The supernatural mystery anime Summertime RenderingĀ is one of the most highly rated series of the Spring 2022 season.
Fans love the beautiful art style, the suspenseful plot, the soundtrack and protagonist Shinpei Ajiro.
Sure, he might sometimes be a little naive, and his inner monologue can be annoying, but he does keep the story interesting and his character is very well-written.
But, it isn’t just the writing that makes Shinpei Ajiro so cool.
It is also the Japanese voice actor that plays him (and yes, I only watch subbed Japanese anime, so can’t comment on his American counterpart).
Who voices Shinpei Ajiro on Summertime RenderingĀ then, you might be asking? And have you heard his acting in many other anime series before?
Oh yes, you most certainly have.
