<![CDATA[I'm Standing on a Million Lives is a work currently being serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. It tells the story of our protagonists who, although they didn't die in a train attack or in some kind of accident, are suddenly transported to a game world one day and forced to complete a harsh quest. It's a work that combines MMORPG-themed works like "SAO" and "Log Horizon" with "GANTZ," which is a pretty good description. We'd like to introduce the second player, "Hakozaki Kosue," who is caught up in this harsh game but is too frail to even exercise!
Hakozaki Kosue is voiced by "Waki Azumi"!!
Waki Azumi is a voice actress affiliated with the Tokyo Actor Consumers' Cooperative, and her representative works include the role of Katagiri Sanae in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls and the role of Kujo Shion in Are You Lost?. She passed the audition for The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls at her first audition after joining Haikyo, and since then she has gradually been given more opportunities to play main characters.
She has such a frail constitution that she is banned from exercising! This is what Hakozaki Kosue is like in the real world!
A classmate of the protagonist, Yusuke Yotsuya, and the first player, Iu Shindo. She is cute but plain, giving the impression that the protagonist, Yusuke Yotsuya, "knows nothing except that she is physically weak." She is a girl who is always absent from physical education class. It is true that she is the weakest of the others, and strenuous exercise is out of the question. As a result, she is a frail girl with low physical abilities.
How will Hakozaki Kusue perform in the world of games?
In the real world, he has a weak constitution and physical abilities below that of an elementary school student, but in the game world, it's a different story? Or so I thought, but it turns out that his physical abilities in the real world are directly reflected. It seems that he's no longer handicapped by being completely unable to exercise, but he was assigned the warrior (sword) job as his initial job, and because of his low physical abilities, he couldn't carry heavy equipment and was completely useless in battle. His hesitation to kill enemies, due to his kind personality and inability to even kill bugs in the first place, also makes him a weaker player.
His job after ranking up is Heavy Warrior (Sword)
Due to the aforementioned handicap, he was unable to earn much experience, and he only ranked up at the end of the 5th week. Moreover, his job after ranking up was Heavy Soldier (Sword), an advanced warrior job. His weak constitution seems to have been greatly improved by the correction of the advanced job, but his kind personality and aversion to killing remain the same, so he is still not very reliable in battle. However, it is probably important that he had a minimum level of athletic ability, even with the correction of the warrior job, and in the end, the warrior job may have been the best. Since improvements in physical abilities are reflected to some extent in the real world, her frail constitution in the real world may have improved a little.
What kind of personality does Hakozaki Kosue have? A player who actually observes people closely
She is originally a frail, timid girl who is not very assertive. And at the heart of her thoughts is that she wants to save any life she can from her situation and does not want to take any life if possible. This way of thinking is fatal in terms of combat due to her own frail constitution, but on the other hand, her kind personality also has the advantage that anyone can trust her. In the rounds where elements other than combat have been added to the quest content, there are more opportunities to utilize her individuality, and I am very excited to see her future performances.
Surprisingly sharp
He has a frail constitution and is not good at moving his body, so he always watches during gym class. Perhaps because of this, he often observes people and sometimes makes sharp remarks. In particular, he is able to astutely see through what Yotsuya Yusuke, who usually does not show his true self, is thinking, which sometimes surprises Yusuke.
A child with a strong sense of responsibility
He is not good at killing, and is hesitant to cut the flesh of humanoid monsters or attack humans infected by parasitic monsters. Still, he feels that he has no choice but to do it if it is necessary, and has a strong sense of responsibility. However, unlike Yotsuya Yusuke, it seems that whether he can take action is another matter. However, even if he cannot take action to kill someone, he will take the initiative to act to protect someone, so it can be said that he has a very kind and strong personality.
Where does his strong sense of responsibility come from? Hakozaki Kusue has had to endure the hardships of a frail constitution
Due to his own frail constitution, he has to continue taking medicine that costs 50,000 yen every month, which caused his parents to give up on having a second child. He feels guilty about having been a nuisance to his parents and those around him, and wants to at least be of some use in this world where he can stay healthy. His strong sense of responsibility comes from such experiences, and he strives to be of some use to Yusuke and Iu, who appreciate him even though he could have been discarded as useless.
What is your goal in life?
As a third-year junior high school student, she has already decided on her future goal: to go to a university to study pharmacy and develop a drug to cure her illness. Due to her frail constitution, her doctor has prevented her from participating in physical education classes. For a child, physical education grades are important, and for her, who can't even exercise properly, studying is the only way to establish her identity.
A girl who hates violence
She was originally not good with boys. She hated to use violence, to be used against others, and to see violence, so she didn't like violent boys. However, in the world of the game, your original physical ability was reflected, and it was a world of the survival of the fittest where you had to kill enemies with violence to earn experience points. Currently in Japan, violence is not necessarily necessary, but in this world you must face violence. With the prerequisites changed, she will use violence and be used against others, even if she doesn't want to.
【I'm Standing on a Million Lives】Hakozaki Kosue Summary
I'm Standing on a Million Lives is a story about being sent to a game world and doing things like "GANTZ", but at the moment, Hakozaki Kosue is not very useful. She is weak and hates violence, so she is not a useful member of the team. However, as the story progresses, there may be more opportunities to utilize her individuality, as the mission is no longer just to kill enemies like in "GANTZ", and there may be other developments. I'm excited to see what will happen to her, who is useless in battle. The anime "I'm Standing on a Million Lives" is scheduled to start airing in October!
