>Azuma: Yes, there’s a lot of material that doesn’t actually make it into the manga. It sort of makes the manga easier to make, or, rather, I feel like it becomes more natural. Fuuka and Miss Stake’s friend shows up in the culture festival chapter… [opens volume eight] This is her, the third of the friends. She’s got a bit of a wave to her hair. The three of them hang out together.
>–I was sort of curious about this girl! Do you try to strike a balance with the personalities when you’re making these sets of three?
>Azuma: I guess I don’t really get analytical about it. The way I picture her, this third girl is the silliest of the group.
>–I see. (laugh) I can’t imagine what kind of third character could be added to Asagi and Tora.
>Azuma: The third character I have in mind is the one who receives the most abuse.
>–Interesting. The two of them are pretty free-spirited, so I can see that. Between Asagi and Tora, Asagi is the stronger of the two, isn’t she?
>Azuma: Right — I mean, she’s the queen. I want to have her other friend make an appearance, but I don’t know when it’ll happen. I’ve got a few volumes’ worth vaguely planned, but she’s not in any of those either. It could end up being three or four years down the road, and maybe I’ll have changed my mind by then. I generally try to be true to how I feel when I’m drawing.
>–I’ll be waiting. Speaking of Miura, I also want to ask a little about Cardbo. When you first drew Cardbo in the manga, did you actually construct it out of cardboard?
>Azuma: I did. I went inside, saw what it was like.
>–Wow – an adult-sized version, then.
>Azuma: Right. I saved it after making it, but then there was this terrible incident involving sewage water flooding out of my bathroom, and I’d been keeping Cardbo nearby, so it was ruined by the water and I had to get rid of it.
>–Poor Cardbo… (laugh)
