With the captain’s guidance and consideration, Ira spoke with the principal and vice principal for just under two hours to research the island manga. On the other hand, there was almost no time to take photos of the village, so the photos are biased towards the local area. Photographs taken inside the school building were taken with permission for the purpose of creating the manga. There are no plans to post any photos that have not been turned into illustrations on social media.
