Among the many animation works that will be broadcast in October 2022, the one that is attracting the most attention from female fans is undoubtedly this work "Mushikaburi Hime". Due to the expansion of the anime population in recent years, the number of female fans has increased in the current anime industry, but it seems that there are still few anime works purely aimed at women. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the number of Narou-style works and manga works targeting women is gradually increasing, so I think that there will definitely be an increase in anime works aimed at women as a future trend. So, this time I would like to introduce this work "Mushikaburi Hime", one of the most anticipated anime works for women, from the perspective of the people involved in the production staff.
Original work by Yui
First, let me introduce the original author of this work, Yui-sensei. Yui-sensei is the author who has drawn all of the fundamental settings of this work, such as the world view and story, by himself, so to learn more about Yui-sensei is nothing other than to research this work in detail. Please check it out in detail.
Submitted this work on "Let's Become a Novelist"
This work was originally submitted by Yui-sensei to "Let's Become a Novelist". This work boasts a high level of completion as an amateur work, and quickly gained support from female fans and was made into an anime. The fact that it was able to gain such recognition so quickly on "Let's Become a Novelist", where there are so many works, and that it was made into an anime, gives us a glimpse of Yui-sensei's talent.
A style unique to women
Yui-sensei in particular is a writer who is well-known for her unique perspective and story progression that is unique to women. While sprinkled with classic developments reminiscent of the golden age of shojo manga, this work, "Mushikaburi Hime," can be said to be adapted to a modern form, and is somehow nostalgic yet new, and can be said to be a work that will become the foundation of future shojo works. We will continue to keep an eye on Yui-sensei, the author of this work!
Director Taro Iwasaki
Next, we will introduce Taro Iwasaki, the director of this work. If you are an anime fan, you may have heard his name several times! Iwasaki is an important person who determines the quality of this work as an anime work, so let's take a closer look.
Active in many productions as a director
As mentioned earlier, many readers of this article may have heard the name Taro Iwasaki and thought, "That's a name I remember." That's because Iwasaki has been active as a director in many productions for many years. From here, I would like to give a brief introduction to the works that Taro Iwasaki has been involved in.
Laid-Back Camp SEASON 2
First of all, one of the works that Iwasaki Taro has been involved in is Laid-Back Camp SEASON 2. This work is characterized by impressive backgrounds that are memorable to viewers and a heartwarming, clear worldview. It can be said that the worldview and backgrounds that are the charm of this work were definitely created by the hands of director Iwasaki.

This is also a popular work with a beautiful world view set in the sea. Like this work, it is popular with women, and each character is also attracting attention.

It is highly recommended because you can get various information, such as behind-the-scenes stories that you would not notice just by watching the work normally!
Series Composition: Mitsuki Hirota
The series composition for this work is Mitsuki Hirota. In animation works that involve multiple screenwriters, it is common for there to be a person in the role of series composition who coordinates those screenwriters. In this work, it is Hirota, but the person in charge of series composition is often a veteran with a lot of experience, so it's definitely worth checking out!
Active in TV anime
Hirota has been active in many TV animation works so far! Some of them may be memorable works that you have watched, so be sure to check them out! From here, I would like to introduce some of the TV animation works that Hirota has been involved in.
"Yowamushi Pedal"
One of the anime works that Hirota has been involved in is the popular anime "Yowamushi Pedal," which is set in the world of road bike racing. Hirota is in charge of the script for this work, so if you're interested, be sure to watch the episodes that Hirota is involved in.
"Rent-A-Girlfriend"
Recently, the anime work that Hirota has been involved in has undoubtedly attracted the most attention. This work is a romantic comedy that has gained popularity due to the appearance of various attractive heroines. Hirota is also involved in this work as a scriptwriter, so why not watch it as a connection to works that Hirota has been involved in?
He is in charge of the series composition for this work!
Hirota has been in charge of the scripts for many TV anime works, but it seems that he will be taking on the role of series composition for this work. Series composition is a role like an organization that puts together the scripts here, and it is a position that requires the ability to bring the work together as a whole. For this reason, it is often handled by experienced veterans, and it is clear that Hirota plays a very important role in this work.
Character Design: Mizuka Takahashi
The character design for this work is done by Mizuka Takahashi. In this work, which has many female fans, the quality with which the characters are drawn is a very important factor. Since the novel work that you loved is being made into a movie, you want the characters to be drawn in a way that is just as good as how they are in the novel. Takahashi, the character designer, is the one who meets the expectations of such female fans.
Active as the animation director of many works!
Takahashi has worked as a character animation director on many productions. A character animation director is responsible for turning the character designs of the character designer into actual animated footage. This shows that he has worked in many productions, drawing characters in the process.
He served as animation director for works such as "Big Windup!"
Big Windup is particularly known as an anime work that Takahashi was involved in. This work depicts baseball as a club activity in a warm worldview, and the characters are very popular. This also shows that Takahashi is very skilled at drawing characters in an attractive way. I'm looking forward to seeing how Eliana and the others will be portrayed by Takahashi in this work!
Animation Production: Madhouse
Finally, I would like to introduce Madhouse, the foreign production company responsible for the animation production of this work. It is a historic animation production company that has released many other fascinating works in addition to this work, so please check it out.
A production company following in the footsteps of Tezuka Productions
Madhouse is an animation production company that was established by people who originally worked for Tezuka Productions. As it follows in the footsteps of Tezuka Productions, a pioneer in the animation industry, it can be said that the company has extremely high technical capabilities when it comes to creating animation.
Active in various works
In fact, he has produced many animation works so far, and there are probably many works among them that you have seen. Since it is not possible to introduce all of them here, I would like to introduce some representative works.
"Ichigo 100%"
"Ichigo 100%" is an anime produced by Madhouse that is still popular as a school romantic comedy. In the original manga, the characters are portrayed very attractively, so when it was first made into a movie, there were some concerns that "Will they really be able to portray all the attractive characters in this work?", but it was a great success in making it into an anime.
The Irregular at Magic High School
The most famous work these days is probably "The Irregular at Magic High School". Like this work, it was originally a light novel posted on "Let's Become a Novelist", but this work was also made into a movie by Madhouse with perfect quality. Combined with the popularity of the original work, it is an anime work that still has many fans today.
