One of the many nice things about the recently premiered rom-com anime series A Couple of Cuckoos (aka Kakkou no Iinazuke in Japanese) are the voice actors.
Actors like Akari Kitou who plays Erika, and Kaito Ishikawa who voices Nagi.
Just about my favorite actor in the series, however, is the actress who voices Sachi Umino — Nagi’s non-biological sister, and the biological sister of Erika.
An actress who has not yet been featured in very many scenes, but hopefully that will change.
Because, come on, her husky voice is so darned cute, and the way she portrays teenage angst is adorable.
So, who voices Sachi Umino in A Couple of Cuckoos? And is she an actress you will have heard in many other popular anime series?
