Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga went on indefinite hiatus in 2020 due to the author's health; the anime covers only the first four volumes and invented its own finale.
The golem originates from Jewish folklore as a clay servant, but here becomes a meditation on constructed masculinity and emotional repression.
