The only gripe is that Lu never got kind of enough attention. Will be glad if the adaptation fixes this even by a bit, I mean she got a good VA after all lol.

@Tacituskilgor She has a very distinctive and memorable voice, so she plays quite often.

Sakura Ayane is somehow involved in every anime I'm watching recently. I'm not complaining at all though, I love her voice and she's incredibly talented
