OMG! Didn't know someone does it like me. Whenever I read BL I also imagine who their Seiyuu would be Well in my opinion
Arata
- At first I imagined him with Murase Ayumu's voice but later on the story I figured his voice wouldn't suit him. So I was racking my brain for someone who's kinda have a deep voice since he's serious but sounds good when embarrased. And I somehow ended up with Kobayashi Yuusuke
Shoutarou
- I immediately read his lines with Osaka Ryota's voice in my mind. His voice really captures young shounen especially who are sporty and outgoing
Hase
- Mine would be Nobunaga Shimazaki. His soft voice kinda fits Hase's playful personality.
Sawa
- This we can totally agree that Hosoya-san fits him a 100%!! That sheer manly voice that can get flustered so easily.
But don't get me wrong! Yours is great too!!
I love your picks as well!
I only recently got to know Kobayashi Yuusuke thanks to Fire Force and DCST, so thinking of Arata with his voice WOW that's an eye-opener for sure.
Osaka Ryouta for Shoutarou, I misread that as KimuRyo for some reason but Osaka Ryouta IS a good fit for sporty types
OH NO ZAKKI FOR HASE I LOVE THIS ONE A LOT
I'm glad Hosoyan is a unanimous decision hahaha they're both gentle giants I love that for them
Thanks for sharing your ideas with me! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who reads manga this way
I couldn't help but fan-cast some with the characters, and here are the voices I read the manga in:
Arata
-- Okamoto Nobuhiko
Shoutarou
-- hmm, I'm not really sure yet, I couldn't pinpoint on one, or maybe it's one of those guys I couldn't discern,,,
-- I changed my mind, I read him in Kobayashi Chikahiro's voice
-- Furukawa Makoto for Shoutarou is a close second
Hase
-- this guy initially gave me Asanuma Shintaro, or Sakurai Takahiro vibes
-- but he turned out to be kinda sly and stuff, and there were times he was teasing Sawa a lot, so I read him sometimes in Uchiyama Kouki's voice
-- Miyano Mamoru, who voiced Miya Atsumu, also was a pretty solid contender
Sawayama
-- basketball team member + glasses + mad shooting skills? This guy is definitely a Hosoya Yoshimasa guy (he voiced Hyuuga Junpei from Kuroko no Basuke hehe)
That's about it. If you stumble upon this comment and are familiar with the seiyuus, well, kudos to you! I find it much more fun reading manga with certain seiyuu's voices in mind (⌒▽⌒)
