posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Toei Animation and Frontier Works' Mahō × Shōnen × Days!!!!! project is getting a second drama CD on August 26. The new drama CD will introduce a pair of twins as new characters.
The first drama CD was announced in March and is slated for release on June 24.
The premise combines slapstick comedy and the magical girl genre with a genderbent twist. The project stars five "Magic Sabers," a team of boys who are candidates to be the heir to the throne of a kingdom of magic, but can't keep up in school. The king gives them a mission to perform good deeds in the human world, and they can't return until they've grown up. They transform in order to use their magic, but they must all transform at the same time―if they don't the transformation will be halted and they'll end up naked.
Toshie Kawamura (Karneval, Smile Precure!) is designing the characters. The voice cast for the CD includes:
- Sōma Saitō as Yūki, a clumsy but kind 14-year-old boy.
- Hiro Shimono as Hikaru, a prideful 14-year-old boy who sometimes gets angry easily. He follows his younger brother Yūki to Earth.
- Tetsuya Kakihara as Takuto, a 14-year-old mood-maker who loves girls and is always teasing Hikaru.
- Akira Ishida as Ran, a 16-year-old "mad scientist" with a high IQ. He does things at his own pace.
- Katsuyuki Konishi as Daichi, a 16-year-old boy who seems scary and is quick to pick fights, but he cares for Yūki like a brother.
- Jouji Nakata as Owl Lord, the prime minister of the magic kingdom and the boys' hot-blooded coach.
Toei began streaming an animated promotional video for the first drama CD last month.
