The character video for Rock is a Lady’s Modesty anime’s protagonist Lilisa Suzunomiya begins by showing her daily life at school. She’s suggested to be polite, regal, and adored by her classmates as a model student and apparent violin player.

However, this quickly shifts to what appears to be her after-school hobby of playing the guitar in a band, showing a much rougher and harsher side to her personality. Her voice even changes noticeably here.

These two sides are also highlighted on the aforementioned gap visual, but with an outfit change that isn’t present in the character video. As a guitarist in a rock band, Lilisa exchanges her all-white academy outfit for black shorts and a black graphic t-shirt. Her expressions are also polar opposites, with her daytime look being gentle and welcoming while her rocker look is menacing and scary.

Lilisa will be voiced by Akira Sekine, whose performance can be heard in Lilisa’s character video.

As of this article’s writing, the only other currently announced cast member is Miyuri Shimabukuro as Otoha Kurogane. With the anime set to premiere sometime in April 2025, it’s expected that additional cast members will be announced in the coming weeks. The anime will premiere on Thursdays at 11:56 pm Japanese Standard Time, on TBS and 27 affiliate channels.
