Yamamoto (also known as Yamakan) himself is credited with the original work, script, direction and sound direction. Twilight Studio will be in charge of animation.
The cast Sora Amamiya.
Yamamoto is planning the anime as the last of his self-described "Tōhoku trilogy" set in Japan's Tōhoku region in the northeast. Hakubo in particular follows youths living in "the now and present" in Miyagi Prefecture, respectively.)
Yamamoto said that he first conceived of the project's initial concept two decades ago when he was in college. When he mulled over what would be a good perspective to depict Fukushima, he recalled this idea from his past and set it in Tōhoku.
Yamamoto has posted his original novel that inspired the anime online.
