You wouldn't say that if you read the manga or read what the male lead personality is like.
Eh maybe. Just looking at his pictures on the manga's MAL page, I could see it working though. Haru from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun had a sort of high-ish "juvenile" sounding voice, and they look similar. Idk about the personality though.

I think Kaji did a good job as an adult in Shin Sekai Yori, and it didn't come off as off-puttingly childish/immature/high pitched.

Hm, sounds like an interesting shoujo. I've never read anything from the author but I guess I can start now.

One of the very few Manga I actually read. This is pretty much Class A shoujo manga. I hope they do a great adaptation to this.

I have a feeling Horie Yui or Toyosaki Aki will be playing Yui's role but not sure who would play Aniki's role or Murao's (Sawashiro Miyuki perhaps?).

I hope they adapt a few more shoujo manga to anime. :)

What? I know you are being sarcastic, but it's pretty damn legit.
It's not legit at all, lol. Not once in the history of the world has someone been ostracized for being cute. It simply doesn't make sense, given the definitions of 'cute' and 'ostracized'. I'm sure it's just a poorly written synopsis, but it still makes the manga/anime seem kind of sketchy.
I think "resented", "envied", or "outcast" would be better words. I haven't read the manga, so I don't actually know, but at least that makes sort of reasonable sense. Especially for middle schoolers.


Yes, those would probably be better words. Those kinds of issues exist, after all.

Which is what I'm hoping for; for him to use the kind of voice he did in SSY, which was pretty mature and all. I know Kaji has really flexible vocal cords, so he can probably do it, but he was the last person I would cast for Kou's role. I'd have expected someone like Yoshimasa Hosoya to do his role to be quite honest.

Haru's voice was deep. Either that or my hearing is messed up.


Male voice for this MC could have been someone else but okay...

I know this is going to be a series and not a movie but hopefully we get some lovely visuals like the ones in Hal.



EDIT: I was talking about Haru from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, because he was mentioned earlier in this thread. Which was me going off-subject, so ignore that.

Anyway, the Haru from Accel World just sounds terrible and a prime example of the mixed reactions people get when they see Kaji Yuki's name pop up.

Ayane 2.0? Only more straightforward.

And I agree with the others, I think it'd better suit Kou if the VA can do those deep brooding 'I don't give a damn' voice but who knows maybe Kaji will surprise us.

Hope they don't screw this adaptation. Narumi..ohohoho...I'm ready.

Is there something wrong with Kaji Yuki's voice?
I know his voice is so pervert xD (Based on his characters)

Well, maybe he's too new for shoujo romance role

Yuki Kaji can actually pull off a deep sexy voice, so I'm not too worried, though I was a little surprised at the choice.

AND YAY OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MANGA TO GET ADAPTED *O*

I'd be curious to see if anyone has an example of Kaji Yuki doing a lower pitched voice as well. Not that he can't do it (maybe this is his chance), but is there any major role that he has done in which he has done a low voice?

Haru...yuki? Surely not the whiny kid from Accel World? Haru...aki? From C3? Not sure I'd call his voice low...

Has he done any other Harus?

I'm confused as to why the main guy is supposed to have a deep voice. Is it just because it's a shoujo? According to his MAL page, he's 5'8", 130 lb, and feminine looking. Not that such features necessarily imply a higher pitched voice, but on the surface he's hardly the paradigm of masculinity.

Yea, judging purely from his appearance/description, Kaji's voice seems like it fits quite nicely.

For those asking for an example of a deeper voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mExhysrXLNA
Even this song has him singing in a deeper voice than you're probably used to, and he's playing a shota character: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvxEw2C5E3I

He was Lyon in Fairy Tail, which is a good example of how he CAN'T pull off a deep sexy voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok_EdpY0mUA

Also he pulled off a low voice in Attack on Titan episode 9, while I like it a lot I am not sure if he can use it for a shoujo series.

His character is supposed to be a manly badass semi-Gary Sue, but one with a boyish side in him which might be why they don't want a Daisuke Ono voice.

I don't know why his looks are even that relevant. Kaiji is not playing him as a live action actor. Most male leads in Shoujo are not masculine in terms of looks.

People are complaining because he doesn't fit Kou personality. He is cold, calm and has the ''I don't care attitude'', he definitely doesn't look like he has a high pitched voice. He is the sarcastic and somewhat cynical type. And he is actually masculine and brash.

Kaiji Yuki voices wimps, weak willed whiny characters, shotas, perverts, passionate loud mouths, character who like to scream etc. He is miscased until proven otherwise.

You will know more when you listen to drama cds and/or play otome games that features KajiKaji more for if he can do deep voice. His voice is actually ... what's the word... various (? what's the better word?). I'm just glad that he is finally doing main role for the anime from Shoujo manga.

I do hope that Miyu-Miyu would get more anime roles in the future, like one of the users mentioned in one of previous pages.

lol

I think personality is less relevant than appearance when talking strictly about voice pitch, but I see your point. Kaiji Yuki probably doesn't fit the bill (and he's kind of annoying, either way). We'll see how this goes.

It warms the cockles of my heart when quality romances are picked up for anime-fication. Not that a lot of quality manga hasn't been neglected off late (Dengeki Daisy anyone?! It's even concluded now!) but this one will definitely find a lot of takers! Excellent news for shoujo fans to start off the year right!

It's also has been in my list for sometime. Never get the chance to read it though. Well I'm with you to stick with the anime. I hope the story is good. Everyone is saying it's good so it must be good right. Keep wondering why I never start reading it XD

Guys, Kaji Yuuki can do deep voices too. I loved his Lyon. Let's hope he's gonna use the deep one. Looking forward to Uchida Maaya's performance!
I'm hoping that the visuals will be at least on par with the manga. I won't expect too much though.
