Inori Minase has received the prestigious "Best Actress" award at the 10th annual Seiyu Awards. While best known for her work in the anime series Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls in a dungeon? as the character Hestia, Inori has had some other exciting opportunities for 2015.

She was awarded the prestigious title for her lead role in the film The Anthem of the Heart, and in the popular anime series School-Live.

In The Anthem of the Heart, despite given the difficult lead role of Jun Naruse, a girl who doesn’t speak, Inori was able to impersonate the character and all her sensitive insecurities to make her relatable to audiences. Likewise, the role of survivor Yuki Takeya in School-Live! was brought to life with Inori’s innocent yet energetic and ever persuasive acting, fascinating fans along the way.

While receiving the award Inori gave a heartfelt speech thanking the industry and her fans.

“When I was five, I had a small wish to be able to talk to (anime) characters, that grew into a dream of becoming a professional voice actress. I never imagined that 15 years later I would win this award. At the age of 20, I don’t see this award as the goal or the peak of my career, and I want to keep improving and growing in the future. I hope that I can someday become someone else's dream and admiration, and will continue to work hard to do so. ”
