Kin-iro Mosaic Manga Author Posts Appreciation Message & Illustration on Twitter

After seeing the latest anime film Kin-iro Mosaic Thank You!! in a theater, Yui Hara, the author of the slice-of-life comedy four-panel manga series Kin-iro Mosaic / KINMOZA!, posted her appreciation message with an illustration for the anime staff and fans on Twitter. The all-new film was released in 70 Japanese theaters on August 20, 2021.

She writes:

"The film edition which is now in theaters, I saw it in a theater the other day. I was so happy to be able to watch the final graduation scene in the anime after the original manga ended. Though there were a lot of episodes packed in, the pacing was good, I was glad to see the same atmosphere as the TV series. From the first season of the TV anime to this film, I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in 'Kin-iro Mosaic' for making the wonderful anime."

"They used my illustrations for the ED. It's not often that I get to see my illustration on the big screen of a theater, so I was really grateful. Honoka was also there because the Rhodanthe* song was playing in the background, and I wanted to draw all of them. The flower in the background is also Rhodanthe. Thank you for noticing it. I was listening to 'Thank You for Your Smile' on repeat when I drew this illustration. I was surprised to see that it had been played over 100 times."
