Who voices Nanachi in Made in Abyss? One of Japan’s hardest working actresses

Made in Abyss is one of the most popular anime series in recent years.

Its characters are superb, its plot and world building obsessed over, and its animation and art style revered.

The anime’s characters in particular are adored, with Nanachi, the once-human, now Hollow being who was deformed on the sixth layer during one of Bondrewd’s experiments, one of the characters that is the most-loved.
