【Kanta Sato's comment】
It's been a long time. I will play Kazuma Kase, a reliable senior of Satori played by Anna Yamada.
Having entered society earlier than others, he is struggling with what choices and actions to take, caught between his own ideals and the existing system. I am honored to be involved in this project in a different way than the previous work.
