Fun Facts
- The Japanese title 'Yomi no Tsugai' literally translates to 'The Hinge of the Underworld.'
- Lead actors Kensho Ono and Yume Miyamoto actually visited Arakawa’s personal studio. They described the room as being 'surrounded by Tsugai,' with sketches and reference materials covering the walls, which gave them a massive burst of energy for their roles.
