If there's
one thing every tired adult from the office needs, it's a gigantic dose of
peace of mind. In 2019, the animated adaptation of The Helpful Fox
Senko-san (Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san) became exactly that
safe haven for thousands of viewers, offering a soothing story that felt like a
true embrace to the soul. Several years have passed since then, and although
many had already given up hope of seeing more episodes, the original
creator of the work has just lit up the networks with a message full
of optimism.
A direct
call to animation studios
Through his
official platforms, the author shared his feelings in an extremely genuine and
direct way. He confessed that, of course, he deeply wants to do a
second season. He made it clear to the entire community that there is still
a lot of material in the original story to adapt and that his personal
motivation is through the roof. Basically, the ball is now in the producers'
court. The creator took advantage of the space to invite any interested
production committee to contact his editorial department, assuring that they
are always with the doors open to negotiate.

原作のストックも沢山ありますし僕の気合だけはいつだって十分、関係各所の皆様よろしくお願いしますといったところ
海の向こうの熱烈なファンの皆様のことももちろん把握しています、いつもありがとう😘
A rather
emotional detail was that he did not forget the international audience. The
artist proved to be fully aware of the passionate support of fans
overseas, thanking all the enthusiasm they continue to send him despite the
anime ending quite some time ago. These words sounded like a huge ray of hope
for those who believed that the series had been abandoned in the trunk of
memories.
The hope
of tired office workers
For those
who don't remember well, the premise of this franchise followed Nakano, an
office worker physically and mentally destroyed by one of Japan's fearsome
"black companies." His life takes a turn when Senko-san, an
800-year-old fox spirit trapped in the body of a little girl, decides to move
in with him to take care of him, cook for him and give him that much-needed
rest. It was an instant success thanks to the brilliant work
of the Doga Kobo studio, who managed to perfectly capture that
atmosphere of healing that characterizes the work so much.
Seeing the
original author take the initiative to revive his own work in the animated
format is something quite rare and worth celebrating. Knowing that the creator
has already taken the first step and the printed material is ready to be used.
