Studio MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen) announced a new original anime called Zenshu, which does not yet have a release date but has already received a visual and a trailer.
The story is about Natsuko Hirose, who after graduating from school begins her career as an animator, and she ends up making her debut as a director.
Her first anime ends up being very successful and she gains a lot of fame because of it, making her known as a “straight genius”. Her new project, however, will be a romantic comedy anime with the theme of first love.
However, Natsuko has never been involved in a romantic relationship, has never experienced love, so she has trouble understanding the concepts of first love and as a result, she is unable to create a storyboard, causing the project to stall.
Check out the look below:
