<New Characters & Cast Announced>
Caroline Ramsey, the heroine of the otome game "Caroline and the Rainbow-Colored Magic Sweets," is voiced by Rina Hidaka; Erin White, a friend of protagonist Pia, by Sora Amamiya; and Erin's fiance Henry Cox by Haruki Ishiya. Comments from the three cast members arrived to commemorate the announcement.
<Caroline Ramsey / Rina Hidaka>
"I'm Rina Hidaka, voicing Caroline Ramsey. This work has so many sweet, heart-fluttering scenes that I couldn't stop grinning even during recording! On top of the 'kyun' moments there's also a mystery-solving element, so I think a great many people will enjoy it. The Caroline I played is the heroine of 'MagiCaro,' the game that protagonist Pia used to play so much. Just how will she get entangled with Pia and the others...!? Please look forward to the broadcast!"
<Erin White / Sora Amamiya>
"The Erin I play is a noble lady who is nonetheless lively and easygoing. She's kind-hearted, a hard worker who diligently practices swordsmanship, and shows a sweet, girlish side to her fiance Henry. The warm, heartwarming conversation scenes between Pia and Erin as best friends are wonderful, so please look forward to them!"
<Henry Cox / Haruki Ishiya>
"I'm Haruki Ishiya, in charge of Henry's voice. Above all he is a cheerful, straightforward character who can't tell a lie. You might think he doesn't think very deeply, but he sees people in his own way, and I feel that's exactly why his relationships work. His relationship with Erin is, personally, my favorite point. 'How cute these two are,' is how it feels. Please look forward to the broadcast for the details! I'm counting on your support!"
<Character Visuals Revealed All at Once>
In addition to protagonist Pia Rockwell and Rufus Stan, character visuals and introduction texts were released for all five characters, including the newly announced Caroline Ramsey, Erin White and Henry Cox.
<Pia Rockwell CV: Miku Ito>
Reincarnated from a diligent graduate student into a background villainess of the otome game "Caroline and the Rainbow-Colored Magic Sweets" (a.k.a. "MagiCaro"). Convinced that following the game's scenario will eventually see her hated by her fiance Rufus and exiled from the country, she becomes a bundle of nerves.
<Rufus Stan CV: Ryota Osaka>
One of the game's capture targets, a cool son of the chancellor. In the game he is drawn to the heroine and abandons his fiancee Pia, but the real Rufus, sensing Pia's circumstances, becomes maximally overprotective, displaying his shrewdness to keep her from worrying.
<Caroline Ramsey CV: Rina Hidaka>
The heroine of the otome game "Caroline and the Rainbow-Colored Magic Sweets." Just as in the game, she approaches the five capture targets and threatens Pia and the other fiancees. She appears to be enjoying the conquest, but a secret lies hidden there...?
<Erin White CV: Sora Amamiya>
In the otome game, a background villainess who, like Pia, is condemned; she is Henry's fiancee. The complete opposite of the timid Pia, she is bright and lively. As the scenario unfolds and Henry is drawn to the heroine, Pia supports the shocked Erin as a friend.
<Henry Cox CV: Haruki Ishiya>
The son of the knight commander and Erin's fiance; one of the game's capture targets. Honest, straightforward and cheerful. Because he is friendly to everyone, he follows the game's scenario and is drawn to the heroine, ending up hurting Erin...
