Yoshino Aoyama voicing scheming cousin is perfect—her range from Bocchi's anxiety to Miwa's elegance suits a character constantly plotting overthrow. Doppelganger mimicking humans sounds creepy fun; the death legend combined with supernatural comedy creates entertaining tension. Cousin plotting to overthrow creates comedy potential; Shurako's attempts to usurp Mechako promise rivalry-based humor. Six times vulnerability to spirits is unique premise—the protagonist being exceptionally susceptible to supernatural phenomena drives the story naturally.

Two new faces (and voices!) are joining the upcoming adaptation of supernatural comedy Let's Go Kaikigumi. New character art has also been released for both cast additions.

The Story

The story of Let's Go Kaikigumi follows a nameless protagonist who is six times more vulnerable to spiritual phenomena than the average human being. One day, the protagonist encounters Mechako, a mysterious girl who runs the Kaikigumi, an organization that polices the behavior of the ghosts and monsters that threaten human beings, and he somehow gets roped into helping the Kaikigumi re-establish itself, resulting in all sorts of strange events and spooky shenanigans.
