“When the anime adaptation (visualization) happens, they rework the direction based on the manga, and even as the original author, I sometimes find myself thinking, ‘Whoa, this is awesome!’, ‘You can use this technique in this way too…’ – it’s like I was moved by something that’s been reverse imported.”

Fans find this piece of information intriguing, with onewriting, “Gege being a fanboy of his own work to the point of hyping up, how good it will look when animated is truly cute to see.”
