TV Anime "Yomi no Tsugai" radiko Original Podcast "Tsugaigatari" Enters Second Cour! Ayumu Murase, Voice of Many Tsugai, Appears as Guest

radiko Inc. (CEO: Takuo Ikeda, Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which provides the free service "radiko" for listening to radio and podcasts on smartphones and computers, announces that as part of its 15th anniversary project, the radiko original podcast "Tsugaigatari" (Official Podcast for the TV Anime "Yomi no Tsugai"), hosted by Kensho Ono (voice of Yuru), will feature Ayumu Murase, who voices Gabriel and many other Tsugai, as a guest for the second consecutive week in its 14th episode, scheduled for release around 6:00 PM on July 9, 2026 (Thu).

"Yomi no Tsugai" is the latest work by Hiromu Arakawa, creator of the masterpiece "Fullmetal Alchemist," which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026 and continues to receive strong support both domestically and internationally. The manga is currently serialized to great acclaim in Monthly "Shonen Gangan" and has surpassed 6 million copies in series cumulative sales. The anime is broadcast every Saturday at 11:30 PM on TOKYO MX, BS11, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, and other stations.

This Episode's Highlights: Ayumu Murase Discusses the Second Cour and His Favorite Tsugai Roles

In this episode, we welcome Ayumu Murase, who voices Gabriel and many other Tsugai, as our guest for the second consecutive week. With hints that Murase's roles will increase further from the second cour, he shares his deep appreciation for the series alongside a recap of episode 13, "Daikyo to Shokyo."

In the listener mail segment, Murase himself answers questions about his favorite Tsugai roles and scenes. He shares his thoughts on the impressive scene where Gabriel protects his master, and reveals his reasons for favoring the "Sa-U" (Right: Rikiya Koyama, Left: Takako Honda) as his "oshi-tsugai" (favorite Tsugai), offering valuable insights only heard here.

Furthermore, the program's regular segment, "Gekai Quiz" (Underworld Quiz), featured listener-submitted explanations of modern items in a way that Yuru could understand. The segment was highly engaging as participants tried to guess what the poetic and unique descriptions referred to.

Episode 14: What are their impressions of Arakawa-sensei? We asked Murase what he focused on while playing his Tsugai roles.
