Cast members:
Kaito Ishikawa as Nagi Umino

He is the biological son of a hotel tycoon, but due to complications after his birth, he was accidentally raised by a different family. He has a crush on his classmate Hiro Segawa and aims to confess to her once he beat her in the school rankings. Kaito seems quite suitable to fill the voice for this character.

A popular Instagram celebrity who is the biological daughter of the family that raised Nagi. She first met him while shooting a video in a park, and made him pretend to be her boyfriend to escape an arranged marriage. Her parents arranged for her to be engaged to Nagi and for them to live together in one house.
After her school found the photos she had taken, she was forced to transfer to Nagi's school. She decided to start an Instagram account to reach out to someone she was looking for. This character seems to be suitable for Akari's voice as well.
