Kusunoki Tomori comments

Q1. Please share your impressions of the original work, your thoughts on playing this role, and any other aspirations you have for the future.
>Kusunoki-san is a bit of a wallflower but also has an upbeat side—her expressions change so quickly that you can’t help but keep your eyes on her.
>Starting with her relationship with Shizuki-kun, I’m playing the role while cherishing her cuteness and sincerity, even as I feel like I’m turning to ash in the face of her pure innocence!

Q2. Is there anything you’d like to “make your debut at” right now?
>I just got my driver’s license recently… but the day I can make my debut on the Metropolitan Expressway still seems far off… It’s scary.

Uemura Yūto comments

Q1. Please share your impressions of the original work, your thoughts on playing this role, and any other aspirations you have for the future.
>Shizuki’s kindness—his desire to spend hishigh school days peacefully yet his inability to just leave Kusunoki alone—is truly endearing. I’m focusing on maintaining a natural, high-school-like atmosphere while striking a balance between serious scenes and comedic moments. I’m looking forward to seeing these charming characters in action.

Q2. Is there anything you’d like to “make your debut at” right now?
>I love eating bread every day, and I’ve finally started thinking about getting a home bread maker. I’d love to have a wonderful morning where I wake up to the rich aroma of freshly baked bread… If I end up making too much, I’ll bring some to the set.

Either Kusunoki will save her by accident (judo throw), or Moe (football in the literal sense), or maybe Irie (udder suffocation). Keisuke could just vomit him to death, but he's no little girl.
>>
Is there even enough material for a season to adept? There is little no progress concerning romance and the entire school festival is about Kusunoki making friends and even that is like 1 episode worth at most.

I know being a talentless hack is a requirement for a romcom writer but i didn't think a retard who would write their two main leads as in love with each other from the get go would still insist that their story is a harem.

Isn't that the standard pattern for romcoms? Unless the harem decides to gang up on the MC, the obvious heroine has to win the deathmatch against the rest.
>>
>>289586009
Snekfags are the only thing this manga has, Kusonokifags are people who like shit garbage characters like Asia Argento or Pink Moka. Nobody likes these characters and nobody knows why they exist but you got a handful of faggots who like them.
>>
>>289586301
It's rarely if ever this obvious if the story claims itself to be a harem. This shit has it locked down like at chapter 5 for male lead and 20 for female lead. This is as mono as it gets. That's why people are now wondering how the author will pivot because it looks like she sorta understood lately that snake is carrying HARD and story has nothing else going for it. If she has no chance, there is no story to tell. One word from Kusunoki and they are dating. And she is almost there already.
>>
>>289586405
You don't quite understand what harem genre means, do you?
>>
>>289586424
Do you?

>>289586009
Anime onlies are always way more boring than manga readers, they're all gonna be super Kusunoki fans, especially since Snake's best moments are later on. I remember anime onlies for Bokuben were mostly Fumino fans despite Sensei being vastly more popular among manga fans.
>>
>>289586501
Well, Sensei was shit, so it's a rare case when anime onlies had somewhat of a decent taste.
>>
>>289586207
>>
>>289586405
In think author gave that one "harem?" statement rather jokingly and it is pretty transparent that she knows that the antagonist is rather popular of why does end every volume with a chapter that is basically a shiny object for a cat? I guess there only a few plot points and obstacles left that can be used to postpone the inevitable. But I still don't hate it as much as you do.

I'm a tomboy lover who frequently falls for the side girl but I cannot believe anyone truly likes Otobe over Snake and Kusunoki. She's such a forced character and only now does it feel like she has a role in the story and that is for Kusunoki to have a conflict over her love for Keisuke. Otobe is pretty boring herself.

>>
>>289586405
snek is an antagonist, the mangaka does not need to 'pivot' in any way whatsoever. All that matters is Hebi causes character development for Keisuke and Shizuka. I like Snek the most too but snekfags are retarded if they think she has any chance or that the mangaka needs to write the story around her just because of her popularity.
This manga got an anime and snek isn't even in the PV. She is not required to get people to care about the story, if she was as important as you guys think they'd be advertising the anime with her nonstop, we don't even have her seiyuu or character sheet.

Even as someone who thinks snake carries the story single handedly, i think there is no way for anyone but Kusunoki to win. Author's own disbelief of her popularity is evidence enough and two leads are already in love. We are just waiting for kusunoki's autism to catch up.

I dropped this manga because the focus kept shifting more and more toward Hebikawa, why I really can't stand. But it seems most people like her a lot, so at least the snekfags will be happy with an anime adaptation. Personally she's not for me, but I'm happy for you guys.
>>
>>289603766
Hebikawa is the more interesting character, sadly.

>>289603766
Mentally ill scatfags found a pile of shit that appeals to them, so all the mentally ill scatfags gathered around to feast on their pile of shit called Hebikawa and are convinced that she's the greatest. It's like how NTRfags think they're the most popular thing ever when in reality it's a small minority of moneysense poor retards paying for non-stop TLs and commissions while everybody looks on in disgust.
>>
>>289603782
All the more reason that I don't regret dropping it. If a series handles its main heroine poorly and instead shifts focus to a character who reads as bordering on a remorseless sociopath, that's not a series I want to read. I wanted to read a romcom with some drama about a pinkshit girlfailure finding her place and falling for the MC, but that was apparently a false bill of sales. It gives me Maruto vibes, albeit not quite as hackish and deliberately emotionally manipulative. But I fucking hate Fumiaki Maruto, so anything the makes me feel like I'm reading something he would have written is an instant drop.
>>
>another harem series
>main girl in the title
I'm not coming on this ride, I know how it ends. It starts with me liking a girl whose name isn't in the title, her getting all the good development, her having better chemistry, and the main girl doing fucking nothing for 3+ seasons; leaving me seething when the end happens.

I'm perfectly fine with drama. In fact, I prefer series that have and/or focus on it over those that don't. What I don't appreciate is drama that exists solely for the sake of basar shock value and emotional bait; which is the way Maruto employs it in virtually everything he's ever written. It's cheap, lazy, and something anyone could easily do to generate interest if they have no integrity as a storyteller. My favorite manga of all time is pretty much just miserable drama from start to finish. But it never needed to pretend to be something it's not to generate interest. It presented itself as exactly what it was from the start. It didn't need to bait it's audience into getting invested in a fun, light-hearted premise, only to pull the rug out from undernearh them because it was written by someone who's obsessed with low-brow shock content and doesn't have the balls, nor the talent, to commit to writing a drama that presents itself honestly. And you know, that might actually be the saddest part. Fumiaki Maruto might not have to talent to write good drama, but he's actually really good at writing light-hearted, comedic stories. It's too bad he doesn't stick to what he's actually good at, but I guess he's just a miserable hack with a weird osananajimi vendetta that needs to vent by way of his shitty, emotionally manipulative writing.

It's not surprising at all. I've read more of that manga than I care to admit, but it's the lowest order of dogshit junk food. It would be a lot more fun if the protagonist weren't a pathetic, impotent loser, but unfortunately that's all that he is. All in all, Kuzuhana-chan is an encapsulation of the all of the worst aspects of bad harem manga, played completely straight and without a hint if irony. It would have been so much better as a mono romcom.

No, the kanji cannot normally be read as "Ririsa". This is just a common method of adding double meaning, known as gikun.

So instead of a longer title like "2.D Dimensional Seductive Ririsa" the author just used gikun to convey what kind of character Ririsa/Lilysa is.

Even before that though, the way MC fears her, the suspense of when she'll recognize him and what she'll do, her interest in Kusunoki and hints at being less evil once, are all more interesting than what Kusunoki and Keisuke have going on at the time. Plus she's visually striking and has some great ENTER scenes.

now that i re-read earlier chapters that will get into the anime, i ended up not liking it as much. i also start to worry if the school festival can make it into 1 season except there's gonna be some cut content in the middle. can't believe it took like 5 successive chapters just the introduction of moe to her suddenly gaining feeling to shizuki, and there's no hebi during that time.

The one point in her favour would be Kusunoki being staunchly anti-romance for the first half of the series, so the audience might think that she isn't interested in MC romantically and might ship him with Hebi instead.
>>289621914
I did too and I feel like Moe is a pretty weak character, and until now in the manga where her crush on Keisuke has an actual point in the story instead of just increasing the heroine count, she felt unnecessary. At least now her role is for Kusunoki to feel conflicted over her love for Keisuke as she doesn't want her past to repeat.
>>
>>289621984
hebi really got done dirty by the mangaka imo, if you're seeing with the context of the book release, she's always written in the latter half of the book so the author can justify putting her in the bonus chapter.
>vol 8 was about the outcome from accidentally kissing kusunoki, dating with otobe, shrine visit with kusunoki, then kusunoki mulling about what she truly feels about shizuki and the valentine choco and the white day, before the story moved into Hebi dealing with the mom's bf again
>vol 7 was about otobe doubting why she liked shizuki in the first place, kusunoki's past, shizuki visiting sick kusunoki, before the story moved into shizuki with an afterschool date with hebi
>vol 6 was still covering cultural festival, befores shoddily moving into hebi trying to steal shizuki's heart but shizuki saw through it.
the fact she ends up being the most popular heroine is just fascinating
>>
>>289621984
I thought we were talking about which girl anime-onlies on /a/ would like more, not necessarily ship with MC, and not outside /a/. On /a/ I think evil woman enjoyers easily outnumber pink moeblob enjoyers.
>>
>>289622111
I'm going by Mangadex comment section for Hebi's reception and you can see how much the general audience hated her for a long time before the tides shifted and she became the most popular character, there are still people who absolutely despise her but in general her change from widely hated to beloved, everywhere even, the author's twitter poll which had the Japanese audience, /a/, MDdex, Reddit is fascinating, especially since the author didn't change her character, only explored it more and didn't assassinate the characters of MC and Kusunoki either.

MC himself is far more interesting when interacting with Hebi than he ever is with Kusunoki.
>>
>>289622111
vol 5 was probably the first time where Hebi had some decent exposure, from her past thinking being an idol had to be perfect until the same idol got caught for underage drinking and smoking and realizing everyone had their dark side so kusunoki should too, then the time when she almost got caught by the mom's bf until shizuki intervened, and the book ended with shizuki buying her a cake.

Of all the reductionism concerning the series this will always be the funniest one.
Do you guys not realize that all the "mistreatment" is due to how Hebikawa is objectively in the wrong in the narrative? From her motivation to her behavior. Of course the story won't validate her choices, that's not the kind of the theme the author is going for. No wonder some of you kept on begging for Kusunoki to have a dark side.

>>289623047
Have you ever considered that being right in the narrative is what makes characters boring to other people? We ask for Kusunoki to have a darker side because she is so one-dimensional and primitive that it's hard to give a fuck about her story.
>>
>>289623223
If you think she needs a darker side then you completely misunderstand her character. Which is funny since you think she's one-dimensional.
>>
>>289623047
Ok, but that anon is still right that Snek often tends to vanish until it's time for a new volume
>>
>>289623047
i think you misunderstood my analysis

>>289623268
this got it right
>>
>>289623244
If you think there is anything to misunderstand about her, you're just plain stupid.

>>289623268
Not really. She has chapters in the main volumes just like everyone else.

Anon isn't talking about her narrative role, he's talking about Snek's chapters being in the latter half of a volume and one of her chapter always being volume exclusive. As for whether this is a problem, I do not know.
>>
>>289623517
Chapters 23 and 24 are in the start of volume 4 so the idea that she's always in the second half to get the bonus chapter is just false. That's just how the author's storytelling goes, there is nothing deeper about it.
Anyhow, if people want to believe so then there is no use arguing about it. To each their own. Just wish the discussion was centered more on the story since I think this is one of the most tight ones out there.

i did say she tended to just disappear in the middle, i provided the proof in vol 6-8 and i acknowledged she did have more time in vol 5 but by the end for someone her popularity the author hasn't written more about her and for reasons unknown it's always at the back of the manga
>>
>>289623181
We already had a preview for his reaction.
>>
>>289623895
Her most important chapter was at the start of volume 4. It make sense that when a character gets the spotlight for a few chapters the other ones gets it afterward, that's how it works.
The author writes what she likes. And it's obvious by the fact that there is no hard pivot in the narrative to force a direction or quota of presence in the volume. In the end, none of us are privy to her motivations so it's a matter of seeing what you want to see.
>>
>>289624017
and I, as the reader, can criticize why the needs to focus on Otobe in the middle of each vol beyond the wishy-washy aspect of Kusunoki while Hebi as always is being treated just for the bonus chapter. it's just noticing pattern.

>>289624214
Because Moe is a precious character and deserves a spot just like everyone else. Personal bias holds no bearings on that.

>>289625089
Yeah, their whole background is that he was all derederefuwafuwa about her until she dropped the mask and annihilated him on a whim. As featherweight as this manga is, the protag who's allergic to women and the spiteful bitch both have believably human backstories and motivation. He's constantly on guard, and she's on the back foot because her usual social manipulation doesn't work. It's why their dynamic has basically taken over the story.

>>289626141
Eh, sure they would. It's not like anything will happen, someone will save her.

The cast information for the TV anime "Kusunoki-san Failed at High School Debut" has been released, and Tomori Kusunoki has been cast as the heroine, Shizuka Kusunoki. However, immediately after the announcement, this casting has been met with extremely critical scrutiny on the internet.
The reason is obvious. The heroine and the actress share the exact same last name, a casting choice that intentionally conflates the voice actress and the character. If the production team was hoping to create a positive synergy by linking the actress and the character, then that strategy has completely failed. Considering Tomori Kusunoki's current situation, this can only be seen as a publicity stunt to generate controversy.
If we work backward from the anime's production schedule, it's likely that this casting was decided before Tomori Kusunoki's marriage announcement. She was cast as the heroine in a romantic comedy set in high school, and knowing that there was a meta-narrative device involving the overlapping of their last names, she still went out of her way to publicly announce her relationship from her student days (high school). Participating in a work that blurs the line between voice actor and character, and then disclosing her own high school romance, she must have easily foreseen that the two would be conflated and the work would be consumed as a joke.
>>
Furthermore, right up until the announcement of her marriage, she engaged in fundraising activities such as getting fans to buy multiple copies of a wide range of expensive merchandise through autograph sales. After continuing to exploit fans, she revealed the fact that she had been in a relationship with someone since her student days, and without any prior notice or explanation, she abandoned her main job of voice recording and disappeared for a three-month long hiatus. Despite causing the voice acting for some of the works she was in charge of not being implemented due to her hiatus, she did not apologize upon her return, only retrospectively reporting that the hiatus was a period of recharging to get a driver's license and enjoy spending time with friends.
With these dishonest actions piling up, it's difficult for viewers to purely enjoy the story when she plays a girl struggling with a failed high school debut. It's easy to imagine that the real Tomori Kusunoki, far from failing at her high school debut, achieved complete success and was enjoying sexual relations with one man. Behind the anime heroine, there's a strong, lingering noise—a married woman who secretly continued a relationship since high school, running a money-making scheme by selling autographs, and abandoning her main job to enjoy a break whenever it was inconvenient—along with her surname. Tomori Kusunoki's actions and words lack any sense of professionalism, as she seems completely unaware of how her behavior affects the work and the character.
>>
Having taken on the role of a character with the same last name, she will likely offer her lips to a cold, still microphone during the day and to a pulsating stand microphone at night. The lips that deliver innocent, pure lines to anime fans around the world may, as the night deepens, resonate with a seasoned tone tuned over many years to suit one person. If she has been sharing her body with someone like this since high school, then we can no longer possibly conflate Tomori Kusunoki and Shizuka Kusunoki.

Sometimes Japanese/Korean/Chinese fans scare me with their insanity
>>
Even now, there are still countless people who stop thinking critically and repeat statements like, "It's not a big deal," or "She's being criticized just for getting married," regarding the situation surrounding Tomori Kusunoki. However, if you compare the number of impressions over the past few months, I have gathered tens of times more than Tomori Kusunoki herself, and the reality is that I have more influence than her, at least on X at the moment. No matter how much I go viral, the replies and quotes are never filled with defenses like, "She's being criticized just for getting married." Those who still keep saying that are simply people who can't even properly read a sentence of three lines or more. As a small act of kindness to all of you who can't help but stick your noses into this ignorant territory despite lacking the intelligence to properly understand the context, I would like to summarize once again why she continues to be a subject of such intense controversy.
>>
Tomori Kusunoki suddenly stopped working for three months starting in January 2026 without any prior announcement of a hiatus. The impact of this period of absence was significant; for example, in "Project Sekai," voice recording itself was delayed, resulting in new character pickups and new storylines being implemented without voice acting. Also, at important events for "Heavenburns Red" and "Chainsaw Man," she was the only one absent while the other main cast members were present. Until just before her marriage, she had been promoting herself as an idol targeting enthusiastic fans, employing a money-making method that involved selling large quantities of expensive and bizarre merchandise through methods such as autograph sales. However, there is evidence that this hiatus had already been planned as early as October of last year, so it does not seem that she suddenly went on hiatus due to the backlash surrounding her money-making methods or her marriage announcement. At her solo live performance just before her hiatus, she was seen singing and jumping around energetically for two hours, so it is unlikely that she had any health problems. Her three-month absence from work without any explanation caused considerable anxiety among fans of many of her works.
>>
However, perhaps due to the shameful reason of taking a break to recharge, she continued to hide the fact that she was on hiatus. According to statements made on her personal radio show, she initially intended to keep it a secret, assuming that no one would find out. Her attitude of prioritizing her own freedom and refusing to explain, even while causing actual damage to her work, shows a lack of pride as a professional in the arts. What should have been done first upon her return was not to report on her leisure activities, but to apologize for causing trouble for her work and to express gratitude to those who had waited for her. However, the first thing she did upon her return was neither an apology nor gratitude, but to continue her usual idol-like marketing by releasing new visuals and promoting new personal merchandise. She has repeatedly engaged in dishonest behavior that disregards her fans and those involved, and the embers of the controversy she brought upon herself continue to smolder.
>>
In January, the overwhelming majority of opinions boasted that only a few people were angry and that there was no damage. But what happened to the numbers afterward? Just two years ago, she was drawing 3,000 people to her solo concerts in Tokyo and Osaka, but this year's concerts, despite being held in venues with a capacity of only 300 people, still have unsold tickets on the Billboard Live official website in both Yokohama and Osaka, even two months after tickets went on sale on a first-come, first-served basis. The record that she sold at her concerts before her marriage on a non-refundable basis has only sold a total of 315 copies, presumably because there were no reservations after her marriage. Even when she held autograph sessions and events to promote the record release, there were no people who were turned away, and only about 60 people showed up in Tokyo and about 25 in Osaka. Even when she streamed an online autograph session on YouTube, the number of simultaneous viewers was only about 170, and the latest episode of her Nico Nico Live broadcast had only around 200 viewers. These are all numbers that make it hard to believe that she was drawing 3,000 people to her concerts just two years ago.
>>
>>289625989
Since Moe was introduce only a few chapters later, it was another indicator that Kusunoki just pretended to be retarded all the time in order to fit in. But I guess the author missed that opportunity.

Part of me wishes Moe would just go for it and make a move on Keisuke. Shove his dumb ass down and kiss him or something. She’s constantly fretting over being seen as a little kid and Keisuke treats her nicely but clearly doesn’t harbor the same feeling as he does for Kusunoki or Hebikawa. She needs to make the first move because otherwise nothing is ever going to happen for her

>>289642439
She's done way more than anyone else and done stealth dates with him, but of course he doesn't see her that way. Moe is written only to suffer and make the other 2 jealous.

i wonder what will happen beyond this arc because i'd just assume hebi and mom's bf fiasco should be done after the next chapter.
with the manga not ashamed to just jump forward timing-wise when nothing much happen (for example, Hebi's birthday was in chapter 36 so it was back in 8th October, and until chapter 46 it was still in October, then chapter 51 was New year, chapter 52 was Valentine so 14th February, then chapter 54 was White Day so 14th March)

nothing, it should be ignored. it's painfully unremarkable

Slow release schedule.

Do you think Snek Mom would try her luck with Snek bf?

>and then Snek was threatened to be molested by her shitty mom's BF!
>for the fourth time!
there's nothing in this garbage that warrants a slow release schedule

That's page 1 of the manga, btw. The MC then trains himself to pass as a normalfag before he starts high school, but then bumps into snake girl again (who doesn't recognize him) and lives in fear of having his old identity exposed.

I imagine Keisuke or Kusunoki will save her after rapeman had a little fun. After that you can either make Hebi go all in with her insanity towards Kusunoki or give her a comparable trauma like Keisuke (convenient way for her to disappear until the end of the volume). Other scenarios are too dark for this series and the author won't go that way imho.

She doesn't have the guts to do that unless she has a fever.

For 2nd year i want Hebi, Irie and Moe to be in the same class with Shizuki while Kusunoki is the only one alone with no friends in her new class

Is it too much to ask sincerity in this series and have Moe win?

>>289630031
Athleticism =/= being stronger
>>
>>289642254
If it ever feels like that it's because of the release schedule. Personally I don't feel it's dragging, there is a slow march with every new chapter. With each character either learning something new or showcasing a change in dynamic.
>>
>>289645388
There are many stable romcom tropes left that can still be used as an arc, like a school trip. And we still have two years if we are going to follow them throughout their entire high school life.
The journey is still long so better strap in.
>>
>>289650542
>>
>>289651119
Nope. It's only sincere if Kusunoki, his true love, wins.

She knocked him out in a single shot, a guy like thrice her size.
>>
>>289652119
You can get knocked out from a good hit in the head even if the other person was weaker than you.
And stop saying he was three times her size. Dude was barely bigger than Keisuke.
