Senpai Is an Otokonoko is a romance manga/webtoon following Makoto Hanaoka, a high school student who likes dressing cutely despite his mother's disapproval. Saki Aoi, a girl attending the same high school as Makoto, falls in love with him under the belief that he is a girl, and only learns the truth after confessing her feelings for him and getting rejected. Even after finding out, Saki Aoi does not mind what his gender is, and still wishes to become his first love, but he still does not reciprocate her feelings, and worries that she will be seen as odd by associating with a cross-dresser. Ryuji Taiga, a childhood friend of Makoto's, is initially unsure about being with another man, but a love triangle involving the three forms as he warms up to the idea of being in love with Makoto.
This will the a FANDUB of the entire series. I would like this to be somewhat more professional, co-directors will be chosen inside the cast to help with management of the project.
IMPORTAINT:
This project is UNPAID as it is just a FANDUB for fun.
Background noises should be kept to a minimum
All cast and crew members are expected to turn in their lines on time and will receive warnings if not.
Please keep in mind that this anime does touch upon sensitive topics (Keep this in mind and please do not audition if this is too sensitive)
Discord is required in your description, we will be working on this project through a discord server.
I want to extend a thank you to everyone who has auditioned so far. Most of the main cast have been cast, but most minor and support roles will remain open for another 2 weeks. Those who have auditioned but not cast (as of now), I may be in contact with you (through comments) to offer other roles that have not been put out on the casting. More roles will be added soon!
Thank you all for your interest in this project!

Mika Hanaoka is Makoto's mother. As a teenager, she was super into cute things and fashion but this changed once she caught her father dressing up in female clothing and using the hair ribbons and nail polish she threw away. She becomes disgusted in 'feminine' things and stops dressing up cutely. This 'trama' causes her to strongly go against Makoto's liking for cute things
The voice actor of this role may also be asked to voice teenage Mika.

[Devastated - Relieved/Happy] Makoto. Tell me what this is.... I see, so It was Aoi-Chan's hankerchief. I'll wash it so you can return it to her!
[Urging] Makoto... lets buy the black one instead okay? The red one if for girls... we should get the black one for you, see? It even has dinosaurs on it! Don't you like dinosaurs, Makoto?
Saki's Grandmother is the guardian of Saki Aoi, taking care and raising her ever since her mother left. She is a sweet woman that truly cares about her granddaughter, trying to protect her from harsh realities.

[Angry] I told you no! I won't let you go see that woman. I forbid you from talking to her!
A more minor role, appearing throughout the series.
[apologetic] Oh shoot....I forgot today's papers in the teachers office. Can the male student on duty today go and grab it for me please?

[Questioning - disgusted] Hey...Isn't that Hanaoka? I heard that she's actually a guy... gross

Some of these are the students that make fun of Makoto's cross dressing while the majority are Aoi Saki's friends/classmates. If cast, you may be asked to voice supporting characters (Saki's Friends + Makoto's Friends) in the future.

Makoto Hanaoka is one of the 3 leads. Since his early childhood Makoto has loved cute things. Due to his androgynous appearance many other parents would comment on how girly he looked. His mother, being a traditionalist, greatly frowned upon this and tried to curb his interest in cute things and act more like how she viewed a boy to be like. In the end, to hide his love of cute things from his mother, ends up transferring to a new high school where he crossdresses.

[Narrating] Apparently all the cute things in this world were ment for girls - I think there are more or less unusual things about everyone…but I wonder if I’m weirder than other people
[Awkward - Urging] I’m really not the girl you think I am… - [Flustered] I’m…..actually….a guy….
[Monotone with undertones of sadness] - Yes. This was my choice... I want to stop cross dressing and live as a normal guy. So... Aoi-San... will you go out with me?
Ryuji Taiga is one of the 3 leads. He gives off the vibe of someone who is carefree, rebellious and hot headed. Dispite his looks, he's actually at the top of his class. He's know Makoto since childhood, chasing him around with frogs and calling him a 'Sissy'. This changed when Ryuji got stuck in a sliding cabnet (while playing hide and seek) and Makoto "saved" him. He has slowly started developing feelings towards him ever since.

[Happy Explaining - Declarative] I’m the one who understands makoto the best, and since I’m your best friend, I have to protect you, y’know ?
[Casual - Questioning - Flusttered] Hey you, are you really in love with Makoto?....Just wondering I guess. Me...? I....I love Makoto.
[Annoyed] Hey shrimpy. You think I don't notice ya? What are you trying to pull here acting all buddy buddy with Makoto. If you want Makoto you have to get through ME.
Saki Aoi is one of the 3 leads in this series. She is a cheerful first year, full of energy and always positively chasing after the love of Makoto. Dispite her positivity, she actually has a complicated home life. She lives with her grandmother, since her father is over seas whale watching. He rarely comes home without even a call. Her mother left them when she was young since she couldn't bear her fathers behavior any longer.

[Confident - Shy] I’m 1st year Saki Aoi! So uhm…. what I wanted to talk about was… Makoto Hanaoka Senpai I LIKE YOU! PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME
[Disappointed] But you’re still special to me - [Quiet Disbelief] You’re….a guy….huh?
[Casual - Drepressed] So on the chance that it ends up not working out between you and Makoto senpai..... when we're all older and you can't develop feelings for anyone else, and I also can't develop feelings for anyone else....could we maybe live together?
Ai Hayase is a friend of Makoto. They became friends in middle school, both sharing their love for cute things. Slowly, they drifted apart as students started avoiding Ai because of her rumored to be a weirdo and pervert for hanging out with Makoto. Once they meet again in high school, they are able to sort out their past and become friends again.

Jun Saotome is a friend and classmate of Ryuji. He is more of a supporting character that has scattered appearances throughout the series. As the series progress, he ends up developing feelings for Hayase.
[Annoyed - Complaining] Ugh...! I told my mom I'd be hanging after school for the basketball team but she still assigned me another tutor!! Can you believe that? All these tutors...I don't even have free time anymore!
[Curious - Eager] Hey, you know that girl? Hayase-San I believe? I never knew she was in our class until she became friends with Makoto...shes so quiet but...kind of cute, you know what I mean?
