REMOW has revealed the main staff of the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Kuzushiro’s The Moon on a Rainy Night manga series. A new key visual for The Moon on a Rainy Night was also revealed alongside a short interview with Kuzushiro. Like other anime series licensed by REMOW, The Moon on a Rainy Night will be streaming worldwide.
Tomoe Makino directs the anime at CompTown, with Shogo Yasukawa writing and overseeing the series scripts. Ayumi Nishibata is the character designer.
The interview with Kuzushiro is available below:
When creating The Moon on a Rainy Night, what message or themes did you want to convey through the story?
Kuzushiro: Everyone carries worries and struggles that can’t be seen with the eye.
Even when two people share similar burdens, truly understanding or sharing those feelings completely can be extremely difficult—this is why communication becomes essential.
Though the protagonists are high school girls, the issues they face are ones that people encounter throughout their lives. I approached this series with the mindset of exploring those challenges alongside the characters as the story unfolds.
Do you have any elements you’d like overseas fans to pay special attention to?
Kuzushiro: The production team’s deep understanding and affection for the characters shines through every part of the anime-from their expressions and voices to the background details and direction.
I’d be delighted if you could feel that love as you watch.
Kodansha USA currently publishes Kuzushiro’s The Moon on a Rainy Night manga in English.
