Statement from manga creator usagi:
“I am absolutely thrilled that the manga I just started randomly putting out there, calling it a ‘serialization’ on my own whim, is actually being turned into an anime!“During the run, when I went bankrupt, my editor lent me a million yen out of their own pocket, and when things got seriously messed up, everyone around me supported me. That’s the only reason I was able to keep going.
“Thank you so much! At first, my only goal was just to make enough to eat, but now, I draw this manga with a certain hope in mind. I don’t know what the future holds, but with that hope in my heart, I want to see Jimoto Saiko! through to its final chapter!
