RELATED: The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store Anime Film Releases New Teaser Trailer
The Production I.G (Ghost in The Shell, PSYCHO-PASS) produced film is set for a release in Fall 2023. Yoshimi Itazu, who made his directorial debut with the 2017 TV anime Welcome to the Ballroom, helms his first anime feature film on a screenplay by Satomi Oshima (Raven of the Inner Palace). Chie Morita (Run with The Wind animation director) will work on the character designs, with tofubeats providing the soundtrack in cooperation with Utatane Kana, Wataru Sawabe (Skirt), and mochilon.
The manga was serialized in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Extra Issue and compiled in two tankobon volumes. It won the Excellence Award of the manga division of the 25th Japan Media Arts Festival held by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2022. The award’s official website describes the manga:
All kinds of animals, including ones that are a bit unfamiliar, visit the department store where I work.” Akino is a new concierge at the Hokkyoku Department Store, where all customers are animals. This is a series of short stories, portraying Akino’s growth as she learns about the mentality of being a concierge through her job. At this unusual department store with human clerks and animal customers, extinct animals come to consult with the concierges about items they are looking for or problems they have. As Akino tactfully solves the problems of the customers with a smile, her sincerity gradually softens difficult customers. Combining a job-themed genre with an animal manga element, this work features beautiful graphics. Its artistic details are also attractive, including the customers’ outfits in the glamorous department store and the Art Deco style interior of the store. Behind the story lies a critical eye toward issues such as our mass consumption society and environmental destruction, and the work stimulates the readers’ thoughts.
