M. M. Wonderland began devling into the world of animation when she realized it was the ideal media the movie for Hearts & Stones. For her first short animation, she was inspired by Japanese images and ideas she had collected. She created Radio Sick, a story set in urban Japan that explores both physical and spiritual concepts.

M. M.’s Tsukumogami - objects that have gained a soul - are set in an urban environment. The main villain is Tenner, a monster hunter who hunts them down for vengeance and profit.
