NoWaYu LN interview summary

NoWaYu LN interview summary:
- Akashiro Aoi uses "boku" as a pronoun
- NoWaYu was originally titled "Yuuki Yuuna Souseiki - Genesis"
- Anzu's personality is the way it is because YuYuYu didn't have any vanilla cute girls
- writing Hinata was the most difficult for Akashiro because of her unique position as a miko
- Akashiro's favorite scene was Chikage's breakdown at her hometown
- Takahiro's favorite scene was hair-down sissy Tamako in chapter 12. He thinks Tamako might actually be the prettiest among the 6 girls (but going by writing, his favorite scene would be the final battle).
- BUNBUN made two sketches for Tamako's and Anzu's death. The illustration they discarded was much more gruesome than the one they put in the LN
- They decided how the girls would meet their ends first and then thought up the plot to lead up to those moments. Even when they designed Tamako's weapon, the idea that she'll use it as a shield to protect Anzu in her final fight was already there
- they were aware that introducing the three evil youkai would make people believe that Chikage will invoke Tamamonomae (and that she will stay alive for long enough to do so), but they don't make it seem like it was a deliberate red herring
