Ohh, real soon "Twin Peaks" will start! Today is Saturday. Day off for Shokakukan! So why is my editor calling me? Shocomi editing works on Saturday and Sunday too. Let's give the Oniisans and Oneesans some applause. Well, there wasn't any dramas along with this recently. I think "Sekai Fushigi Hakken!" and "Wonder Zone" are interesting. And "TV Special Investigation Bureau" was it?also is great. Ah-- because "Our Drama Series"and "Houkago" were adaptations of the masterpiece "Tenkousei" I haven't seen them but now I'm watching "Sono Toki Heart wa Nusumareta" Well, when this book goes on sale it'll be a different episode so it'll be an old topic but "Saki" who appears in it is like Yui. My assistants think so too. They both wear brown uniforms, have short hair, and have slit their wrists. But Yui is innocent. That kind of 15-16 year old precocious brat...girl doesn't exist do they? But I start to dislike it when even the school love comedies have them "sleeping" and stuff. All the young people these days can think of nothing else I guess. Huh? Has no persuasive power coming from Watase? Well, drawing kiss scenes, guys saying suspicious lines, and several rather close scenes... *GASP* Became aware of how hard it is supporting what I said up 'til now... (Sweat drop) But I'm always putting effort into the design. Making the readers happy is also an effort. Sigh--- And speaking of my daily routine, I was looking at the Asahi newspaper. Impressive. I enjoy the comic strips but I read the articles too. Oh yeah, that mom in "Tonari no Yamada-kun" is like my mom...And she has a Kansai dialect too. But she's a little more frugal then that. I think conversations with that old woman is like conversations with me and my mom... Incidentally my mom is the airhead and I'm the straightman. How come the roles are bound to be that way? That's normal for Kansai people. Having comic dialog in our daily conversations. So I think Tasuki is cute.
