Rei Ichinomiya is set to voice Yoi Takaguchi, while Ryouta Suzuki is set to voice Kohaku Ichimura.

Here's what the two voice actors had to say about In the Clear Moonlit Dusk anime (translated by Google):

"It was a work filled with the sweet and sour flavor unique to first love, and I felt my heart tighten," said Rei Ichinomiya

"The moment when you are interested in or suspicious of the other person, and the process of looking at what kind of person you are, is natural and empathetic," said Ryouta Suzuki.

Yoi Takaguchi will be Rei Ichinomiya's first big role, with her previous works being small voice cast roles in Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster! and Duel Masters LOST Tsuioku no Suishō. Meanwhile, Ryouta Suzuki has previously voiced Junichi Wanima in Blue Lock, Ryuusui Nanami in Dr. Stone, and Yamada Asaemon Shugen in Hell's Paradise.
