The serialization is coming to an end, but I’m fortunate enough to have it adapted into an anime! The old man moves! You can hear the sound of ramen being slurped! The home economics club members talk! …It’s hard to put into words, I don’t know if it’s amazing or not. The series will air next year, and the remaining comics will be out by then, so I’m thinking of doing something personally. It’s hard to tell whether Killuao is amazing or not, so please continue to enjoy it and look forward to the anime with a relaxed attitude. ■TV anime “Kill Ao” basic information Original work: Tadatoshi Fujimaki ( Shueisha Jump Comics) Volume 10.
