CATDOLL: The author of "Colorful World of Phantom Flame" reveals his sad past: his parents were seriously ill when he was writing

The highly anticipated new January anime "Much Colors of Phantom Flame: World of Spirits" is adapted from the novel by Soichirō Hatano. Following Kyoto Animation's previous precedent of "magic changes" to its works, many parts of the anime "Much Colors of Phantom Flame: World of Spirits" have been added and revised. The heroine Mai Kawagami shows her naked body without reservation, with constant ambiguous hints. As a result, the work has been criticized by the audience as "a world of selling flesh without bottom line."

Although there are a lot of eye-catching welfare shots to enjoy, the booking situation of BD and DVD on Amazon Japan is not very ideal. Under the depression, the original author Soichiro Hatano recently revealed his sad past on Twitter...

A tweet posted by Soichiro Hatano, the author of "Phantom World: Infinite Colors", on January 20

Although this world is full of pain, never give up. Because Hatano Soichiro himself went through a period of depression to achieve his current success. When he was writing "Unlimited Colors of Spirits", his mother suffered a cerebral infarction and his father was seriously ill with kidney cancer.

Even in such a difficult environment, Soichiro Hatano insisted on completing the novel, which is very inspiring in a sense. If KyoAni's animation can attract more readers or viewers to be interested in this work, I believe the original author will also be very pleased...

The sales ranking of the first volume of BD is 360th in the animation category, and the sales ranking of DVD is 538th

Chicken soup for the soul is good, but the reality is not optimistic. According to statistics from Amazon Japan, the first volume of "Phantom World of Infinite Colors" BD ranked 360th in the animation category, and the DVD ranked 538th. It is an unspoken fact that popularity is not proportional to sales, but will such dismal sales be a blow to Soichiro Hatano again? However, the new January series has just started to be broadcasted. Can it make a comeback and save the defeat? Let's wait and see.
