"Even as a slave, seeking knowledge is the duty of a Muslim"—despite being taught this, Sitara, who hates studying, tries to find an opening to escape. Seeing her crying and shouting, "If I study, my price will go up, and I don't want to be sold far away," viewers commented, "So that's why she was pretending to be incompetent."
However, the words spoken by Muhammad, the son of a scholarly family—"If you become wise, no matter what kind of trouble happens, you will know what is best to do"—quietly change Sitara's way of life. For a girl in the position of a slave with almost no room for choice, could there have been a sharper word of hope?
In this article, we delve deep into the production secret that this story was originally conceived with Dregene as the protagonist, the historical fiction as "intellectual play" described by the original author Tomato Soup, and the true identity of the historical "witch" Fatima Hatun.
The relentless historical facts lurking behind the cute art style. The contrast embedded in the title "Things in the Heavens, Things on the Earth." The temperature of the story bound together by two melodies: SEKAI NO OWARI's "Stella" and Queen Bee's "Star."
