Seiyuu Masumi Asano has announced via her radio show Weekly Moneyland with an accountant Shinya Yamada on Monday that she has been married to mangaka Kenjirou Hata for a while. Asano voiced Risa Asakaze in anime adaptations of Hayate no Gotoku, which is drawn by Hata. They also published Sore ga Seiyuu together, which received an anime adaptation in Summer 2015. She asked fans to continue supporting both of them and especially Hata due to his previously announced and upcoming series Tonikaku Kawaii, which start publishing this week in this year's 12th issue of Weekly Shounen Sunday.

Aside from her role in Hayate no Gotoku, Asano voiced Hakufu Sonsaku from the Ikkitousen series, Flower from the Kowarekake no Orgel series, Minami Kaidou from the Go! Princess Precure series, and more. She is also a writer.

Hahaha the first comment is advertisement bot.

Anyway I just hope that his new series will be good and won't suffer the same ending as Hayate.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

happy for them, i knew they were very good friends for some time. Hata even helped with designs for Sore ga Seiyuu. Fun thing that Hata didnt do anything special for her character Risa, she was mostly ignored in last chapters, good thing he doesnt have his personal feelings affect his story.
Also most importantly, give hayate no gotoku a proper ending for side characters ,come on Hata :vvv

That pictures comes off as really cute especially seeing how her relationship with Hata built up into marriage. I know the fans understand especially if they've read or watched Sore ga Seiyuu.

@Kuma I'm sorry I don't know anything about ad aster per aspera since he doesn't mention anything about that work in the Tweet (he actually Tweeted about it, too) regarding to the news.

yeah, it happened quite happen... mangaka do 2 or more series consecutively... usually one of series or both will suffer because mangaka had more works to do... but this is really strange cause
>it is weekly shounen sunday, so if he does follow weekly schedule, it would be already really busy...
> Both is publised in same magazine, shounen sunday... i never heard someone made 2 series consecutively in same magazine...

i wonder if ad aster per aspera will get hiatusses or even axed...
