‘I wondered if people could coexist peacefully with other organisms or mutants different from themselves.
‘Gray could mean the mixture of these two different types of agents. That’s why we called the working group Grey.
‘Color also means the duality of coexistence. The original work talks about the theme of coexistence, and we wanted to delve into that [idea of] coexistence between people, human beings and parasites.
“And the main character, Su-in, also finds herself in the gray area between the human world and the parasite world.”
