Yamamoto in 2016

In 2016, Yamamoto and Kusaka were both awarded the Comic-Con International's Inkpot Award. Later that year, they were also awarded the Mejor Kodoma Manga award in the XXII Salón del Manga de Barcelona.

According to Yamamoto, the design of Violet was based on his own customizable player character in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. At first, he had the default hairstyle, but felt that it wouldn't be too distinguishable from Ortega. He showed the list of hairstyles in the game's strategy guide to members of his family, asking which one looked like a prince, and based Violet's design on their suggestions.
