Histlink representative Saito is in charge of historical research on the popular TV anime “Young Master of Escapes”!
*Animation of “Jump Manga” set in the Nanbokucho period. Broadcasting from 23:30 on Saturday, July 6, 2024 on TOKYO MX, BS11 and 30 other stations nationwide! *
August 27, 2024
The historical spectacle manga currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump has been adapted into an anime! The animation production is “Bocchi Za Rock! “ CloverWorks, director: Yuta Yamazaki (Assistant Director of Wonder Egg Priority), and other geniuses have come together to create a historical story that uses dynamic images to convey the human drama of the war-torn era.
Taichi Saito, representative of HistLink, was in charge of “history supervision” of “Young Master of Escape” (Escape Waka), which was created by a great number of people!
We provide supervision to improve the quality and historical accuracy of animation details and to make it easier to convey historical charm. The supervision is provided by Mr. Atsushi Kawai (appeared on NHK’s “History Detective”), who is also a collaborator of Histlink.
Viewers commented, “Even though I’m interested in history, I haven’t really touched on the Nanbokucho period until now. Learning about it makes a lot of discoveries.” “Even children who haven’t learned history yet can easily come into contact with history.” It has been well received.
The “terminology explanation” on the official website is also supervised by Histolink’s Saito. If you read the glossary while watching the anime, you will be able to enjoy the world of “Young Master of Escape” even more.
(“Young Master of Escape” official website https://nigewaka.run/)
Histlink Co., Ltd. operates under the theme of “enriching the world with history.”
We aim to “turn unknown history into attraction, and turn unknown into desire to know.”
So far, I have been involved in recruiting members of the Okazaki Taiga Drama Museum Support Team in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and introducing instructors at related events, promoting a historical novel production project in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the construction of Shimabara Castle in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and promoting Norinaga Motoori’s work. We are involved in shrine revitalization projects, and are working on regional
revitalization through history.
In the future, we will continue to introduce human resources for historical research and supervision of anime, manga, stage plays, and other historical creations through History Link. We would be happy if anime production companies and others could feel free to contact us.
