For those who have bought my doujinshi and my tankobon, and for new readers, thank you for picking up this book. To make two volumes of short stories, I guess I have drawn quite a bit. The lead story is the first original story I ever did. I guess I stuffed the stories full of themes I like. I think I will be drawing more stuff sometime in the future, so I hope we can meet again. —148 Ayumi ###right Saki Front Cover •As of time of printing —149 -1 Miyuu ###right Back Cover •As of time of printing
