p175
>Did you enjoy reading "You still rely on magic?" I'd be happy if you enjoyed it just a little bit.
>Nice to meet you, everyone. Apologies for the late introduction, but I'm the author, Shiochocho. This is my first work to have been printed as a tankobon, so thank you all for buying it.
>I had grown attached to Yui, Touko, Mew, Rinne, and all the other characters and enjoyed drawing this. I wanted to keep building on this story until the end, but the editor I was with got changed and the series was cancelled just when I was thinking of taking the story in another direction, meaning I begrudgingly had to bring the series to a sudden conclusion.
>If I ever get the chance, I'd love to draw a continuation focusing on Yui and Touko.
>I'm still working on my drawing and storytelling, but I'll hope you'll look forward to my next work.
