The anime "Arcane Boat" is based on the 2012 Honya Taisho award-winning novel by Naoki Prize-winning author Shion Miura. Set in a dictionary editing department, it is a human drama depicting the passion and love of editors who challenge the sea of words.

A new visual featuring all the main characters has been released. It was also revealed that the free booklet "Anime Start Guide" is available at bookstores nationwide, and some bookstores have begun distributing the booklet. The Anime Start Guide includes the first 18 pages of the first episode of the comic adaptation (published in I Kodansha/ITAN) by Haruko Kumoda, the illustrator of the original "Arrange a Boat" story, as well as an interview with the original author and other contents to enjoy "Arrange a Boat".
