Sugitani, posting under the the pen name Ningen Plamo ("Human Plastic Model"), began posting the Pompo: The Cinéphile (Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san) manga on the pixiv website in April 2017. Positive word-of-mouth on social networking sites and elsewhere has since led to over 500,000 views of the manga. The manga was nominated for the 11th Manga Taisho awards in 2018. Sugitani launched the spinoff manga Fran: The Cinéphile (Eiga Daisuki Fran-chan NYALLYWOOD STUDIOS SERIES) on the pixiv Comic website in July 2018.
Pompo: The Cinéphile inspired an anime film that opened in June 2021. Takayuki Hirao (The Garden of Sinners movie 5, God Eater) directed the film at CLAP. The anime film premiered in North America at Montreal's 25th Fantasia International Film Festival in August 2021. GKIDS began screening the film in the U.S. in April 2022.
