Yu Shimamura, Eri Kitamura Lead OtoBoku 2 OVA Cast

The production company Frontier Works launched the official website for the Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru 2 ~Futari no Elder~ anime on Thursday and revealed the cast:

Yu Shimamura as Chihaya Kisakinomiya
Eri Kitamura as Kaoruko Nanahara
Sayuri Hara as Fumi Watarai
Risa Kayama as Hatsune Minase
Ayana Taketatsu as Kaori Kamichika
Mana Hirata as Yū Kashiwagi

The website also clarified that the project is an original video anime release. The moca news website had listed it as a television anime.

The Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru 2 ~Futari no Elder~ anime is, like its predecessor, based on an adult visual novel by Caramel Box. The story is set in the same Seio Girl's School as the first game and its spinoffs. A beautiful, silver-haired student named Chihaya Kisakinomiya is transfering into the all-female student body at Seio. The catch is that Chihaya is a boy.

Shinya Kawazura (Durarara!!) is directing the new anime with Michiko Yokote (Genshiken, Squid Girl) in charge of scripts. Keiichi Sano (Heaven's Memo Pad) is designing the characters, and SILVERLINK is in charge of animation production; the first series was animated by Feel.

MangaGamer licensed the original Otoboku (Otome wa Boku ni Koi Shiteiru) game overseas, and Media Blasters released the first 2006 television anime series under the name Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling for Me!
