In Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture, where the popular women’s soccer manga ” Farewell, My Dear Cramer ” is set, there has been a lot of movement to promote the city as a “sacred place for anime”, triggered by the TV animation of the work. Warabi City, which is a densely populated residential area, has few distinctive sights and landmarks and has not been blessed with the opportunity to set the stage for anime and movies. The people concerned are enthusiastic about promoting the city widely through the work. “Farewell, My Dear Cramer” is a work featuring Nozomi Onda, who is active in the women’s soccer club (commonly known as ” Warabizu “) of the fictitious ” Warabi High School”, and the scenery of the city such as JR Warabi Station and Kawaguchi- Warabi Bridge. Is drawn in detail. Broadcasting of TV animation will begin in April, and the movie will be released in mid-June. “Cramer” in the title of the work refers to German Dettmar Cramer, who served as the leader of the Japan national football team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and is called the “father of Japanese soccer”. The city will start an exhibition about the anime version at the City History and Folklore Museum on June 5, in line with the video work. In addition, a banner with an illustration of the characters will be set up in the schoolyard of Municipal Daiichi, which seems to have become a model for the junior high school that the main character attended. The Municipal Library has a special corner where all 14 volumes of the manga version can be rented, and posters promoting the city and anime are also posted at public facilities in the city. Prior to the start of the TV anime broadcast, voice actor Miyuri Shimabukuro, who plays the role of Nozomi Onda, visited the city hall and met with Mayor Hideo Yoritaka. Mr. Shimabukuro said, “Warabeads are struggling in the town of Warabi. I want the citizens to support me as a member of the same town.” (Tomotaka Nakamura)
