#New Kageki Shoujo!! Character Trailer Highlights The Sawada Twins

The upcoming Kageki Shoujo!! anime has received a new character trailer highlighting the twins Chika Sawada (Risae Matsuda) and Chiaki Sawada (Satsumi Matsuda). The anime will premiere on July 3.

The Sawadas’ trailer is the sixth character PV so far, with previous trailers highlighting Sarasa Watanabe, Ai Narata, Ayako Yamada, Hoshino Kaoru, and Sawa Sugimoto.

The show is based on the manga by Kumiko Saiki, with Seven Seas Entertainment describing the story as:

Like the Takarazuka Revue, the young women who go to the arts academy Kouka Kageki High School play all the parts of musical theater, be they female or male. Narada Ai is a jaded former idol performing female roles—her roommate, playing male roles, is bright-eyed country girl Watanabe Sarasa. From the school to the stage to the rest of their lives, there is no challenge these young women can’t face with their passion for performance.

The anime’s staff includes Kazuhiro Yoneda (Yona of the Dawn) as director, Tadashi Morishita (Yona of the Dawn) as series composer, Takahiro Kishida (Haikyuu!!) as character designer, Tsuneyoshi Saito (Fafner in the Azure) as music composer, Yasuji Sakagami (Durarara!!) as color designer, Yasuhiro Asagi (Gleipnir) as director of photography, and Hiromichi Tanigawa (The Tatami Galaxy) as art director. Pine Jam is producing the anime, while King Records is producing the music. The three-member band saji will perform the opening theme song “Hoshi no Orchestra” (“Starry Orchestra”).

Aside from the Matsuda sisters, the cast includes Sayaka Senbongi as Sarasa, Yumiri Hanamori as Ai, Sumire Uesaka as Sawa, Yō Taichi as Kaoru, Rico Sasaki as Ayako, and Hiroki Nanami as Sei Satomi. Kana Hanazawa as Hijiri Nojima, Mikako Komatsu as Risa Nakayama, Yuka Terasaki as Akemi Takei, Junichi Suwabe as Mamoru Ando, Kenji Nojima as Taichi Narata, Kengo Takanashi as Akiya Shirakawa, and Takehito Koyasu as Kōsaburō Shirakawa.
