"越野七米神 こめかみっ！" (Koshino-nanamaishin Komekami!) is a character driven project that aims to revitalize local regions. Fukuoka was the launch pad for the initiative, which began in 2010. It has grown steadily since that time. A number of Fukuoka-based manga artists and creators have been involved. The project has involved the development of short animated videos and the publication of light novels! An anime / manga titled the "Komekami! Girls" is currently in production! The story revolves around seven rice spirits / sisters who are reborn 10 years on from the original. The group hold rice cooking battles all over Japan in attempt to find their mother (米女王 / the Queen of Rice). A promotional video was screened at the "MCPO AWARD 2019" award ceremony event to help generate interest in the project. Rough sketches from the production process were also displayed, providing visitors with more information about the plot!
