Manga creator Osamu Nishi also shared a lighthearted message regarding the announcement, keeping specific plot details closely guarded for the time being:
More than anything, I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve been told by the people around me not to say anything, so I can’t really say anything (laughs), but we’re working very hard on it, so I hope you’ll wait patiently.
