Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The original manga ran during Japan's 'hikikomori' discourse, using domestic incompetence as a metaphor for millennial burnout.
Haru reportedly took 'messy acting' lessons to convincingly portray someone who doesn't know how to fold clothes. The crew scattered actual used items from her own closet for authenticity.
