This year's 48th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine is announcing more cast members for the television anime of Nakaba Suzuki's The Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai) manga on Wednesday. Yurie Kobori will play Cenette, and Tomoyuki Shimura will play Cenette's father Dana-sensei.

In addition, Megumi Han will play Friesia, Chō will play Golgius, Atsushi Ono will play Ruin, and Nobuyuki Hiyama will play Jude — all of whom are part of the "Weird Fang" group.

The previously announced cast includes:

Kodansha Comics, the publisher of the manga in North America, describes how the story begins:

When they were accused of trying to overthrow the monarchy, the feared warriors the Seven Deadly Sins were sent into exile. Princess Elizabeth discovers the truth - the Sins were framed by the king's guard, the Holy Knights - too late to prevent them from assassinating her father and seizing the throne!

Now the princess is on the run, seeking the Sins to help her reclaim the kingdom. But the first Sin she meets, Meliodas, is a little innkeeper with a talking pig. He doesn't even have a real sword! Have the legends of the Sins' strength been exaggerated?

The television anime premiered on October 5. The Japanese branch of online retailer Amazon is listing the series series at 24 episodes.

Suzuki launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2012, and Kodansha Comics published the fourth English volume in September. Crunchyroll is posting the new chapters as they appear in Japan.
