An Extract from Kanna Kii’s Statement:

Hello, this is Kanna Kii.

Thanks to all L’étranger de la plage readers, this story is being made into an anime. I am currently on the job along with the rest of the production team. The studio is quiet and my coworkers are a joy to work with. Together we are polishing L’étranger de la plage to perfection. There is still quite a way to go before we finish but I hope you are looking forward to it!
