nobimaru looks SO bored here. he's forced by inari to be out in the forest at night, probably bitten by 8 mosquitoes on his legs because of his refusal to wear something other than 'fashionable' shorts, and his only company so far are 13 to 15 year olds.

it's great to me that - when talking to Kabane - Nobimaru's so talkative & emotive. meanwhile his conversation partner responds curtly & is perpetually stone-faced.

context aside this panel sums up the majority of their interactions. it usually goes

Kabane: what's that

but did any of us manga readers imagine hearing an adult voice from nobimaru when he showed up for the first time?

it's more something high and youthful out of this 13 year old, right? it was megumi ogata's voice in hanako-kun for me. or, tell me what other voice you had in mind for him!
