Synopsis
Kosugi challenges Nanamine to a competition, with the condition that if Nanamine loses, he must properly collaborate with him as author and editor. Takagi and Nakai point out the impracticality of Nanamine's approach to managing a large group of contributors, leading to a loss of support and a drop in rankings. After considering giving up, Nanamine is convinced by Kosugi to continue, and later sets his sights on Ashirogi Muto as a rival. Meanwhile, Mashiro is celebrated as a celebrity at an elementary school reunion.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
