The anime project was launched by studio hb alone in the summer 2020 without a production committee or sponsorship, and they are facing short of money and manpower. With the aim of raising funds for activities that will allow more people to learn about the anime, the crowdfunding campaign launched on December 29, 2022. The company said, "We have decided to launch this campaign in the hope that various people can find the anime project through screening events, poster projects, etc., and that it will be an opportunity to further develop this project in the future."

 

The campaign's initial goal was 500,000 yen (3,854 USD) and the goal was easily achieved only in 36 hours. As of this writing, it has already collected 1,080,500 yen (8,328 USD) from 92 supporters, which is 216 percent of its initial goal. Thanks to this rapid success, the company has already decided to hold a screening event in Tokyo. As more support is gathered, further projects will be realized. The campaign continues through February 28.
