At the Ishinomori Manga Museum, an animated short directed by Takuya Inaba premiered, drawing from Shotaro Ishinomori's semi-autobiographical, wordless comic Jun: Shotaro no Fantasy World. The film was inspired by Ishinomori's birthplace, Ishinomaki, aiming to honor the original creation while also commemorating the city"s ongoing reconstruction efforts and the resilience of its residents after the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami today.
