Hello, hello everyone. Itâs Kinugasa, the worldâs biggest fan of Ume Chazuke, served with green tea poured over it. (Rice Soup With Japanese Pickled Plums)
First of all, please take note that this is the first time the special exam has spanned for more than one volume. I wanted to write about the other students scattered about the island, but before I knew it, I had already hit the page limit. Iâm really starting to feel the limits on how much a single volume can permit.
Back when I first started writing, Iâd think to myself: âItâd be fine if I went a couple of pages over the limit, right? Whatâs the big deal?â Despite that optimism, most of the time Iâm struggling to fit everything in. Why canât they just make an exception for You-Zitsu and let me write over 500 pages per⦠No no, Iâll stop. That would probably just end up with me injuring myself in vain. Iâd probably be just fine with a 50 page increase instead!
Alright alright. Sorry for the lengthy preamble here, but Iâve only gone o~n~e page for the afterword this time.
Honestly, I feel like weâd be perfectly fine without an afterword. Is there really anyone out there dying to read these anyway? I wonder this all the time, but I imagine itâs really annoying for the reader if the very next page after finishing the story is the afterword without any blank pages to space it out. (That being said, there simply arenât enough pages, so it canât be helped.)
While the end of 2020 is now in sight, Iâll continue working hard to finish off the year! Until next time!
