The anime, set in the prefecture of Iwate, joins Bakuten!! and Hula Fulla Dance as part of a larger campaign to promote Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima, respectively. The "Zutto en Project 2011 + 10..." commemorates the tenth anniversary of the 2011 Thoku earthquake and tsunami.
Shinya Kawatsura (Non Non Biyori, Sagrada Reset, Kokoro Connect) is directing the anime at David Production, and the script is written by Reiko Yoshida (K-ON!, Violet Evergarden, Liz and the Blue Bird). Kamogawa is in charge of the film's character design, and Yuri Miyauchi is in charge of the music.
Kashiwaba's first novel was published in 2015, and it won the 2016 Noma Award for Juvenile Fiction. Kashiwaba also wrote the novel Chikashitru Kara no Fushigi na Tabi (Strange Journey From The Basement), which served as the inspiration for Keiichi Hara's film The Wonderland.
