Comment from Okina Bana (writer)

Celebration! The anime planning is in progress! I am Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?‘s writer Okina Baba. We were able to make a happy announcement!

Yay, [clapping]! This is all thanks to the readers that have supported us! Thank you very much!

Comment from Tsukasa Kiryu (illustrator)

As a fan too, I am overwhelmed and can’t really express these feelings in words. I’m excited to see how Kumoko will change from being the lowest in class to surviving the labyrinth and if her life will be inspired by her classmates’ performance.
