Voice Actor Rie Takahashi Takes One-Month Hiatus due to Vocal Cord Surgery

Japanese voice actor agency 81 Produce announced on April 3 that voice actor Rie Takahashi will be taking a one-month hiatus to undergo surgery for a vocal code. She is best known for her portrayal of Megumin in KONOSUBA -God's blessing on this wonderful world! and Emilia in Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- . According to the statement, she had been showing symptoms of hoarseness due to nodules for some time and had been received treatment, but in light of her future voice acting activities, after consulting with her doctor, the agency decided to have her undergo surgery. She will take a rest for about a month after the surgery, but the timing of her return may vary depending on the progress of her recovery. At the same time as the announcement from her agency, she also posted a message on her own official X (formerly Twitter) . She wrote, "I am sorry for the concern of all of you who have always supported me, but I am feeling very well, so please rest assured and wait for a little while… I would also like to thank everyone involved and the office for taking time out of their busy schedules to respond to my situation… I will take this short break as an opportunity to recuperate so that I can once again carefully and delicately deal with the works and my characters."
