Anastasia, who struggles to avoid her own bad ending, is brave, strong, and very charming. Her ever-changing expressions are adorable and soothing.

With an intriguing storyline, captivating characters, and beautiful visuals, I believe this is a work that everyone will enjoy, so please look forward to it.

My name is Maeno Tomoaki, and I will be providing the voice acting for Claude.

The writing style and worldview are so beautiful, and as I read the original work, I naturally found myself rooting for Athanasia.

As for Claude, from the audition onwards, I was conscious of incorporating a variety of elements into my acting, such as ruthlessness, hatred, naturalness, and love. I feel that I was given this character because of the life experience I have gained. I will do my best to play the role.

I hope you will look forward to the series.


[Ryohei Kimura (role of Felix Robain)]

Everything is beautifully drawn, the pacing between humor and seriousness is good, and the depth of the truth that is hard to predict is fascinating, but Anastasia is so cute that she leaves all of that behind. Please enjoy!!!


[Nobuhiko Okamoto (role of Lucas)]

My name is Okamoto Nobuhiko and I play the role of Lucas.
He has a somewhat ominous aura about him, and in the first half of the story, his position makes it unclear whether he is an ally or enemy. Rather than clearly positioning him as either good or evil, I wanted to emphasize his sad side and make him mysterious.


[Shuichiro Umeda (role of Ezekiel Alpheus)]

Ezekiel. His face is so beautiful... No, all the characters are just too beautiful...! Ezekiel's droopy eyes and gentle gaze somehow make your heart skip a beat.
The elegant atmosphere is mixed with occasional tension, and I think it's a work that draws you deeper into the story.
I will do my best to bring out his charm as much as possible while acting. Thank you very much!


[Manaka Iwami (role of Jenit Magrita/Jenit Dei Ergea Obelia)]

I will be playing the role of Jennette. My name is Iwami Manaka.
I had originally read the original novel "How I Became a Princess One Day" and loved it, so when I heard about the audition I knew I absolutely wanted to be involved...! I'm really happy to have been entrusted with this role!
I'll do my best to beautifully portray the kind-hearted and adorable Jennette! Thank you for your support!
