Jonathan
auditioning for
Aoi Kiriya (A-oi Ki-ri-ya)
in Kare First Love- Full Cast Manga Voiceover
Kiriya is confident, playful, flirtatious, and sometimes shamelessly teasing. He usually sounds comfortable in his own skin and enjoys getting reactions from Karin, but his charm should feel natural rather than calculated. Beneath the teasing, he has moments of genuine concern, warmth, and emotional sincerity.
Avoid: Playing him as predatory, sleazy, or aggressively “cool.”
(Cheeky laugh, cocky) If they ask, let’s tell them something happened. We did kiss, after all!
(Defensive, frustrated) What did she think I…?! C’mon it was an accident!
(gentle, sincere) Seeing you so upset made me worry.
