Maynard (voiced by Daishi Kajita)
Arthur's older stepbrother, who resents his younger sibling's success. He frequently sends assassins, including Noah, to eliminate him.
■ CAST COMMENTS
Yūichirō Umehara (Roy)
Q1. What do you find appealing about this series?
The charming art style paired with its slapstick comedy is a delightful mix. Every character has something lovable about them. Viewers will likely find themselves rooting for Marie and Arthur as they gradually grow closer despite their awkwardness.
Q2. How do you approach playing Roy?
Roy is fiercely loyal to Arthur and has always been his protector. He's highly competent, but occasionally shows a clumsy side. While he's generally serious, I'm looking forward to playing up those comedic moments with full energy.
Daishi Kajita (Maynard)
Q1. What makes this series stand out to you?
It's all about the romance between Marie and Arthur! A mechanical maid—pretending?! And it actually works?! You'll constantly want to know what happens next. Their slightly offbeat dynamic is incredibly sweet and compelling.
Q2. How do you feel about voicing Maynard?
Maynard is... very loud and lively. He's incredibly devoted to his little brother—yes, devoted (and I can't stress that enough)! I truly love him as a character. I'll give it my all while imagining the audience's reactions. I absolutely love this role!
