Cast of you
- No Touyama interprets Mariean ancient martial arts genius that now works as the exclusive “mechanical maid” of Arthur, an heir who despises humans. The Seiyuu commented on the matter:
- The main attraction of this work: It is that it is a crazy romantic comedy! Within the absolute condition of “not letting them discover that it is human,” love is gradually born, and that causes many emotions. Although there is always a sense of danger, there are also carefree moments that make laugh. But most importantly, I think, it is the warmth of loveing someone and feeling loved by someone.
- About playing Marie: Although Marie is inexpressive, inside there is a great excitement of emotions: joy, anger, sadness and fun, and always gives his best, which seems adorable to me. Although the others call her “robot”, in the background she is a warm, kind and sincere girl. His innocence by increasingly falling in love with Mr. Arthur is tremendously charming, so I want to accompany her with love.
- Haruki Ishiya Interpreeta A Arthurthe heir of a powerful conglomerate, who is constantly attacked by murderers due to a fierce battle for inheritance. Avoid all human contact, except with Marie, the “mechanical servant” who trusts. Seiyuu commented on the matter:
- About Arthur’s character: Arthur is someone who has been injured many times by people, so he doesn’t trust humans and lives with a strong emotional shell. However, when interacting with Marie, she begins to show a softer facet, which makes it a very interesting and endearing character. He is a serious boy, but he also has an adorable side, so I would love to notice him while they see the series.
- About interpreting Arthur: Marie and Arthur have a very special bond that is born between a human being that pretends to be a robot and another human being that does not trust humans. I want to carefully express that emotional change that occurs in Arthur, when he begins to see Marie not only as a “maid”, but as someone important to him. I hope to loyalty the emotions and growth of Arthur, and that everyone can enjoy their evolution throughout history.
