The title Despera is taken from a poem of the same title by Japanese Dadaist poet Jun Tsuji. Though the title of Tsuji's poem comes from the word "despair" or "desperation",[1] the official blog for the anime stated that it can also imply the Spanish word desperado.[2] A graphic novel serialization related to the anime was published in the Japanese magazine Animage from July 2009 to July 2010.
