The manga’s editor in charge, Shintaro Kawakubo says, “When I received the proposal from the publicity department, I replied, ‘Well, I’m sure the fans will be able to achieve it easily.’ But when I heard the actual price and number of copies, I was nervous inside. As you all know, the book sold out in less than two minutes, and the Guinness World Records was achieved. I’d like to thank Tosho Insatsu for making such a wonderful book that is worth the price, and all the fans who are always willing to support the series together. Thank you so much!”
