As a huge Miyu Tomita fan, this year could not have been better when it comes to the number of series the Japanese voice actress has starred in.
Especially as, along with her roles in A Certain Scientific Railgun T, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, Talentless Nana and Iwa-Kakeru! -Sport Climbing Girls, it has also just been announced Miyu Tomita is starring in Otherside Picnic — the upcoming yuri sci-fi anime series based on the novel series by Iori Miyazawa.
As if that news wasn’t good enough, another talented voice actress has also been announced as playing one of the main characters in Otherside Picnic.
That actress is the superb Rina Hidaka, also known for her roles in A Certain Scientific Railgun T, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, The Rising of the Shield Hero, Ms Vampire who Lives in My Neighborhood and Isekai Quartet 2.
Miyu Tomita will play the role of Akari Seto in Otherside Picnic, a university freshman who is a karate expert and a friend of protagonist Sorao.
Rina Hidaka is playing Kozakura, an ‘Otherside’ researcher whose university friend, Satsuki Uruma, went missing in mysterious circumstances.
The two women join Yumiri Hanamori (Grimoire of Zero, Laid-Back Camp) and Ai Kayano (Sword Art Online: Alicization, Smile Down the Runway), who will be the voices of the two main characters Sarao Kamikoshi and Toriko Nishina.
