Kana Ichinose joins Narenare -Cheer for You! cast – Nephelia VA sure is busy this year!

Michelle Topham August 13, 2024

The incredibly talented Japanese voice actress Kana is very busy this year, as it has just been announced she will be voicing yet another character in a Summer, 2024 anime.

This time, Kana Ichinose is joining the cast of the ongoing P.A. Works anime series Narenare -Cheer for You!

Ichinose is voicing new character Mari Aieda, a Takanosaki High School student who has worked hard and is now a member of the A-Team.

She is known for tutoring the younger students in both cheering and in their school work, and works as a practice assistant.

Mari will first be seen in Episode 7 , which will begin streaming on Sunday.

A photo of Kana Ichinose and a character design of Mari Aieda were released on the anime’s official website earlier today.

Kana Ichinose, of course, is known for voicing many iconic anime characters since her career began in 2018.

Those include Nephelia in the recently-ended An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride, Mito in Vampire Dormitory,  Rinne in the ongoing Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?, Yuzuriha in Dr. Stone, Fern in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Suletta in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, and Sayu in Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway.

Narenare -Cheer for you!, which is sadly being rated poorly by international anime fans (the art style is beautiful and the anime is sweet and relaxing), is being directed by Koudai Kakimoto.

He is also in charge of the anime’s scripts and series composition.

Character designs are from Kanamai Sekiguchi (Shirobako).

The aforementioned P.A. Works (Mayonaka Punch) is in charge of anime production for the cute girls doing cute things anime.
