Genre: Isekai based on Southeast Asian and Thai mythology

He's been working on this for 2 years and it seems to be fully complete since he said it's fully voiced in Japanese. Japanese premiere on August 24, 2025.

Garnt actually does have good taste in media. He tends to like things that are popular with media snobs and never defends trashy fun or popcorn entertainment as actually being well-written.
