Recently, Sentai Filmworks has been counting down to the release of the official "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun" English dub with preview trailers of the new voice cast members. The most recent trailer, available to view below, previews English dub actress Juliet Simmons as Chiyo Sakura.
The "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun" English dub will be released on Blu-ray/DVD on March 29.
In a surprise turn of events, actress Juliet Simmons left a comment on the new preview trailer, making fun of her faces during recording.
"OMG I HAD NO IDEA I MADE SO MANY INSANE FACES IN THE BOOTH. But seriously, being cast in one of my favorite anime has been surreal. I'm so very thankful for the opportunity and I can die happy now. Pls bury me bye," Simmons on YouTube.
Anime News Network reports that previously announced "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun" English dub voice cast includes Ty Mahany as Nozaki, Scott Gibbs as Mikoto Mikoshiba, and Monica Rial as Yu Kashima.
The "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun" English dub will be included on the Blu-ray/DVD release for the series. Sentai Filmworks has confirmed that there will be a limited edition Blu-ray/DVD bundle that will include a limited edition chipboard box, a DVD/Blu-ray combo that includes episodes 1-12 and the "Nozaki-kun" shorts, the official soundtrack, stickers, a poster, and a special booklet that includes many interviews with the cast and staff of the series.
For those who are not familiar with the series, "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun" was originally a manga series by Izumi Tsubaki. Sentai Filmworks describes the story as follows:
"It's the age-old tale: the girl is into a guy that barely knows she exists. While all Chiyo can think about is Nozaki, all he cares about is his manga deadline looming over his head. But when Chiyo attempts to confess to Nozaki, a bit of confusion causes her to instead become his assistant!"
It goes on:
"As Chiyo reluctantly agrees to lend a hand she discovers Nozaki isn't just any manga author, he's the famous Yumeno Sakiko who writes one of the most popular shoujo manga of all time."
