"In terms of scenes, definitely, even from the stage where I was drawing the storyboards, the scene I gave my all was when Ai dies. I handled that throughout the entire direction, and that part was something I really coordinated closely with Hirayama-san to get done. Hirayama-san was able to provide very detailed animation specifications, like, 'For this part here, I want this person to draw.' So, to do this or that scene, we would even convince and get certain people."
The series premiered on April 12 with a 90-minute episode and is confirmed with a total of eleven episodes, while the HIDIVE is in charge of its distribution in the West.
Therefore, Akasaka and Yokoyari started the manga in Shueisha 's Salto Jovem in 2020. In addition, the publisher published the sixth volume of the compiled book in November 2021.
