Ah~~ This is late to be saying this but about your
letters, people who say "I didn't get an answer!" really make me angry.
I'm
exhausted after all... To the people who write me, I'm just one
person...in a month I get over a thousand letters...in cardboard box after
cardboard box. I feel I must take the time to read them all. I'm sorry.
I do read them though. When I get them and they say "by _ month _ day",
you know there are times when it's already too late. Another request. To
those who send drawing paper and say "Please sign this and send it back"
Forgive me (double sweat drop) I can't send them back. I'm sorry. ;_; Seriously,
it wouldn't be good if I collasped... (triple sweat drop) People
around me tell me "You aren't going to collaspe" (double sweat drop) How
mean~
And now!! Changing the subject (ah, people who don't know what happens
in this volume yet, please read this later...) ...Tasuki-kun. That day,
news of "Tasuki's madness" went around the country...Really?
Well, the reaction from the Tasuki fans (a friend said it was "fanatical")
was amazing. (Laugh) There was quite a reaction to that artificial respiration
scene as well (Because he's typically stupid I purposely drew it that way)
but it was a really good scene, wasn't it? He lost a bit of the popularity
that he had gained up until now. Scary. And the fans have been divided
into the "total rage" faction and the "total delight" faction. From letters
that were against Miaka (out of envy) to "I've been waiting for this moment"
to "If Tasuki jumps into action, then what?" from the neutral faction (laugh)
to the people who were personally angry with Tasuki (they like him but)
"I want Miaka and Taka to realize love. Don't let him come between them!"
Um~hm,
how sweet.
