The cast includes Gakuto Kajiwara as protagonist Luck, with Toshiyuki Morikawa, Tsuyoshi Koyama, and Yui Ishikawa among the supporting roles. Two additional cast members were announced in early June: Miharu Hanai voices Charlotte and Suzuna Kinoshita voices Mary, the daughters of the character Erik.
