Popular Beauty YouTuber Michelle Phan with makeup and a microphone plays Mari in the upcoming series Junji Ito Maniac.
The beauty guru, Michelle Phan, will take on her first anime role in the upcoming series Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre.
As detailed in a post on the Netflix Anime Twitter page, Phan will play the character Mari in Episode 4 of Junji Ito Maniac. Mari is a supporting character in “Sandman’s Lair”, a story about a man who is afraid to sleep because he believes that a person in his dreams is trying to escape into reality. Phan is the first confirmed actor in the English dub of Junji Ito Maniac.
Michelle Phan’s multifaceted success
Michelle Phan is one of YouTube’s most iconic stars in the beauty and vlog fields. Since starting her channel in 2006, she has amassed a huge audience of over 8.7 million subscribers, giving her content over 1 billion views. In addition to her YouTube career, Phan is also the owner and founder of EM Cosmetics, which she successfully relaunched after an initial failure in 2015. Although Phan has never been in a movie no animation before, but she has had small voice acting roles in the past, playing Jessica Jones from the 2016 Marvel video game Avengers Academy and Blackberry Cookie from the mobile game Cookie Run: Kingdom in 2021.
In Junji Ito’s “Sandman’s Lair”, Phan’s character Mari is a close friend of the main character, Yuji. Despite Yuji’s insistence that an evil force in his dreams is trying to swap places with him in the real world, Mari manages to comfort and help him throughout the story. As time went on, Mari took increasingly drastic measures to reassure Yuji, such as keeping him from sleeping or tying his wrists and ankles at night. In the Japanese version, Junko Oka, who has played supporting roles in many anime series, including Jujutsu Kaisen and The Ancient Magus’ Bride, plays Mari.
Junji Ito Maniac is an anthology series that will adapt 20 select stories from popular horror icon Junji Ito. Some of the series highlights include “Tomie: Photo” the story of a mysterious young woman seeking revenge against a group of haunting photographers from her school, “The Hanging Balloons”, about a small town haunted by floating images, decapitated heads, “The Labyrinth Can’t Take It” is about a pair of friends who discover a crazy religious cult living in a maze underground and “Library of Illusions,” the story of a man who is completely obsessed with his family’s large book collection.
Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre will premiere on Netflix on January 19.
