When I was first thinking of a title for this book, I decided arbitrarily that I should make it more erotic than usual, so I ended up with that fairy tale-esque, slightly embarrassing one.

If anyone bought this because of the name and relatively (for this company's standards) cheerful cover, I deeply apologize for the ordeal.

I honestly have little experience with drawing, dialog, composition, and all sorts of things, so I was always depressed by my lack of ability to satisfactorily finish a single work, but I'm very happy that I was able to put everything together in a single volume like this.

To Wanimagazine as a whole, and its Editor in Chief, who gave me this opportunity; my editor, and the designer who sent in this spectacular cover design. As well as everyone else who worked hard on this. Thank you all very much.

Finally, more than anything, a great big thank you to everyone reading this book. I hope you will continue to support my work.
