The popular multimedia otome franchise Obey Me! has undergone a significant casting change. NTT Solmare and the production committee officially announced the removal of voice actor Miura Ayme from the role of Asmodeus, the avatar of lust among the infernal demon brothers.
Investigation Findings
According to the official statement released by the franchise team, an internal investigation confirmed that Ayme engaged in private communications with a fan who was believed to be under the age of 18 at the time. Although the investigation verified that no physical or sexual contact occurred, management concluded that the interactions severely breached the strict professional boundaries mandated for cast members representing the franchise.
Future of the Character
Despite the abrupt recasting, management assured the global fanbase that the narrative arc of Asmodeus will continue uninterrupted. Staff are currently making preparations to recast the role across all media, including upcoming projects such as the mobile title Obey Me! Sinner's Choice: Lucifer, alongside necessary in-game voice asset updates.
Originating as a romance simulation app within the broader Shall We Date? ecosystem, the franchise casts players as exchange students at RAD, a specialized academy for demons. The property expanded beyond mobile screens through short-form anime adaptations streamed internationally via platforms like Crunchyroll and YouTube, building a dedicated worldwide following that frequently interacts with its voice cast at major international conventions.
