In addition, the website announced that the original text of Rei Hiroe's original story for the anime will serialize on Shogakukan's Sunday Webry website under the title Re:CREATORS Naked beginning on April 9.
The show's site describes the story:
Humans have created many stories. Joy, sadness, anger, deep emotion. Stories shake our emotions, and fascinate us. However, these are only the thoughts of bystanders. But what if the characters in the story have "intentions"? To them, are we god-like existences for bringing their story into the world? Our world is changed. Mete out punishment upon the realm of the gods. In Re:CREATORS, everyone becomes a Creator.
