Ooh, the last. Ah~ is it because recently the class of readers has expanded that I'm getting a few difficult letters as well? (Laugh) For example, am I a Chinese specialist? Because if they say even practical things (Painful laugh) I'm "What's that? I don't know" (Laugh) In spite of reading history books and books on special fields, I've forgotten it all. I was a stickler for details in the very beginning when I was creating the story. That has all gone out the window. (Laugh) I learned "Aah, does it have any direct relation with the interest of the manga?" Even concerning "The 4 Gods" I also looked at specialty books (I didn't know why) but before long I wasn't concerned. There isn't any special info on "The 4 Gods" and I found the "28 constellations" only by chance. When I laid that out it didn't make the "story" come together. ^^; In a letter from a male who had the opinion "A world view structure is also important in an original series but above all else don't you have to captivate your readers and pull them along? I think manga, novels, and movies appeal to emotions more than intellect" I agree. (Laugh) I learn a lot from getting all kinds of opinions. Thank you. It's terrible since "FY" is created in my world view but...
Ah! People who sent me dojinshi, they were interesting! "You've probably have gotten a lot but" ...Hmf...I haven't everyone!! It's not fair for you to keep all the fun to yourselves. (Laugh) "It'll make you angry" That depends on the person. I've already seen adult books so it's OK. (Laugh) Everyone, show some courage!! Just once I'd like to see a male/male one... Gasp. Uh-oh!! So long!! Sutatatata <Sound effect of Watase running away>
