Hello, Nakatani here. Sorry for the long silence... ...No, it was really long. I was shocked to check the date on my last book. Winter before last. This time we had a Suzunaan book. While thinking up the story, I couldn't help but feel like it had a mood very similar to the official works, but by the time I did the paneling and turned it into a manga, it was nothing of the sort. Strange, isn't it? By total coincidence, the timing ended up matching the end of Forbidden Scrollery, too. Had the last part come out one month sooner, who knows, I have a feeling this book might've been different as well. Yukari...... It seems like it'll be a while before I can make it to another event, but I want to keep working on doujin and looking for a chance to attend. Hope you'll check out my original series, too!
