Tomo-chan Is a Girl! TV Anime Cast Pray for Success at Tokyo’s Suga Shrine
We’re still counting our blessings since the Tomo-chan Is a Girl! anime adaptation was revealed earlier this year, but the voices of Tomo Aizawa and Carol Olston, Rie Takahashi (Takagi in Teasing Master Takagi-san) and Sally Amaki (Sakura in 22/7), are already looking forward by visiting Tokyo’s Suga Shrine together.
Director Hitoshi Nanba provided an illustration for the ena, a wooden tablet that’s hung up at a shrine or temple after a prayer is written on it, on behalf of the staff and cast to pray for the anime to be a big hit.
