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.
