Comments

Original story: Kazumi Takayama

I am filled with various feelings such as happiness, embarrassment, and anxiety because what I had in my mind has now developed into a movie. Although the novel and the animation production were completely different and difficult, I was involved in the production for a long period of time with the help of the staff. I am very much looking forward to finally being able to show you the film in theaters on May 10, 2024 (Friday).

I am very much looking forward to finally being able to see the film.
