Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series deliberately contrasts rural Tottori Prefecture with Tokyo's suffocating social codes—Mitsumi's directness reads as refreshing chaos in a performative culture.
Director Kazuki Kawagoe specifically instructed animators to study real high schoolers' 'awkward energy' rather than typical anime polish—notice how characters actually fidget and avoid eye contact.
