Grand Blue Second Season New Cast Members Announced

The official website of the anime adaptation of Inoue Kenji’s Grand Blue manga series has announced three new characters and cast members for the anime’s second season.

• Yamane Aya as Busujima Sakurako

• Morohoshi Sumire as Kitahara Shiori

• Aoyama Yoshino as Otoya Naomi

The site also shared a message from the new cast members:

• Yamane Aya (Busujima Sakurako):
  • “I am Yamane Aya, and I will be playing the role of Busujima Sakurako!
    Every recording session is so much fun that I struggle to keep myself from laughing, and the set is full of the same energy as the anime.
    Outside the recording booth, there are always plenty of drinks, snacks, and merchandise.
    (Of course, everyone only drinks after the recording is finished.)
    I was deeply moved, thinking, ‘What a lively place!’
    I will do my best to deliver the best Sakurako to all the Grand Blue fans! Please look forward to the broadcast! Kanpai!!”

• Morohoshi Sumire (Kitahara Shiori):
  • “My name is Morohoshi Sumire, and I will be playing the role of Kitahara Shiori.
    It was so much fun to join this stimulating,
    laughter-filled team as Shiori.
    I did my best to portray her in a way that fits the atmosphere of the work.
    I hope everyone enjoys it.
    Thank you very much!”

• Aoyama Yoshino (Otoya Naomi):
  • “I will be in charge of voicing Otoya Naomi.
    I’ve heard the legend that ‘Grand Blue is amazing.’
    Still, I never imagined that I would get to jump into that world myself.
    With the passionate energy of my senior cast members, every recording session leaves both my heart and my eardrums buzzing.
    Naomi-kun is refreshing and pure,
    and he takes on the romance part of the rom-com all on his own.
    I would be happy if his cute, cool, straightforward charm would reach many people!”

About Grand Blue:
It has already been three months since Iori Kitahara started college in Izu at the diving shop Grand Blue, where he is staying. He lives under the same roof as his cute cousin, Chisa Kotegawa. His older cousin Nanaka Kotegawa, the irresistibly mature Azusa Hamaoka, and his classmate Aina Yoshiwara have also joined in, making for a smooth, successful, youthful campus life!
Or at least, that’s one side of it. The reality is that most of his college life is spent in wild, drunken madness with a bunch of naked guys!
That’s because the diving club “Peek a Boo” (PaB) that Iori joined treats diving as secondary.
Its true essence is a daily routine of rowdy drinking parties among rugged men who strip naked.[Rewritten from official website]
