Who are the main cast members of The Case Files of Biblia Bookstore?
The two main cast members of the anime are:
- Riko Akechi as Shioriko Shinokawa
Cast comment (machine translated):
I will never forget my first encounter with Shiori-san; it was when I was in the first year of junior high school. Looking to the right from the entrance of the library, there was a rotating bookshelf filled with paperback books. I still remember being captivated by the beautiful profile of a woman I saw through the glass. I felt incredibly fortunate when I was even offered the audition, so the unexpected news of my acceptance was truly a major event for me. I am truly proud to be a part of this work. I will do my utmost, so I hope you will support me.
- Shunsuke Takeuchi as Daisuke Gōra
Cast comment (machine translated):
This series, which has been adapted into various media, has finally been made into an anime! The characters are very realistic, and you'll be drawn into its world. I also really enjoy reading old books, so hearing Shiori's thoughts on books makes me want to read some myself for a while. Go, Daisuke, with your strength and sincerity!
