Meredith McCoy does the voice of Kagura Sohma, a girl who transforms into a boar when she hugs a male, except for her male cousins. Her voice-acting is fine but I do have issues with this character and how she's presented, here and in the manga. Since childhood, she's been obsessively "in love" with Kyo, which she demonstrates by speaking of how they'll be married someday, and by bullying him, sometimes simultaneously. Everyone, except the furious and scared Kyo, acts as if this is at worst annoying and at best, as in Tohru's case, sweet and touching. It's played for laughs but it is abuse. Still, I won't go lower on the grade because there are some nice character moments, between Tohru and Kyo, and even Tohru and Kagura.
