Her next project is set to be a romantic comedy movie themed around first love! However, having never been in love herself, Natsuko struggles to understand the concept of first love, and as a result, she’s unable to create the storyboard, causing the movie production to come to a standstill.
Lastly, Zenshu will premiere at some point in the future. MAPPA will likely reveal more details in the coming weeks and months.
