    When I looked this series up on AniList I saw that the source was a manga that was listed as cancelled and had stopped printing in 2015. That got me curious as to why an anime was being made of such an old property that was cancelled. However, after looking it up, turns out the series was cancelled suddenly after the author’s premature death at only 31 years old. Amazingly, she had started publishing manga at 15 years old and even didn’t go to high school to become a full time author.

    All that gives the feeling this is a passion project by somebody at the studio. This doesn’t seem like the kind of property that is going to blow up in popularity.

      That’s fascinating, thanks for sharing! Whether the show turns up alright or not, I’m glad it’s going to be a thing at all.
