The reason for the year 1996 was that it changed from a primary school to an elementary school, so we set this era. If I mention the IMF, I think there will be too many stories, so I set 1996 as the background. I couldn't do a lot of historical research visually, but I tried to historically research people's emotions and figures. I wanted to focus on the reaction of the characters." Intent was introduced.
