"An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World" will begin airing in January 2022. With such a suspicious title, it's interesting to wonder who the artist is, and which production company will be making the anime. In this article, we'll introduce you to the author, who will be voicing the main characters, and which production company will be making the anime.
The original author is "Yu Tsurumazaki"
Despite the dubious title, "An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World," the original story and concept are surprisingly (?) handled by a woman, Yu Tsurumazaki. She appears to already have a child, and runs her own doujin circle, "I'd Die for You." She originally worked under the pen name "Hatori Niwatori," but now appears to be working under this name. His currently serialized works include "Tell Me FGO! Grand Order of Great Men and Myths," "SA07," and "An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World," which has recently been announced for an anime adaptation.
Tell Me FGO! Grand Order of Great Men and Myths
This support manga is based on the hugely popular Fate/Grand Order series. Serialized in "Twi4," the heroes themselves explain their legends and anecdotes to the main characters. It's a four-panel comic strip, primarily a light-hearted comedy manga. You can find over 200 chapters by searching "Twi4," so be sure to check it out if you're interested.
SA07
This series is currently being serialized in "Manga Time Kirara Forward." Unfortunately, it's currently on hiatus. The first three chapters are also available for free on "Kirara Base" on Nico Nico Seiga. The story is about a manga and anime vocational school attended by a unique group of students. This is also a comedy manga, and it humorously depicts what a manga and anime vocational school is like. It's recommended for fans of manga where the heroine says things like, "Hogeeeee!" (lol)
There are also many other completed series
In addition to his currently serialized work, the author has also had several other serialized works, the longest of which was "Boxed Drops," which ran in "Manga Time Kirara." This four-panel romantic comedy centers around the protagonist, Yoichi Kasugai, and the heroine, Shizuku Nishimori, who moves in next door, and is filled with various gags. It was serialized from the April 2011 issue to the July 2017 issue, and the comics have already been published up to volume six.
The artist is "Makoto Ikezawa"
The artist behind "An Incarnate Uncle from Another World" is Makoto Ikezawa. He originally worked under the pen name "Chibimaru." He and the original author, Yu Tsurumazaki, are actually married, and the two created this work together. This is not the only work they have worked on together; they also co-wrote "Charlotte," which ran in Manga Time Kirara from September 30, 2015 to January 26, 2019. The manga series concludes with the sixth volume.
The production company is OLM Co., Ltd.
The animation production for "An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World" is handled by OLM Co., Ltd. OLM is divided into approximately 13 teams, and this work is being produced by OLM Team Yoshioka. Previous anime work by Team Yoshioka includes "Restaurant to Another World 2," "Odd Taxi," and "Kirakira Happy★ Hirake! Cocotama."
Who are the voice actors playing the main characters?
While the supporting characters have not yet been revealed, we will introduce the main cast.
Tachibana Hinata
MAO, also known as Tachibana Hinata, plays the main heroine (an older man) in this series. Even though he may be an older man on the inside, he looks like a woman and has a feminine voice, so don't worry (lol). Recently, fans have dubbed him "MAO when you're in trouble," as he has appeared in numerous works, playing not only main characters but also numerous supporting roles. In some years, he appeared in over 30 productions. In 2021, she voiced Shion in "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" and Saki Hanagoshi in "Platinum End." Also, in previous anime roles, she voiced Nakamori Aoko in "Magic Kaito 1412."
Tsukasa Jinguji
The other main character, Tsukasa Jinguji, is played by Satoshi Hino. This popular voice actress has previously played various major characters, including Ainz Ooal Gown in "Overlord" and Sai in "NARUTO." However, she's probably best known for her role as Kyojuro Rengoku in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." Even people unfamiliar with anime will likely recognize her name as "the guy who plays Rengoku" (lol).
Goddess of Love and Beauty
The goddess of love and beauty, the source of all evil, is played by Rie Kugimiya, known for her role as "Kugyu." Kugimiya's distinctive voice is instantly recognizable, as seen in roles such as Shana, the protagonist of "Shakugan no Shana," Nagisa Sanzenin of "Hayate the Combat Butler!", and Kagura of "Gintama."
Tiroriro, Lilili, and Lu
Yukiyo Fujii plays Tiroriro, Lilili, and Lu, the leader of the elves. Perhaps her most memorable role is Tazuna Sunakawa in the wildly popular mobile game "Uma Musume." For gamers, this is a voice they probably hear countless times every day (lol).
"An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World" Author, Production Company, and Voice Actors Summary
So far, we've introduced the author, production company, and voice actors of "An Old Man Reincarnated as a Beautiful Girl in Another World." What did you think? It's a bit strange to think that they created this romantic comedy about a married couple, two middle-aged men... (lol). Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
