’s full of slightly naughty scenes, so we hope you’ll be soothed by Nadeshiko’s cuteness just like Akane! ◆Do androids count as people you’ve had sex with?
