“I was genuinely surprised to hear that someone had even joined P.A. WORKS because
they wanted to work on this anime. Since the adaptation was greenlit, I’ve had the
chance to meet the production team, and everyone is approaching the project with
remarkable passion. I trust them completely and have nothing but respect for their
dedication. Never did I imagine my life would lead me to connect with people in this
way, and it’s all thanks to the readers who support me day after day. I promise this
anime will live up to your expectations, and I’m just as excited as anyone to see the
finished work. My heartfelt gratitude goes to the readers who have given me this
opportunity, as well as to Asa Rokushima and kisui for their generosity in allowing me
to work on this series.”

Rokushima, to Gyomuyoumochi on the manga, and now the anime staff—it’s been
incredibly moving to watch this series continue to grow! I’m grateful to all the fans
and everyone involved who have supported the work. I’m already looking forward to
seeing the anime air and can’t wait to share that excitement with all of you!”
