CATDOLL: "High School Girl Cooks for You" voice actress Natsuko Hara suspends work due to cancer

Natsuko Hara, the voice actress who voiced the heroine Reina Saeki in "High School Girl Cooks for You", announced on her blog that she would temporarily stop working due to cancer. Fortunately, it is in the early stages and she should be able to recover through surgery. This news has once again attracted strong attention to the Japanese voice acting industry.

She said online that she was supposed to attend the "C3_CharaExpo" exhibition in Singapore from July 9 to July 10, but had to shelve her plan because she was diagnosed with cancer. She wanted to apologize to those affected. Her cancer was in the early stages, but she still had to rest for a while. She had discussed this news with her agency and hoped that everyone would not worry.

Natsuko Hara also said that her father was diagnosed with cancer two years ago but died because it was too late. She felt guilty and regretful for not paying attention to her father's condition. Since then, the whole family has gone to the hospital for regular checkups, and this time the problem was found. She hopes to recover as soon as possible through treatment and return to her beloved voice acting industry.

Regarding this matter, Japanese netizens expressed their concern: "She has cancer at such a young age, but being able to detect it in the early stage can be said to be a blessing in disguise. I hope you can recover and return to the animation circle soon." "The earlier young people find cancer, the easier it is to cure. You have to take good care of yourself. Fans will wait for your return." "Although her career has just started, treatment is important. I wish you a speedy return."

The voice actor industry is always full of cruelty. Just this year, Matsunaga Maho, the voice actor of Toudou Erina in "Love Live!", Shimura Yumi, the voice actor of Canary in "Rozen Maiden", and Tsukimiya Midori, the voice actor of Euclewood Halseids in "Is This a Zombie?", announced their retirement one after another. Mizutani Yuko, the elder sister of "Chibi Maruko-chan", passed away due to breast cancer, and Tetorigen Yuki announced a long-term rest.
