Maaya Sakamoto Joins Haikara-san ga Tooru Anime Film 2nd Part as Russian Countess Lalissa
Highly-anticipated "Big Romance in Tokyo" will open in Japan on October 19, 2018
The official website for the two-part all-new anime feature film based on Waki Yamato's classic shoujo manga Haikara-san ga Tooru (Here Comes Miss Modern) announced today that 38-year-old voice actress/singer Maaya Sakamoto plays Lalissa, a new character who appears in its second part "Tokyo Dai Roman" (Big Romance in Tokyo).
Lalissa is the wife of Sasha Mikhaylov, a Russian count who has lived in exile in Japan. The count is exactly like Shinobu Ijuin, the protagonist Benio's fiancé who has been missing in action.

Maaya Sakamoto:
"She has held an important secret by herself, which she cannot reveal to anyone. Lalissa is totally
opposite from Benio, who has a free mind. I first thought she played a role disliked by all audience
in the story..., but after reading the script, I realize she is neither a bad person or mean, she just
tries to live her life as much as she can."
