[AI ERROR / SAFETY BLOCK - RAW ENGLISH RETAINED]

This was ten years ago now.

Our previous series,Sakurasou, was winding down, and I was meeting Kamoshida at the usual bar when he started sharing his ideas for a new series.

He had two ideas and was trying to decide which to write. There were no plans to get me involved in his next series, but one of the two ideas—sci-fi-tinged coming-of-age stories—sounded really good, so I said I’d love to do the art and would clear my schedule to do so. I got rather worked up about it.

Congratulations on finishing that series. And yet, like the knapsack kid, I got sick again, making trouble for everyone and making everyone worry. I’m so sorry!

But it was truly a blessed ten years. Thank you for reading the entire series!

Shouko came back in a powered-up ultimate perfect form, but I wasn’t able to draw her last time! I had to get it out of my system here. So impish! So cute!
