You and I Are Polar Opposites Trailer RELATED: Classroom of the Elite 2nd Year, You and I Are Polar Opposites and More Anime to Stream on Crunchyroll The cast additions came with character visuals and comments from the actors. Suzuki voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro (Nijika Ijichi in BOCCHI THE ROCK! ) Tani voiced by Shogo Sakata (Karin Sasaki in Fire Force ) Suzuki VA Sayumi Suzushiro commented: I am Sayumi Suzushiro, and I'll be playing the role of Suzuki! When I auditioned for the role, I remember feeling like I was playing myself because there were too many things I could relate to with Suzuki. I'm a huge fan of the original manga, so when I got the role, I was over the moon. How important it is to realize how you truly feel, and how difficult it is to understand it, as well as what it means to truly face the other person…I know you can find many things that will serve us in our daily lives in this show! I will face Tani-kun, who is the polar opposite of Suzuki, sincerely and play Suzuki with care. Thank you! Tani VA Shogo Sakata commented: I am Shogo Sakata, and I will play the role of Tani. I've been reading You and I Are Polar Opposites since it started its serialization on Jump+. As a fan, I thought this was such a wonderful series with its pop taste and fresh, youthful dialogues of the teens while striking great balance of incorporating universal struggles that anyone can experience. I never imagined that I would be involved in such an amazing series, so I was really surprised when I heard that I passed the audition. I think Tani-kun is the type of person who is not very good at the subtleties of human emotions and completes the world on his own. I hope I can express how he changes through meeting Suzuki-san. Thank you for your support. tofubeats said the following about composing the music: I am ecstatic that I got to compose the music for You and I Are Polar Opposites. I've read the series before the offer came, so imagine my surprise when they offered me this job! I created the soundtrack, hoping that the music will root for and cheer up the happy, lively characters in the show as well as the teenagers who live in the 2020s. I had such a great time composing the music, so I hope you enjoy the music of this series too. Kocha Agasawa penned the original You and I Are Polar Opposites manga.
