After about three months of shooting in Italy, I have completed what I needed to shoot with the cast and crew in terms of realistic images, and now it is my duty to complete the film. I am now going to work on it step by step. I hope that the fans will support this film, which was created by the staff and cast through repeated discussions on how to incorporate the themes and charms of the original work and comic books while creating a "form" that can only be achieved in live-action.
