Full comments from the cast are as follows Ryota Osaka (playing the role of Asa Kashiwagi) What was your impression when you first came into contact with the work? To be honest, the first thing I did was ask the directors what kind of story this was. I think the story is that confusing at first sight. I don't mean that in a bad way. I just think it is a bit chaotic. About the character you play Asa is basically a student who is not very motivated or thinks it is best to live in peace. He is just a poor guy who gets caught up in a group of girls and gets hurt badly. Foreign Language for those who are looking forward to the broadcast To be honest, you will probably be confused when you first see the first episode, but you will be convinced as you watch the rest of the story, so I hope you will not hesitate and enjoy listening to the episode. [Miki Ito (Izumisawa Aioi) What was your impression when you first came into contact with the work? It's aggressive and funny and cute with lots of twists and turns! I thought it was going to be a royal road, but then I thought, "That's what it's going to be! I was surprised and had many giggles while reading the script. The storyline and gag scenes were also very thoughtful, and I wanted to give it my all and play my part with all my heart! About the character you play Aio-chan is a bespectacled girl, serious and polite, but sometimes very bold.

Ayana Taketatsu (playing the role of Amelia Irving) What was your impression when you first came into contact with the work? I was excited to read the script of the first episode because it was an original work! The fact that there were scenes that I had seen somewhere before also made my cheeks loose in a huff. The story has cute and charming characters with a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, and I couldn't see what was going to happen next! I look forward to every recording! About the character you play Amelia is an energetic and lovely girl whose expression changes from moment to moment. Since she comes from overseas, she is a little bit poor at writing Japanese. She is learning Kanji characters in a certain way... but what kind of way is it? You'll have to watch the anime to find out! We hope you will warmly watch over Amelia as she tries her best. A word to those of you who are looking forward to the broadcast Whenever I read the scripts, I find myself chuckling and sometimes being surprised, and I am excited to see how the story will unfold. I am always excited to see how things will turn out. There are scenes that give you a sense of déjà vu, as if you've seen them somewhere before... so it might be fun to find out which work they are paying homage to! Riyo Takahashi (Ilya Ilyuhin) What was your impression when you first came into contact with the work? The plot was predictable and unpredictable, and I found myself asking myself, "What is the right way to watch this anime? It was the first episode that made me want to share it with someone right away. I can't wait to see your reactions! About the character you play Ilya Ilyuhin is a healthy and quiet character. He also moves around like a small animal, which gives him a puppy-like impression in my mind. The character design is also very cute in every detail, such as his aho hair and shorts, and I think you will moe him quite a bit. ......! What would you like to say to those who are looking forward to the broadcast? While I would like people to expect what the story will be like since it is completely original, I would also like people to watch this work with an empty head first. Please give us your support until the end, while laughing at each episode and saying, "Hey, hey! Hisako Kanemoto (Actress as Hakumeka Hakumeka) What was your impression of the work when you first came into contact with it? When I read the script for the first episode, I thought this work would be lively and fun with the unique characters surrounding Asa-kun! In fact, I enjoyed myself during the recording sessions and imagined the tension to be even higher than I thought it would be. About the character you play Monfa is a teacher at the school that everyone attends. She has a sharp personality in the classroom and a friendly side that her students adore. She also has good reflexes in spite of her friendly atmosphere. He has a lot of charm. And I love you all! What would you like to say to those who are looking forward to the broadcast?

About the character you play Karin is an energetic, bright, charismatic model! I love the main character, Asa-kun, and the fact that I can't hide my feelings for him is also a charm point.

We are waiting for an extraordinary turn of events, recovering exciting subtitles every time. If you're looking for something different from traditional anime, this is the show for you! And don't miss Karin's offensive love skills! Jun Fukuyama (Yoshio Ijuin) What was your impression when you first came into contact with the work? The main cast members were given a certain amount of explanation, but for some reason, I was told "no explanation" style, so from the very first episode, I faced the script with my head spinning. I could only refer to the "harem" genre no matter how I read it in the first episode, but I was guessing a lot about the setting and foreshadowing based on the dialogue and direction. But even now, after the recording is over, the full scope of the work has not been explained to me. So, it was just not explained to me because I was trying to be efficient in time. About the character you play He is what is called a friend position person. My favorite part is that his last name is "Ijuin. I think his appearance is a little bit cute. I thought that the character had a lot of range, but there were many parts of the character that were surprisingly broad, so I had fun playing the role while adding various ideas. What would you like to say to those who are looking forward to the broadcast? I am looking forward to seeing your impressions of "Love Flops," whether they meet your expectations or not, and as someone who enjoyed the recording and finished it, I can't wait to see the finished product. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (c)Love Flops Project
