Otomen Manga Dub
RobertWright for Hajime Tonomine
The captain of Kinbara High School's kendo team, he sees Asuka as his lifelong rival. He is the strong and silent type but is actually an otomen who is good with doing makeup. Similar to Asuka, Tonomine's father told him to give up his ‘girly’ habits, fearing it would interfere with his kendo. Juta calls him a ‘tsun-sama’, a portmanteau of tsundere (cold on the outside, warm on the inside) and ore-sama (self-confident, narcissistic). In one story arc, he and Asuka are recruited to do makeovers for a local television show as masked characters called the Beauty Samurai.
I’m unsure of a British RP accent or standard North American here, so use whichever you’re more comfortable doing/whichever you think best fits. I want confidence erupting from this character, with a slight tone of snobbiness, not too much though.
Medium - medium low range.
Voice inspirations:
1. Greedling, FMA:BH English dub
2. Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney, Mark Healy voice
I’m open to your interpretations!
[Respectfully clashes his kendo sword against Asuka’s before the beginning of their fight]
“I’ve been waiting for this, Masamune. Three whole years since our last meet, three whole years since my loss to you, and three whole years of living in your shadow ...”
[Flicks his sword aggressively off of Asuka’s, eliminating any ounce of respect]
“That ends today!”
[Absolutely in shock over stumbling upon Asuka in a florist]
“What are you doing here?! No, absolutely not, I was NOT buying these flowers for myself. That wouldn’t be right by any circumstance!”
[Angrily throws bouquet back into the bucket, followed by doing the infamous anime glasses push with his middle finger]
“Good day!”
[Storms out of the florist, blushing]
[Doing a model’s makeup professionally]
“Ahhh, what beauty.”
[Lifts the woman’s head up delicately by her chin]
“Ahhh, what elegance. Look how radiant that metallic eyeshadow shines above those gorgeous sapphire like eyes you have.”
Really good job for Hajime too! Your emphasis on certain words and emotes were exactly how I imagined when writing the audition lines. I would just say at the beginning of the third audition lines, it’s more of an admirable whisper, if that makes sense?
Ahh I see what you mean.
