The magic show by the wonderful production team is, happily, not over yet, and they seem to be showing us the continuation with the highest quality! Viewers may have been surprised, thinking ‘Eh! It continues here!?’ but as the original author, I want to give my seal of approval that it is worth the wait! Let us wait together with anticipation for the crystallization of the dedication and passion created by many magicians!”

Director Watanabe Ayumu said: “Thank you for watching the 1st season! The magic that Coco and the others weave by creating each stroke. We too have carefully built up each episode and stayed close to the story. And that will continue. The story becomes bigger, deeper, and speaks to Coco and the others about learning and discovery in magic. New locations that appear. Characters that Coco and the others meet. The many spells that deepen in meaning as they learn about the world…! We will put even more heart into it and draw it with excitement for the adventure. Please look forward to it!”
