Hello everyone. Thank you for buying this comic. People reading it on the stand, if you like it please buy it. (Heart)Translation by Tasuki no Miko.
So all of a sudden the writing has gotten big. This "Shishunki" is a creation that is very special to me. Asuka and Manato are characters I created when I was actually 14 years old. Back then it was more serious. I guess it was around 10th grade (I guess I was 15 years old) when the story became as it is now. But it wasn't like the story is in this episode. (It had the situation of these 2 brother and sister together but) For the past 6 years Manato-kun was the star. By the way, his name wasn't Manato, it was Makoto but there were lots of other series in the magazine with characters with that name so I was encouraged to change it. (Well, for 6 years it's just been Makoto so I cried a bit) <--Really (Double sweat drop)For your personal enjoyment ONLY!
But, well, thinking of it as "Makoto's stage name", I consented but (Now I've gotten used to Manato) my special feelings for the characters came out at this kind of time. To be honest, for about 2 years I neglected them and thought of another work but during Jr. high and high school nearly everyday I drew Makoto (Manato) and Asuka in my notebook, creating the character list, creating various episodes, and also creating guest characters. (Some) I'd look up at the blue skies (hey hey) saying "I'll draw this one day when I become a manga artist!!"
So, well, this episode has become a reality but Asuka was changed to the star to give the hardships a passive voice. (It's better to have a girl the star) Actually, the Asuka I had drawn for 6 years wasn't this one!! To be continued
