First published in book form! Contains all the storyboards for the second theatrical film directed by Satoshi Kon, who passed away young. This is a book that is worth reading, including interviews from the past.

Satoshi Kon, a genius director, passed away at the young age of 46 in 2010, leaving behind four feature films. Not only in Japan, but around the world, there are still many voices expressing regret for his talent.
Last year, the book "Satoshi Kon Storyboard Collection: Paprika'' (A5 size, paperback) published by our company was also well received and has been steadily reprinted. The second installment of the same format series of ?gSatoshi Kon Storyboard Collection?h is ?gMillennium Actress?h. He gained recognition as a director with his previous work "Perfect Blue,'' and this is an original work in which he served as the original idea, screenplay, character design, and director.

The origin of the story is just a two-line memo from the director himself -
"An old woman who was once hailed as a great actress is supposed to be telling her story, but her memories are confused. The various roles he played in the past begin to mix together, and the story becomes full of ups and downs. However, the completed work is based on those notes and is an experimental attempt to reconstruct the longing for the history of Japanese cinema through beautiful and powerful animation, and is a masterpiece of anime history. It became a masterpiece that remains.
