Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming anime adaptation of Trillion Game. The manga and live-action series have already proven to be very popular, so I have high hopes for the anime. I think it will be a great way to introduce even more people to this exciting story.
I'm also really interested to see how the anime will adapt the story. The manga and live-action series are both very different, so it will be interesting to see how the anime team decides to handle the differences. I'm confident that they will do a great job, and I can't wait to see the finished product.
