TV anime 'Chi Grant' Super Teaser PV-YouTube
The original novel by Rokushima Asa has sold over 1.3 million copies, and the manga by Gyōgyo Mochi, which is serialized in Gekkan Magazine Kibiki, has been a big hit on social media, with Rokushima even saying, 'Please note that the content of the novel and manga versions is about 99% different.'
The congratulatory comments and illustrations accompanying the announcement of the anime adaptation are as follows:
Original novelist Asa Rokushima:
I'm very happy that 'Chi Gaishu' is being made into an anime.
Congratulations to the Commercial Mochi Sensei.
I always look forward to reading the manga, and I'm looking forward to seeing Rain and the others in action in the anime.
I hope that this will be an opportunity for 'Chi-Giving' to become even more widely known, not only among readers of the manga, but also among those who have not yet read it.
Once again, congratulations to everyone involved in the 'Chi Grant' project!
Character design by kisui:
I'm very happy that 'Chi Gaishu' is being made into an anime!
I am very moved to see how the work is expanding, starting with the original author, Rokushima Asa-sensei, and then Gyomuyo Mochi-sensei who is in charge of the manga version, and the anime production...!
I am deeply grateful to the fans and people involved who have supported the project.
I'm looking forward to the anime being broadcast!

Manga/Commercial Mochi-san:
I was surprised to hear someone say that they joined PAWORKS because they wanted to work on this anime. After the decision to make an anime was made, I met the animation production team, and they all work with great passion, so I trust and respect them and leave it to them.
I never dreamed that I would be able to interact with people in this way in my life, but it's all thanks to the readers who support me on a daily basis. I promise that this anime will not disappoint those readers. I am one of those people who are looking forward to the completion.
I would like to thank the readers who have given me these opportunities and experiences in my life, and to Asa Mutsushima and Kisui Sensei for their generosity in publishing this series.

Please spread the word: I'm looking for someone who lost a treasure map at Wonder Festival Summer 2024. Based on the location and time of the find, this person appears to be in the 100s on the Direct Pass. They got a pretty good Direct Pass number, wrote down the places they wanted to visit over the course of several days, and were excited to get there, only to lose the map within 10 seconds of starting. #WF2026W pic.twitter.com/2hdcAdp4Q7

When I complain about internet ads, I often get replies like 'Stop complaining and just use the Brave browser,' but if we completely blocked online ads, there would be no revenue from advertising and online media would be wiped out.

Recently I came across a discussion about the notation 'original/illustrated.'
— George Morikawa (@WANPOWANWAN) February 6, 2026
I wondered if the royalty distribution rate would be different depending on this notation (excluding the original idea), but in my experience it was quite flexible, so I don't think that's the case.
This was a mystery to me, so I looked into the example of Professor Nagayasu Takumi, whom I greatly respect.

In the past, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were released every 1-2 years, so they were content that you would generally come across once as a child, but now development times have extended, so it's common for games not to be released for 5-10 years, and it's become common for people to never come across a game during their six years of elementary school, so there's no way that content like that will catch on with young people. https://t.co/HLpx01Ss8S

It's so cool. Every time I see complaints like 'They're different colors, so they should both be home uniforms,' I wonder what it's like for people with color blindness. Apparently, about 5% of Japanese men are color blind, and there are 1,986 registered players in J1 to J3 this season. That means 99 people are color blind (including foreign nationals at 5%), so I've always thought that a certain percentage of fatal mistakes when passing to the opponent could be due to color blindness. https://t.co/8EBdlSE49v pic.twitter.com/MNkdGpa109
