Murai's Love, an anime adaptation. What, visualization, how are you going to do it...!
The worldview that shines with Shima-sensei's unique sense of gag, the mysterious crowd of characters, and the tempo.
I'm always challenging myself to record the anime as seriously as a samurai, to see how far I can go from what you can see in your brain to what you can see in your heart. The calorie consumption is terrible. I'm going to lose weight.
I know you are all cheering for Murai's love, but I want you to cheer for Tanaka's love too!
