"Ha, haha." Ms. Miyazaki laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment, "No wonder people in the industry say that Mr. Soru is very mysterious."

In fact, it’s not just this invisible script teacher.

The whole GENIE has a mysterious feeling.

However, as an animation company that mainly promotes monster stories, maybe a little mysterious temperament is not a bad thing?

…

Bunche Yaofei called Chiaki Miyake in the studio.

After a brief communication, I turned on the speakerphone and signaled Ms. Miyazaki to conduct the interview.

"Hello, Mr. Soru. I would like to ask you some questions about the new work "Katsutengu no Monster Retreat"."

"Well, feel free to ask."

The voice from Mr. Soru's side seemed to have been processed in some way, and it was not the original voice that was transmitted through the phone.

But it would be nice to be able to get in touch. Miss Miyazaki will naturally not care about this.

The dedicated hostess flipped through her notebook and found some questions she had prepared before:

""Miss Mary" and "Katsutengu's Monster Retreat" both revolve around the theme of monster stories. Can you please talk about the biggest difference between the two works?"

Chiaki Miyake responded eloquently: "Although they all tell stories about monsters, the plot of Miss Mary mainly revolves around modern times. Against this background, many modern urban ghost legends are incorporated. Even traditional monsters will be presented in a more modern way.

Shown in a modern way.”

"The initial stage of the story of "Katsutengu no Yokai Retreat" was set during the overthrow movement before the Meiji Restoration, not long after the Black Ship Incident."

"This is a special background of the times, and there is a lot worth describing. Feudalism is fighting against the emerging capital forces, and at the same time it is accompanied by the influx of Western ideological trends. There are disputes between feudal lords and heroes, and many townspeople who were originally at the bottom,

Ronin rises in the tide of the times. Against such a general background, the monster story unfolded from the perspective of the two protagonists, with traditional Japanese style and novelty, I believe it will give the audience a brand new visual experience."

Mari Miyazaki: "Well, what were the considerations behind the design of the male protagonist?"

Chiaki Miyake: "Crow, one of the protagonists, is the incarnation of the vanished Ainu belief in the Kamui Karasu Tengu. From the moment he appears on the scene, he has a negative attitude towards human nature and has a relatively rigid personality. However, deeper inside, he possesses the power of being a Kamui.

sense of justice."

"As for the second protagonist Ryuken Igarashi, as a representative image of the town people who have accumulated a certain amount of wealth in the context of the Overthrow Movement, he is young, optimistic, and willing to accept new things that emerge with the trend of Western thought. At the same time, he has the characteristics of a small citizen at that time.

Smooth character traits. The daily interactions between the two protagonists with completely different personalities can create many interesting sparks."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The story design of "Katsutengu's Monster Retreat" has two male protagonists.

Among them, Ryuken Igarashi is a descendant of a wealthy human businessman. He inherited the family wealth and is very business-savvy, but he doesn't like making money and doing business.

On the surface, he is a folklorist who is keen on writing articles and novels about supernatural phenomena. Privately, he relies on his strong inspiration ability to run a monster retreat house.

The story begins when Igarashi accidentally liberates the Ainu Tengu Kamui "Crow" in an ancient shrine during a mission.

Since then, the two have been acting together. Although sometimes Igarashi would play pranks and cause the two to quarrel, in the process of solving the incident, the relationship between the two began to change slowly, and they gradually accumulated a deep friendship...

In the main line of the story, although the two protagonists have contact with heroes from both forces, the Overlord and the Assistant, they have not directly participated in this vigorous social change movement of the times.

Chiaki Miyake only used the perspectives of the two protagonists to slowly unfold a luxurious and gorgeous picture of strange monsters with the style and temperament of a special era.

Basically this is the story.

Mari Miyazaki: "Also, I heard that Miss Mary, the much-loved protagonist of "Miss Mary," will also make a guest appearance in the new series."

Chiaki Miyake: "Yes, Miss Mary will appear as a supporting character in episode 10."

"But at that time, there seemed to be no telephones, right?" Miyazaki, who had done his homework, chuckled.

Miyake on the other end of the phone also laughed: "This involves the origin story of how Miss Mary was born. Perhaps the tenth chapter of the new series can be regarded as an independent story about how Mary, who came across the ocean at that time, related to the God of Fortune.

Prequel. We at GENIE want to create a splendid monster universe."

Chiaki Miyake did not hide GENIE’s “ambition”.
