About Gabriel DropOut





An angel at the top of an angel school has descended to the human world! However, she has already acclimated to the life of the human world so much that she ends up leading a self-indulgent life, skipping school all the time and being absorbed in online games. Gabriel soon forgets about her original goal to make human beings happy and has turned into a lazy and hopeless angel, or a “sloppy angel” in short. Amazingly, she swears to continue to fully enjoy the pleasure of various entertainments of the human world.

The Gabriel DropOut manga has been serialized in Kadokawa/Ascii Media Works' monthly magazine Comic Dengeki Daioh "g" since December 2013, and currently three tankobon volumes are available in Japan. Doga Kobo works on production of the anime adaptation. Masahiko Ota, who recently worked on Himouto! Umaru-chan, is attached to direct, alongside series composition writer Takashi Aoshima (Yuruyuri, Umaru-chan) and character designer Masahiro Katsutani (We Are Luck & Logic Club).

CHARACTERS & CAST

Gabriel White Tenma (voiced by Miyu Tomita), an angel who graduated at the top of her class at Angel School. Since coming to the human world, Gabriel has become fascinated with various forms of entertainment media, and has turned into a good-for-nothing slacker.

Vignette April Tsukinose (voiced by Saori Ōnishi), a serious-minded devil who is incapable of ignoring people who are in trouble. A dependable character, Vignette is always looking after Gabriel.

Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa (voiced by Naomi Ōzora), a devil who puts on airs and aims at being a great devil, but who is really just a buffoon. Satanichia considers herself to be Gabriel's greatest rival, but Gabriel doesn't reciprocate these feelings.

Raphiel Ainsworth Shiraha (voiced by Kana Hanazawa), an angel who appears to be a paragon of virtue at first glance, but who is in fact a gigantic sadist. Raphiel has been friends with Gabriel for a long time. Raphiel alleviates her boredom by picking on Satanichia. She's also well known for having large breasts.
