Hanajima, my spear! Bring me my spear!

As a child, because manga was always around and I was reading it, I naturally thought, "Hey, I'd like to draw manga - I'd like to be a manga author!"

Let's try our best? I hope that someday the many, many tears that were shed will be worth it.

I wish I could've lived my life without making any wrong turns. But that's impossible. A path like that doesn't exist. We fail. We trip. We get lost. We make mistakes. And little by little, one step at a time, we push forward. It's all we can do. On our own two feet.

We shall go wild with fireworks...And they will plunge into the sky and shatter the darkness. We don't have any fireworks that big

It's true. I......I wanted to be born in the year of the cat......!

I want to live with all of my memories, even if they’re sad memories. I believe that if I stay strong, someday I’ll overcome the pain, and then I’ll be glad that I have those memories. I believe that there are no memories that are okay to forget.
