Manga creator Rensuke Oshikiri (Hi Score Girl, Pupipō!) launched a crowdfunding campaign for his mini anime project Zashiki-Warashi no Tatami-chan (Tatami-chan the Guest Room Spirit) on October 25.
The staff aims to raise 5 million yen, acrylic key holders, T-shirts, Oshikiri’s original pilot video, the Blu-ray release, reproductions of the key art, theme song CDs, postcards, and production design collections.
The project would be Oshikiri’s directorial debut in anime, and he would also draw the art, write the scripts, draft the original character designs, and even voice the titular character.
