News from the editorial department. "Sodatte Darling!!", will be come back to life again, in the number that goes on sale on April 10. In response to that...)
I know what you want to say. Don't say anything. I wanted to be liked by normal people back then. Let me say it straight out. I thought it would be nice if Tomosaka Rie could be the main character. But that was a mistake. People have their own shares, and you're not supposed to do things that aren't part of your own category. Oh, there are versatile people in this world. There may be people switching back and forth between being a musician and an author, being a mangaka and a TV personality, but I am not like that. I can't even switch back and forth between different manga genres, I am a human being with both a narrow heart and narrow capacity. So if you want to laugh, then laugh at them, the misfits that are protroding from my own category! If I'm made to draw love and romance, I am a person with no skills, I couldn't draw a sports manga either, and I'm half-baked at sex industry manga, and adventure manga... So, what is my category?
I've made a reason to die again.
