The message from Mr. Emoto is as follows.

I remember reading a novel when I was a student and was very impressed, so when I heard about this animated film, I was thrilled. Director Tamura's storyboard was also really, really nice, and I got goosebumps over and over again in various scenes in the story. It is a movie that I would like you to come to see with your loved ones. In this comicalize, I would like to convey the wonderfulness of such a movie as soon as possible.




The cast will be announced at a later date.
