＜Comment from Yūichirō Umehara＞
I'm Yūichirō Umehara, and I'll be voicing Menou.
Menou appears cool at first glance, but there were many fun scenes to perform, such as moments where they get flustered while being swept along by Kagami.
From serious scenes to comedic ones, I'm sure you'll enjoy it until the very end, so thank you so much for your continued support!
