Furthermore, Masao Ohtake's action-comedy manga will release its 7th volume in Japan on March 13th.
Author's expectations for the premiere
Ohtake expressed enthusiasm for the animated version, highlighting that the fight scenes will gain a new dynamism on screen. "I believe the voice acting will bring a level of fun impossible to replicate on paper," the author stated.
However, he joked about the technical difficulty the voice actors will face when portraying swapped characters. Therefore, the expectation among anime news is growing regarding the visual fidelity of the work.
