Letters from the editor: I became a fan of Takashima-sensei's work when I read this story. I didn't know her contact address though. I wonder if there are many other readers who lost heart because of that. If you're one of those many, then please send a letter to those in the editorial department address. We still like to introduce new doujinshi in some of our articles (though the deadline is just before the comic convention in winter). Takashima-sensei still keeps up her projects with soundless energy!

Takashima: Nice to meet you! My name is Takashima Kazusa. I'm so glad to see that everything fell together nicely for this piece. And I even got to illustrate the front cover for the first volume! (Woo-Hoo!). This is a true honor! But despite that, I stilld rew this totally pathetic piece! What do I do? I'm such an idiot!! I didn't have any time (X2), But I couldn't let myself be late for the deadline! In order to put in the backgrounds, I had to get rid of all that empyt space! But I was afraid that by not putting only the most necessary lines it might become a really messy manga. I thought this was the only way I can be more of a help to Taiyou Tosho-san. Thanks for reading so far into this...(sweatdrop) I'll keep doing my best!

Uh...before, I used to do parodies based on the comic, "Houshin Engi". The comic event (comiket) is hel primarly in Hokkaido (done live), Tokyo, and Kyuushuu. I did it under the circle name "Takashimaya". Please come to check it out! I've done some pretty crazy works with Tenka x Tenshou, if you know what I mean. T-take a look, please!!! Aside from that, I've also don work for other anthologies, and a few illustrations for novels, so if you just look hard enough, you might be able to find some.

Once again, Thank you very much for everything!!
Takashima Kazusa

Special thanks to
Hoshino Saya
Fujimura Takumi-sama
Asakage Shitomi-sama
Hope to see you again! (Dies)
