He also spoke about the close collaboration with the original creator, Tomato Soup, saying, "Depicting the culture and history of that era was extremely challenging, and the entire production team sincerely researched a wide range of documents and materials. Tomato Soup is actually quite the history researcher, and we even received a detailed list of the reference materials they had used. We asked Tomato Soup questions like, 'Is this depiction accurate?' and 'What was the intent behind this?' many times, and we worked very closely together. Beyond Tomato Soup, we also received cooperation from a variety of other experts and specialists." He spoke passionately about the background of how thorough historical research was carried out with the help of experts.

At the end of the talk session, he sent a message to the audience: "Today is a precious opportunity to see episodes 3 and 4, which haven't been released yet. I truly believe this is wonderful animation that will keep you hooked from the very first scene, so I hope you'll enjoy it thoroughly all the way to the end." After the screening of Act 1 through Act 4 concluded, the venue erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, bringing the special screening to a close amid great excitement.

The series is based on a popular historical manga that has won numerous manga awards, including the Grand Prize in the Comic Category at the 55th Japan Cartoonists Association Award and 1st place in the Female Readers' Edition of "Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023." The anime adaptation is being streamed in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide on Crunchyroll, one of the world's largest anime streaming services, and is also being rolled out on various platforms in Japan alongside its terrestrial broadcast.
