After six years since it was first broadcast in 2017, "Masamune-kun's Revenge" will return as a new series in spring 2023. Many people were probably surprised that a sequel would be broadcast. The previous series ended without a conclusion, so this is very good news for those who were hoping to watch the rest of the anime. As this is the first new series in a long time, people are curious to know which new characters will appear. In this article, we would like to introduce the new characters that have been confirmed so far, along with the voice actors who will be playing them!
What kind of story is it? ?
Hayase Masamune, who was bullied, planned to take revenge on Adagaki Aki, who dumped him and nicknamed him "Pig's Foot". Thanks to the results of dieting and strength training, he was reborn as a handsome man, changed his surname to his grandfather's, and returned to his hometown under the name Makabe Masamune. Now a completely different person from before, Masamune carries out the "Dead or Love Strategy" to make Aki fall in love with him and then dump her in the best way possible. However, Aki's attendant, Koiwai Yoshino, finds out about his past. The plan seemed to be doomed, but Yoshino also seemed to be dissatisfied with Aiki, so she agreed to help with the revenge. What will the outcome of the revenge be?!
Muriel Besson
A French girl living in France who wants to be a manga artist. She wears an eyepatch and looks a bit like an otaku. She also seems to have some incorrect knowledge of Japanese, such as adding "gozaru" to the end of sentences. As for the genre of manga, she seems to want to draw a manga about Japanese high school students. He begs Masamune and Aki, who are visiting on a school trip, to act as a couple for his work, but Masamune and Aki refuse. He bursts into tears at Masamune and Aki's response, and Muriel's brother Frank, who is furious, threatens him, and as a result, Masamune and Aki end up acting as a couple in front of Muriel. After hearing their story, he drew a manga about Masamune and Aki.
Frank Besson
He is Muriel Besson's older brother and a mafia executive. He frequently comes to Japan to do business with the Yakuza, and makes various transactions with them, but in reality he hates Japanese people and secretly looks down on them. He dotes on his younger sister Muriel very much, and is such a siscon that he says that the greatest sin in the world is to make Muriel cry, and the second is to disappoint Muriel. Because of this, he was furious when Masamune and his friends refused his sister's request, and he took many of his subordinates and threatened her at gunpoint, forcing them to act as a couple and model for his sister's manga. Characters with siscons are not uncommon in manga and anime, but when it gets to this stage it seems pretty severe.
Miku Ito (role of Muriel)
The role of Muriel is played by Miku Ito. Since starring in "Ordinary High School Girls Tried [Local Doll]" in 2014, she has appeared in various works. She was inspired by "Cardcaptor Sakura" to become a voice actress. She is also known for her love of special effects such as Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai series, and often talks about her love for special effects in the media. Perhaps her activities have borne fruit, as she has achieved great feats such as appearing in the official dance video for the ending of the Super Sentai series and making her first appearance in the movie version of Kamen Rider Zero-One.
Kase Yasuyuki (role of Frank)
The role of Frank is played by Kase Yasuyuki. He is active in a wide range of fields, mainly dubbing, but he also appears in many anime. I think he is famous for dubbing the main character, Deadpool, from the "Deadpool" series. I also like Deadpool, but I didn't know that Kase was doing dubbing until I looked into Kase. He also dubs Leonardo DiCaprio in some works.
Summary of introduction of new characters
We have introduced the new characters, including the voice actors in charge. Since these are new characters that have been confirmed at this stage, considering that there is still some time until the broadcast, new characters may be added in the future. I'm looking forward to it! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
