(nah-zoh-no show-set-tsoo)

The Super High School Level Mystery Novelist, Nazono Shosetsu is just as enigmatic as many of the characters he writes about. He’s, for the most part, a shut-in, being home schooled by his detective mother, and he’s most renown for his novel The Kamiya Files, a thrilling mystery novel that stumped even the greatest detectives until the stunning reveal at the end, though his novel Midnight City is known for... other reasons.

Director’s notes

Nazono is a very quiet person who tends to be a bit rude at times, though mainly because of his lack of social experience. He’s incredibly blunt, but can be nice when he wants, though it’s a little bit awkward. Oh yeah, and Midnight City is famous for its incredibly smutty scenes, so take that as you will.

Voice

Nazono should have a medium-low voice that sounds very serious and blunt, but it should also be capable of sounding awkward and flustered. He often says things that sound cruel, but he’s not really aware of it, so whoever voices him should be able to convey a certain degree of ignorance to social norms in their performance.
