Shinobu Saito said in an interview that it took a total of 15 years from conception to completion of this book, including one year spent on the draft! She personally visited various stores to collect materials. In her mind, the most difficult thing to draw was the pharmacy. It took a lot of stamina to draw the small boxes one by one.
