Thank you for reading till the end. Ever since the joint project that was out in 2011, with Hatate as the main character, I felt like making one book, so drew this kind of book. Making the story about writing newspaper makes it feels so meta, but I didn’t draw it for that so please just read it like usual.

Their exchange in Double Spoiler, though only for a short while, gave a strong feeling of ambition and rivalry. It’s so nice. I think maybe I have a liking on girls who look upward. Like Seiga, Byakuren, and Yuuka in the “vs Eiki” book.

Also, Hatate gave me the impression of an odd girl who can honestly compliments the good points of others. She might sound sarcastic, but maybe she just misinterpreted it for her own favor. Though I agree with the “Twintails = Tsundere” impression, I think she did have such particular quirk. But even after Double Spoiler, Hatate gave a strong impression of a shut-in, and it’s quite difficult to think up a book with other character as the main. I also have a lot of fun drawing it and I hope I’ll have more chance to make it. Anyway, next I’m thinking about making a story about Seiga and Yuuka doing bad things, so I think it’s actually better if Hatate doesn’t show up.

Also, this is totally unrelated, but a doting parent Rance is super cute.
