The film is an adaptation of an autobiographical book by the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The book tells Kuroyanagi’s story when she was enrolled in Tomoe Gakuen, a Tokyo elementary school founded by educator Sosaku Kobayashi. It was originally published as a series of articles in Kodansha’s Young Woman magazine from February 1979 to December 1980. Later in 1981, Kodansha collected all the articles into a book. Today, the book has been translated into 35 languages, including Indonesia.
The film adaptation of the book was announced on 20 March 2023. The film is directed by Shinnosuke Yakuwa, with Yakuwa and Yosuke Suzuki writing the scripts, Shizue Kaneko designing the characters, and animated by Shin-Ei Animation.
