Tokyo, Japan, 24th Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Japanese title: Tenmaku no Ja’dugar)—the highly acclaimed historical manga that has already sparked major anticipation both in Japan and internationally ahead of its broadcast—hosted an exclusive special panel at Anime Expo 2026, North America’s largest anime convention, which kicked off on July 2, 2026, in Los Angeles. 

The high-profile event featured an esteemed lineup of creators, including Executive Director Naoko Yamada, Animation Producers Rie Misumi from Science SARU, and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi. In addition to treating fans to an exclusive advanced screening of Episodes 1 and 2, the panel offered a deep dive into the making of the series, with the creators sharing behind-the-scenes production stories and discussing the unique appeal of the upcoming anime adaptation.

Episodes 1 & 2 Make US Premiere: Stunning Visuals Spark Roaring Cheers from the Audience

Executive Director Naoko Yamada, and Animation Producer Rie Misumi from Science SARU and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi; Reveal Behind-the-Scenes Insights and Anime Production Secrets

The U.S. Premiere of the TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia drew a packed house of passionate fans eager to catch the series at the earliest opportunity. As the large screen brought to life the breathtaking animation by Science SARU, the meticulously crafted worlds of Persia and Mongolia, and the profound drama of Sitara defying her harsh destiny, the room erupted into a thunderous standing ovation and roaring cheers, marking a spectacular stateside debut.

Following the screening, Executive Director Naoko Yamada, alongside Animation Producer Rie Misumi from Science SARU and Producer Kazuki Endo from TV Asahi, took the stage to kick off a panel session, where they revealed exclusive behind-the-scenes insights and anime production secrets.

When asked by the moderator about the journey leading to the anime adaptation, TV Asahi’s Producer Kazuki Endo explained his passionate drive to bring the project to life: “It all started when I read the original manga. I found it incredibly fascinating, and the grand historical drama completely charmed me—I knew I had to adapt it myself. However, I also realized that the content would be quite challenging for a standard anime adaptation. Creatively speaking, I felt Science SARU was the only studio capable of pulling it off, which is why I reached out to them.”

The discussion then turned to how this star-studded creative team was assembled. Animation Producer Rie Misumi shared the background behind the impressive lineup: “Director Abel Góngora has always loved Heidi, Girl of the Alps, and we felt there were thematic echoes that would resonate beautifully with this title. On top of that, this series offers a completely different type of drama compared to his previous directorial works, such as Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and DAN DA DAN. We extended the offer with great anticipation to see the fresh directorial perspective he would bring to this project.

As for Executive Director Naoko Yamada, she had the opportunity to read the original manga and developed a deep interest in the settings of Persia and Mongolia. She found the prospect of collaborating with Director Abel Góngora and a fresh creative team highly stimulating, which happily led to her joining as Executive Director.

For the character designs, we heard that Character Designer and Sakuga Chief Kenichi Yoshida was already a huge fan of the original manga. His previous work in character design has been phenomenal, and this marked the very first time Science SARU has had the privilege of collaborating with him.

Finally, for the background art—which is one of the absolute highlights of this series—we reached out to Yuri Kabasawa, who previously served as the art director for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. That is how this incredibly luxurious creative team came together.”

It was also revealed that Director Abel Góngora handled the storyboarding and episode direction for Episode 1, while Executive Director Naoko Yamada spearheaded Episode 2. Showcasing actual storyboards and production materials, the team shared their creative choices during production.

On behalf of Director Abel Góngora, Animation Producer Rie Misumi commented on the scene at the beginning of Episode 1 where Sitara runs through the city: “This is a completely anime-original sequence that does not exist in the original manga. I was told that the director decided to include it because he found the ancient Persian cities to be breathtakingly beautiful and charming, and he wanted to showcase as much of that splendor as possible within the series. Furthermore, although Sitara is set to be only five years old at this point in the story, the scene was also designed to highlight her immense ‘courage’ as she escapes from a slave market.”

When asked about the challenges faced in creating this original sequence, Animation Producer Rie Misumi explained: “Since this is a historical piece, we put a lot of effort into researching reference materials to understand what Persia was like as a city during that era. It was also a challenge to figure out how to make her escape visually entertaining. However, thanks to the participation of Shuto Enomoto—an exceptionally talented animator who handled the layout and key animation—the sequence turned out wonderful.”

Through these insights, she shed light on the reasons for incorporating the anime-original direction and explained how they meticulously captured the unique atmosphere of the streets and culture within the visuals.

Meanwhile, Executive Director Naoko Yamada discussed the direction behind the conversation between Sitara and Fatima in Episode 2, contrasting it with the previous episode: “Episode 1, handled by Director Abel Góngora, features many energetic scenes of Sitara running happily through the city she loves, hinting at a bright and peaceful future ahead. In sharp contrast, for Episode 2, we placed an immense value on the dialogue scenes, as I wanted to meticulously portray a true ‘connection of hearts.’ While there is relatively less action and physical movement in this episode, we focused heavily on subtle facial acting and emotional depth, which shaped the overall flow of the episode.”

Regarding a moving scene featuring Sitara, Executive Director Naoko Yamada shared her approach to conveying profound emotional expression through symbolic imagery: “The pomegranates appearing in the story were a very deliberate choice. Since the pomegranate is a flower that blooms in Sitara’s homeland of Persia, it serves as a powerful symbol of her beloved roots. Furthermore, as the pomegranate fruit traditionally symbolizes prosperity and the continuation of life, we carefully depicted it to visually capture Sitara’s enduring love for her homeland and her unyielding hope for the future, wishing for her ultimate happiness ahead.”

The event also introduced the meticulous production process behind the character designs and art boards. The panel highlighted a memorable close-up of Sitara’s expression, revealing how the creative team went through multiple revisions with Character Designer and Sakuga Chief Kenichi Yoshida.

To bring the memorable event to a close, each guest expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the international fans, leading into a group photo session with the entire audience.

At the moderator’s suggestion, the venue united to send their energy to the absent director. “Let’s make sure our voices reach Director Abel Góngora, who unfortunately couldn’t be here today! Ready, set—Abel!” On cue, the packed house of fans echoed a roaring, passionate cheer throughout the hall, bringing the wildly successful panel to a spectacular conclusion.

The TV anime Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia premiered on Saturday, July 4th, and is currently broadcasting to high acclaim on TV Asahi’s “IMAnimation” block, BS Asahi, and other networks in Japan. For fans around the globe, the series is now streaming on Crunchyroll.

Press Release

Break Into Tech Announces Expansion into the US Graduate Technology Sales Market

Published

58 minutes ago

on

November 2, 2026

By

London, United Kingdom, November 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Break Into Tech, a UK-based graduate training and placement company, has announced its expansion into the United States, extending its tech sales training and placement programme to graduates in the US.

The expansion marks the next stage of the company’s development, bringing its industry-focused training, mentoring and employer partnership model to a wider graduate market while continuing its work with employers and candidates in the UK.

The announcement comes as the UK faces significant challenges in graduate employment, with recruitment opportunities declining across several sectors.

According to High Fliers Research, which has tracked Britain’s leading graduate employers for over 30 years, graduate recruitment has fallen 24.5% since 2022. That is a steeper decline than during both the Covid pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. The Financial Times reported that graduate positions fell a further 33% in 2025 alone, to the lowest level since 2018. Job search platform Adzuna also found that by July 2026, graduate-level vacancies had declined 45% year-on-year, dropping to 8,383.

Official ONS data shows that over one million 16-to-24-year-olds are classified as NEET (not in education, employment or training), the highest figure in over a decade. Youth unemployment for 18-to-24-year-olds has risen to 14.5%. The Guardian reported that more than one in four young people say they have already avoided job applications because they fear AI will replace those roles.

Company Background

Break Into Tech was founded by husband-and-wife team Milan Gool and Lara Gool. Milan, a current Stability AI employee and former Google employee, spent seven years in the tech industry, where he identified a gap between companies seeking sales talent and graduates seeking employment.

“I co-founded an AI company through Antler, the accelerator programme that has produced unicorns here in the UK,” Milan explains. “When we started hiring, I felt the pressure of finding young talent first-hand. Graduates had degrees but no commercial skills. Companies had roles but no pipeline. There was no real solution before Break Into Tech.”

Lara, a former corporate lawyer turned COO, saw the same gap from the operational side. Together they built a training and placement programme for graduates with no tech experience. The company reports that participants typically secure tech sales roles within 37 days.

Graduate Placements and Company Growth

Break Into Tech reports that, in under two years, it has placed over 629 graduates into tech sales roles, generating more than £4.6 million in combined student salaries. The company holds a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating and has built hiring partnerships with over 200 companies, including TikTok, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, HubSpot, PayPal, Stripe and AlphaSense.

The company grew almost entirely through organic content, amassing over 400,000 followers across social media in one year. Break Into Tech has also earned endorsement from the Institute of Sales Professionals (ISP), the UK’s chartered body for sales excellence, giving graduates an industry-recognised certification.

Programme Participant Experience

Georgia Young, a former hairdresser earning £18,000 a year, joined the accelerator programme and secured a six-figure tech sales role. She subsequently joined the Break Into Tech team to support the company’s mission of helping one million graduates around the world break into tech. In eight months, she has amassed over 200,000 followers on social media.

Tech Sales Training and Employment Opportunities

Break Into Tech’s programme focuses on preparing graduates for technology sales roles through practical training and employer connections. According to the company, typical starting salaries for tech sales development representatives range from £40,000 to £55,000, with potential on-target earnings exceeding £100,000 within one to two years.

The programme combines a proprietary in-house AI platform, daily one-to-one mentoring from experts working in the tech industry, and access to proprietary interview data from thousands of hiring partners.

United States Expansion

The company’s expansion into the United States extends its training and placement model to the country’s graduate technology sales market. The move comes as artificial intelligence continues to influence recruitment and workplace requirements.

The UK government’s AI Labour Market Survey 2025 found that only 13% of graduate schemes include AI training, highlighting a gap in the preparation of graduates for workplaces increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.

“The graduate job market is not broken,” says Milan. “It has shifted. The opportunities are there. They have just moved. Our job is to show people where they have moved to, and get them there as fast as possible.”

Through its expansion, Break Into Tech intends to extend its training and placement model to a wider graduate market while continuing its work with employers and candidates in the UK.

About Break Into Tech

Break Into Tech is a UK-based graduate training and placement company founded by Milan Gool and Lara Gool. The company helps graduates with no prior tech experience prepare for careers in technology sales through industry-focused training, one-to-one mentoring, an in-house AI platform and employer partnerships. Its mission is to help one million graduates around the world break into tech.

Mountain View, California, November 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Through Tango for Good, the global live-streaming platform contributed tens of thousands of dollars to a cultural initiative promoting peace and unity, reinforcing its commitment to communities where it operates.

Tango, a global social live-streaming platform connecting creators and audiences worldwide, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to support a peace initiative in Cyprus, reinforcing its commitment to contributing to communities in countries where it operates.

The contribution supported the International Peace Concert, a cultural event initiated by the American Medical Center in Cyprus that brought together musicians and audiences around a shared message of peace, unity, and human connection.

The donation is part of Tango for Good, the company’s social impact initiative focused on supporting charitable causes, local organizations, and community projects, particularly in countries where Tango maintains an operational presence.

Supporting a Message of Peace from Cyprus

Held in Cyprus earlier this year, the International Peace Concert brought together more than 150 musicians from across Europe for a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, including the iconic Ode to Joy.

Tango joined the initiative as a supporting partner, contributing financially to help bring the event to life.

In a letter of appreciation, Dr. Marinos Soteriou, Founder and Director of the American Medical Center, thanked Tango for its significant contribution and commitment to an initiative that originated in Cyprus and aimed to bring people together through music.

Tango for Good: Giving Back Where We Operate

For Tango, supporting the initiative reflects a broader philosophy: companies should be active participants in the communities where they operate.

While Tango connects millions of people through live-streaming experiences, Tango for Good extends that commitment through charitable contributions, partnerships, and community-focused initiatives.

With an established operational presence in Cyprus, Tango sees supporting local organizations and meaningful initiatives as part of its responsibility toward the communities around it.

“Cyprus is an important part of our operations,” said Dor Isseroff, Chief Operating Officer at Tango. “We’re proud to support an initiative that brings people together around a message of peace. Connection is at the heart of what we do, and music has a unique ability to create that connection across cultures and borders. Through Tango for Good, we want to support initiatives that make a positive difference in the communities we’re part of.”

About Tango

Tango is a leading social live-streaming platform built around real-time human connection. Through live conversations, shared experiences, and creator-led communities, Tango brings people from around the world together to interact, discover new personalities, and form meaningful connections. With a global community of more than 500 million registered users, Tango makes online interaction feel more immediate, personal, and human.

Through Tango for Good, the company supports charitable causes, connects with local communities, and impacts social initiatives in the countries where it operates.
