Upon asking if there are chances that this title may receive an anime adaptaion in the future or not, Mr. Tamura replied, “We do have the track of which of our works are gaining popularity. Since these are KADOKAWA titles, there is a high possibility that it will receive an adaptation in future. However, we are unable to provide any further information for now. Sincere apologies.”
