Yu Shinohara (voice of Puniru):
(Q: What were your thoughts when it was decided that this work would be made into a TV anime and when it was decided that you would be appearing in it?)
From the moment I saw this character, I felt a connection with him!!! So I took on the role with great enthusiasm.
In fact, after the studio audition, I even asked my manager, 'What happened to that project?'
I was really thrilled when I heard it was decided!

(Q: Please tell us your enthusiasm for playing the character Puni.)
'Puniru' is a cute slime. It's really cute. And it can change into various forms.
Cute, amazing, great! I'll do my best to deliver the charm and fun of it to you to the fullest!!

I was so moved and surprised to find out that I could appear in that 'Puniru' anime!
I was also familiar with this manga as it was a popular work, so I was very happy to be able to be involved in its creation.

(Q: Please tell us your enthusiasm for playing the character Kotaro Kawaii.)
I will do my best to enjoy voicing Kotaro, who spends his hectic days with Puniru as an adolescent, sarcastic, and cutesy character! I hope you will enjoy it!

At the supermarket, a couple walking nearby were having a conversation like this: 'What about rice and cold Chinese noodles?' 'That sounds good, but I wonder what she'll say...' 'Maybe she'll forgive you if you change the ham to salad chicken?' 'I see...' And when I realized in the ensuing conversation that the 'girlfriend' was Asuken-nee-san, I just laughed out loud 🤣
