This series is one I loved before the anime came out since I was on the manga since very early on. The adaptation did it so much justice, especially the beginning shown in episode 1. Doga Kobo was the right studio choice for it. There will be a season 2! pic.twitter.com/K2pM8VbLL0— Saitei Senpai (@saiteisenpai) July 3, 2023
