However, Toho quickly decided to call it "Godzilla-kun". At that time, I may or may not have fainted. And Janus, who designed the logo for Godzilland, cried and despite the fact that everyone tried to cheer him up, it was still tough for him. Also, Moo cried just from seeing him cry. Godzilla-kun was written in only two months, so I gave it my all and worked day and night towards the end. I don't know whether or not the aftermath was a blow to him, but Jemini flew into a rage and kicked a garbage bin over some English related thing. Furthermore, because he also kicked a desk, he's been complaining that his leg hurts. And everyone lived happily ever after?! ** ** ** **** ** ** **** ** ** **** ** ************* ** ******* ******* *** *** ********* ************* *** * * *** *** *** **************** **************** *** *** ********** ************ **** **** **** **** **** **** ************ **********
