・From Aki Shimizu (Comic)
I can’t believe that there’s going to be a Chuzenji-sensei anime! I’m so honored!
I’m going to look forward to it as a viewer myself.
・From Natsuhiko Kyogoku (Founder)
A man who was born from the words that I wrote and was given a physical form through Aki Shimizu’s sorcery is now going to be moving and talking.
He’s also apparently young.
I can’t help but be shocked.
