Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title refers to fish poisoning — a metaphor for toxic environments you can't detect until it's too late. Furuya's 2000s manga was considered unadaptable for decades.
The motorbike license becomes Yusuke's only valid ID — literally his only proof of self outside school. The driving school scenes were filmed at actual closed courses with non-actors.
