The anime adaptation of "My Little Monster" has been confirmed for 2024, but have you researched the characters that appear in the work beforehand? This work is attracting attention not only for its unique world view, but also for the characters that play an active role in that world view, and it can be said that the charm of this work cannot be discussed without mentioning the many attractive characters that appear. Therefore, in the anime version of this work, how the characters are portrayed and what voice actors will play those characters are very important elements. For anime fans who are looking forward to the anime adaptation of this work, it is a very important element, so be sure to check out the characters of the anime version again through this article.
Mutsumi Sugimoto (Mu-chan)
The main character in this work is Mutsumi Sugimoto, commonly known as Mu-chan. Mu-chan is a very bright and active girl who can interact with various monsters without discrimination. She will appear in the story of this work as a character who meets and becomes familiar with many characters, so there is no doubt that she is a very important character.
Father Missing
Mu-chan has a bright and cheerful personality, but she also has a sad past in which her father once went missing due to a mysterious phenomenon. Her ambivalent feelings of suddenly losing her father, while still acting cheerful around her, are a particularly important element in the story, so be sure to pay attention to this as well.
Friendship with Jiro (?)
Moo-chan is also a character who is deeply connected to the yokai Jiro. The negotiations between the lively, cheerful and active Moo-chan and the quiet and gentle Jiro are very reassuring to watch throughout the story, and they also have important meanings in important scenes in the story, such as the depiction of the village's past, so be sure to check them out.
The voice actor is Yukawa Asaki
The voice of Mu-chan is played by voice actor Yukawa Asaki. Yukawa is a young voice actor who began his career as a voice actor in earnest in 2023, but he has already been selected as the voice actor for Hojo Tokiyuki, the protagonist of "Nige-jozu no Waka-kun", which will be broadcast this year in 2024, just like Mu-chan, the main character of this work. It can be said that he is a new voice actor who is currently attracting a lot of attention.
Jirobo, Enkazan
Like Mu-chan, Jiro is a main character who plays an active role. Jiro is the character who is closest to Mu-chan in the village, and from Mu-chan's point of view, Jiro is the monster next door. He is a very gentle and kind monster, but he seems to have a big mission and is often involved in serious scenes.
Protect the village
His role is to protect the village where Mu-chan and his friends live, and he is a character who patrols every day to ensure that the village does not fall into danger due to various youkai incidents. Youkai live longer than humans, so he is a youkai who has been protecting the safety of the village for hundreds of years.
Past with the White Snake
Jiro has a past where, when he stopped a flood in the village a long time ago, he killed the white snake and its child, which were the source of the flood. Of course, it was to protect the village, so it was inevitable that he killed the white snake, but the white snake, whose child was killed, continued to remain as a vengeful spirit and continue to curse Jiro. It will be interesting to see how this relationship with the white snake will end in the story.
The voice actor is Ryosuke Higa
The voice of Jiro is played by voice actor Ryosuke Higa. Higa is also a voice actor who made his debut in 2018, so he can be said to be a young voice actor who is currently attracting attention. One of his representative works is Fukurock from "Magica Party", which aired in 2021. Jiro, who appears in this work, is the first time that Higa has played a main character in a long time, so I think he has put a lot of effort into it.
Buchio
The last main character in this work is a cat demon, Buchio. A cat demon is a Japanese folk yokai that lives for a long time and one day splits its tail in two, turning it into a yokai. Therefore, Buchio was originally just a pet cat, and is still a novice yokai character.
Suddenly Becomes a Yokai
In this work, there are many scenes in which Buchio suddenly becomes a yokai one day, has a sense of self, and is surprised by various events, and the work also focuses on Buchio's new discoveries and surprises as a yokai. There are surprisingly detailed settings, such as the legal procedures required to become a yokai, and the depiction is quite funny, so please be sure to pay attention to Buchio's new life as a yokai in the anime version as well.
Learning to Transform
Because Buchio is still inexperienced as a yokai, he will receive advice from various senior yokai. In particular, he was taught the art of transformation by a fox spirit, who is a very important character. Please pay attention to his relationship with her. Also, the process of Buchio growing as a yokai and gradually becoming able to transform is very exciting to watch, so be sure to check it out.
The voice actor is Kaji Yuki
The voice of Buchio is voice actor Kaji Yuki. Kaji is a famous voice actor who is known to anyone who is familiar with anime. One of his most famous works is Eren Yeager from "Attack on Titan." He is one of the most skilled and experienced voice actors in the voice acting industry, so Buchio's performance is sure to be very impressive.
"A Story of Connections"
In this work, the story progresses as these many fascinating characters interact with each other, making it a "story of connections." It never ends with one character, and in addition to the characters introduced this time, various characters interact with each other as the story progresses, so each character tends to have a more solid character design than other works.
Characters have deep relationships with each other
Therefore, in this work, you should pay attention to the relationships between the characters, rather than each individual character. Some characters behave in the same way, and some characters have faces that they don't show to certain characters. Although the main characters in this work are monsters, you can see very human-like reactions.
Slice of life
Therefore, this work is classified as a slice of life genre, and fans of slice of life genres can truly enjoy it. On the other hand, there are not always stimulating depictions or spectacular battle scenes, so fans of battle and mystery manga may find it a bit boring.
Serious themes
However, on the other hand, this work also contains many unique serious depictions that are unique to a slice-of-life work that depicts everyday life, and because it depicts everyday life, it is a work that teaches the value of family and the importance of interacting with people. It is not a work with a strong flavor, but it is a simple flavor that can be enjoyed over and over again.
Buchio's voice actor, Kaji Yuki, is too funny lol
And above all, what all anime fans should pay attention to is that Kaji Yuki will be playing the role of Buchio, a character that appears in this work. Buchio is a pretty gentle person, and on the other hand, he has a very scary personality, but Kaji Yuki often voices characters with quite a fiery temperament, so it's hard to imagine how he will act as Buchio.
The difference between him and Eren Yeager
Especially for Kaji Yuki, who has played a character with an incredibly strong character, Eren Yeager, it's hard to imagine him as Buchio. It's also interesting to see whether Kaji, who played a person who wanted to kill almost all of humanity, can play a character with such a gentle personality.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of performance he will give
This work is very interesting just because Kaji Yuki is playing the voice of Buchio, and at the same time, it can be said that this is a work with a highlight. I think that even anime fans are very curious about the direction in which Kaji will play the voice of Buchio, so if you are an anime fan who is also a fan of Kaji Yuki, please check out this work.
Eren and Buchio are connected by the keyword "freedom"
By the way, Buchio and Eren have completely different personalities, but they both have a common point of view on freedom. Eren is a character who pathologically desires freedom, while Buchio is a character who is confused by the freedom that has suddenly been given to him. It's quite interesting to pay attention to the difference in the way the two people think about freedom, so please pay attention to the difference in the way the two people think about freedom.
