Key visual Uka Ishimori Kana Ichinose Comments from Kana Ichinose (Uka Ishimori): As the title "Honey Lemon Soda" suggests, it is not only sweet, but also as tangy and stimulating as carbonated soda, and I couldn't stop reading the original manga. Uka-chan is a brave and strong-minded girl. I was moved by the way she tries her best to change herself in a direct and positive way. How will Uka-chan change after meeting Miura-kun? Please look forward to the sweet and sour taste that will make you pop! Kai Miura Shogo Yano Comments from Shogo Yano (Kai Miura): When I heard that I passed the audition, I was so happy that I couldn't help but hug my manager. I was a little bewildered because this is a kind of role that I have rarely played, but I read the original manga over and over again, and I was finally determined to play the role of Kai. I am always nervous about each recording session, but as the title suggests, I will do my best to deliver a sweet, fresh, and lively coming-of-age story! Additionally, a special stage event for the TV anime Honey Lemon Soda will be held at “Chao Fes x Ribbon Mirai Festa Girls Comic Fest 2024” in Pacifico Yokohama on August 10 and 11, 2024. Ichinose and the original manga author, Mayu Murata, will make an appearance.
