Main Character Information, Illustrations, and Cast Comments

[Yū Yang: CV. Yuki Inoue]

I'm Yuki Inoue, voicing Yū Yang.

This is such a delicate story that it's incredibly difficult to put into words.

I've spent every day striving to truly embody Yū Yang's emotions and inner world.

In everyday life, there's what's visible on the surface and what's moving beneath.

Harsh realities we want to look away from, and painful pasts we wish to forget.

This is a story about real college students, carrying burdens, struggling, and living day by day.

I've poured every emotion and feeling I have into this performance.

I hope something resonates with you through this story.

※Character Introduction※

Second-year student in the Design Department at Kato University.

Sociable and approachable, with wide-ranging friendships across seniors and juniors.

Due to past experiences, he avoids letting others into his inner world.

[Lī Fān: CV. Ryōta Suzuki]

I'm Ryōta Suzuki, voicing Lī Fān.

This work delicately portrays the characters and their relationships, creating a calm atmosphere while deeply moving the heart.

I aim to carefully portray the purity within the quiet and cool Lī Fān.

And the determination and strong emotions that arise from that purity.

Please also pay attention to the visual beauty and music.

Thank you for your support!!

※Character Introduction※

First-year student in the Design Department at Kato University.

Due to his quiet and expressionless nature, he has often been misunderstood since childhood.

His encounter with Yū Yang becomes the catalyst for emotional change.

Main Staff Comments

[Director: Tomoe Makino]

Reading the original, I was struck by how difficult life can become simply because the person you fall for is of the same gender.

I hope Yū Yang's words and actions, born from his struggles and reflections, leave an impression on someone and spark even a small moment of reflection, as they did for me.

[Series Composition: Manaki Kawamura]

When I read this work, I felt it was one that truly conveys 'emotional connection'.

I was reminded that even things we can't do alone become possible when someone we're emotionally connected to offers trust and reassurance, turning into the courage to take that first step.

I believe this is a warm story about finding such meaningful connections.

I am honored to be involved as a scriptwriter for the heartwarming 'Here U Are'.

I hope everyone enjoys it.

[Character Design: Asami Hayakawa]

I am truly delighted to be able to deliver the ordinary yet profound reality of people loving people through this work.

Though I have many shortcomings, I will do my best alongside everyone involved.

Thank you for your support.

[Music: Shinya Kiyozuka]

I've tried to express the charming and expressive characters of 'Here U Are' through a variety of tones and genres.

Please enjoy performances by world-class musicians and the uniquely Asian emotional quality of 'melancholy'.

Of course, the piano sound is also featured!

Creator D-kun's Congratulations and Commemorative Illustration

[Original Creator: D-kun]

I never imagined it would be adapted into an anime,

so when I first heard the news, I was overjoyed—this day has finally come!

Being able to see the characters move and speak is truly a happiness.

I hope readers will enjoy it as well.
