Watch Kemeko, the new comedy which has almost the exact same formula as ToLoveRu but with 100 times less the sleaze and proper action scenes. Saitou Chiwa voices the lead female Kemeko and you 100 percent can’t tell it is her, if you’re used to the likes of Becky and Nekomimi Mode Hazuki. The voice [...]
