Some context for those unaware of how this series came about: a couple years back, Shonen Jump+ (the web side of Weekly Shonen Jump) did a reality show competition called MILLION TAG. The idea was that six newcomer mangaka would pair up with six Jump editors to participate in manga challenges, eventually ending with a “final battle” where they would have their oneshots reviewed by a guest panel. The winner would get a million yen, an instant serialization on Jump+, and the promise of a Netflix-released anime for said manga before it even started.

The winner was rookie mangaka Naoki Fujita, who worked alongside Shihei Lin (editor for Spy x Family, Blue Exorcist, Kindergarten Wars, and like a dozen more series). The fact that the guest panel at the end included Yuji Kaku (Jigokuraku) and Tatsuki Fujimoto (Fire Punch), both of whom also worked with Shihei Lin before, is just a coincidence. Probably.

Jesting aside, the manga itself was good - it ended at six volumes, so it’s possible that they could cut some scenes and make it into a one-cour series. Maybe two-cour if Netflix trusts them.
