What is Koe de Oshigoto!?#
Koe de Oshigoto! (also known as Voice Work!) is a comedy and romance series that blends school life with the professional world of voice acting. The story follows Kanna Aoyagi, an innocent 16-year-old who is recruited by her 28-year-old sister, Yayoi, to work as a voice actress at her game development company. However, there is a catch: Kanna soon discovers that the company specializes in developing erotic content.
If you are looking to dive into this series, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When asking if the anime is “finished,” it is important to look at the timeline of the source material. The anime adaptation premiered in November 2010, but the original manga it is based on continued its serialization until April 2013.
Because the manga extended well beyond the anime’s release, those who watch only the anime may find that it does not encompass the full scope of the original story. To get the complete narrative and a truly satisfying conclusion, continuing with the source material is highly recommended. You can buy the Koe de Oshigoto! manga to see how the story unfolds beyond the screen.
