| The story really reminds me a lot of https://myanimelist.net/manga/6624/Zettai_Heiwa_Daisakusen For being a one volume manga, it seems to have been really well-received. I'll keep an eye out for this one 👀 |
dispute over removing dog waste We fought for love, we fought for glory, we fought for land for riches ... but nothing compares to waging war for ... a dog poop ? |
 |
| Oh, if only in real life wars would be solved so easily. |
 |
| Reading the title made me think “Sora no Iro Mizu no Iro” :) |
 |
| The reason for war lmao. |
 |
| Huh a little Romeo and Juliet kinda story... okay |

| Not the most unique storyline but maybe the film in itself will be great lol |
| Is this a win for us shoujo fans?!?! Looks like my type of thing regardless, I'm sold lol |
 |
| Yeah, looks like another one of those cliché love stori- a dispute over removing dog waste ultimately turned into a war ...what?Kidding aside, it looks interesting, especially with Madhouse involved. |
| looks like a classic theme with that color choices. i figure this one would be a rollercoaster ride. |
| I’m always down for some more Josei anime, but wtf is that synopsis? Makes it sound like it’ll be a little more goofy than it seems. Now i’m really curious. |
| can’t wait for this to become my only source of serotonin for several months |
| "Country A?" "Country B?" Did someone's unfinished notes get adapted, or what? If they wanted to not name either, there are far more natural ways to go about it. "The West kingdom and the East kingdom," "The Empire and the Republic," and so on. This is just awkward and lazy. Immediate loss of interest. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |

Well that's just even stranger, then there's absolutely no reason to list them as A and B other than inattentiveness. |

| shoujo adaptation.. and a MOVIE at that too!! taking my w once again o77 synopsis is okay but im interested, hoping their age difference isnt .. (too) Weird bc it kiiinda looks like that from the poster😅😅😅 12 yr old getting chased by a 23 yr old |
| Damn, Btooom director after so many years. She handled a lot of episodes for Chihayafuru series so this should be decent at least and then maybe take over that once Morio Asaka retires. |
