Animation Seisaku Shinkou Kuromi-chan

Mikiko Oguro arrives at Studio Petit eager to turn her love of animation into a career. Instead of easing into her first job, she inherits responsibility for keeping an episode of Time Journeys moving toward an unforgiving deadline.

Now called Kuromi, she must chase unfinished work, coordinate artists with clashing temperaments, and make sense of a production already under strain. The dream of creating animation becomes a demanding lesson in everything required to get drawings onto the screen.
