During the prize ceremony, the staff and production studio for the anime was also announced. Famed director Junichi Satō will direct the anime at studio NAGOMI. The release date or cast details of the anime haven’t been revealed as of yet. As the title suggests, the plot of Puri’s story revolves around a woman, who’s mother is a heroine.
