[Final TN: That’s all from Popipa! There’s arguably as much of the seiyuus’ personalities to be gleaned from their handwriting and doodles as from my translations, so I’ve purposely organized it in this way to make it easier to refer! Hope you learned more about each seiyuu from this! Source is the September issue of Animedia, released on 2019-08-09. Raws are kindly provided by Yui from Discord. Stay tuned for more~ 😊]
