WIND BREAKER Season 2 Stars on anan Magazine Back Cover! Creator Nii Satoru and Voice Actors Uchida Yuuma, Chiba Shouya, Shimazaki Nobunaga Interviewed
The 2450 issue of the women’s gravure weekly magazine “anan”, featuring `Sakura Haruka`, `Nirei Akihiko`, and `Subou Hayato` from the TV anime `WIND BREAKER Season 2` on the back cover with a newly drawn visual, is set to be released on June 11, 2025. This issue is packed with content, including solo interviews with the voice cast: `Uchida Yuuma`, `Chiba Shouya`, and `Shimazaki Nobunaga` (Note: `Shimazaki`’s “saki” character is the older, non-standard version), as well as a long interview with the original author, `Nii Satoru`.
The “anan” 2450 issue features the latest edition of the magazine’s popular fortune-telling special. Titled “Your Love and Destiny in the Second Half of 2025”, popular fortune-tellers divine the future in this turbulent period. Gracing the back cover are `Sakura Haruka`, `Nirei Akihiko`, and `Subou Hayato` from `WIND BREAKER Season 2`, which is currently airing its second season.
Based on the manga that is a regular chart-topper in the Shounen Magazine official app “Magapoke” and sees immediate reprints upon volume release, this work is a fresh take on the delinquent battle genre, blending classic tropes with new ideas. The characters, who attend `Furin Koukou`, fight to protect the town as “Boufuurin”. For this feature, a unique three-shot visual was created, showing them with expressions slightly different from their usual fighting demeanor.
The outfits are unified in a black jacket style, but each character’s personality shines through with unique details. Pay close attention to the individual styling and poses of the trio: `Sakura` exudes a straightforward presence, `Nirei` showcases his love for fashion with accessory choices, and `Subou` captivates with his mysterious charm.
Also not to be missed are the behind-the-scenes stories of the photoshoot featuring the three characters on the back cover. Original author `Nii Satoru` even shared comments expanding on the imagination, asking, “What if anan existed in the world of `WIND BREAKER`?”.
Fans will find plenty of intriguing details, such as “Do the three of them even know what anan is?”, “Which characters besides these three would read anan?”, “How would they spend their time and react on set?”, and “Do they eat the bento?”. By reading these behind-the-scenes tales before gazing at the back cover again, you might feel an even stronger sense of the three characters’ reality.
Furthermore, the long interview where `Nii Satoru` discusses his thoughts put into `WIND BREAKER` as the original author is a must-read. From recent entertainment works that caught his eye to deeper dives into each character, memorable scenes from the “KEEL Hen” and “Roppou Ichiza Hen” arcs depicted in TV anime Season 2, and core moments and lines, the interview delves extensively into the background of the work.
Moreover, the solo interviews with the voice actors who portray the three back cover stars—`Uchida Yuuma`, `Chiba Shouya`, and `Shimazaki Nobunaga`—are also highlights. `Uchida`, who plays the protagonist `Sakura`, is also featured in a solo gravure photoshoot inspired by `Sakura`’s mental growth depicted in TV anime Season 2.
The interviews reveal the voice actors’ passion for the work, their approaches to playing their roles, and highlights of Season 2. Additionally, their responses to a shared question, “How would you describe the relationship between `Sakura`, `Nirei`, and `Subou` in a single phrase?”, showcase their individual perspectives on the characters. Be sure to pick up the magazine to find out their unique answers!
