Director Ryūichi Honda (Dance Till Tomorrow, Cutie Honey The Live episodes) has been shooting the film from late August to early September. Yanagisawa serialized the manga from 2001 to 2006, and Bunkasha compiled and published two books volumes.
Yanagisawa's romance manga Aoki Honoo spawned a video anime in 1989. His salaryman action manga Tokumei Kakarichō Tadano Hitoshi (Special Mission Section Chief Hitoshi Tadano) also inspired four live-action television series and a film. That manga series spawned a spinoff manga called Tokumei Joshi Ana Namino Yōko (Special Mission Female Announcer Yōko Namino) about a female television announcer who doubles as a secret corporate agent, and the spinoff in turn inspired two films.
