Artist’s Afterword

Nice to meet you. To those who know me, it’s nice seeing you again. I’m Yasu. After my previous work for Our Dear Tamura-kun, I’m now in charge of the illustrations in Toradora!

I thought that Tamura-kun would probably be the first and last big job of my life, so when I heard about this current project, I was really shocked. I thought it was someone playing a joke on me. Thank you so much for allowing me to draw for it.

It’s been very cold lately, hasn’t it? Where I live, we’ve even gotten snow a few times. I’m bad with snow on account of the cold, but I still kind of want to have a snowball fight. Really though, I just want to play. But it ended up being so cold at home that I couldn’t help it—I turned on the heat, so my electric bill was a joke…

Anyway, I have these messages for those I’m indebted to:

To Takemiya-sensei—Thank you for allowing me to have a lot of fun reading through your work this time, too. I rarely eat spaghetti, so next time I’ll have some tarako spaghetti.
To the editorial department—I am so very sorry for causing you trouble with my inexperience and slow replies. For the next project, I’m going to work hard to make sure I give myself a little more time. Though, that’s probably a fleeting fantasy. (Hey!)
To Ishi-san (who helped me), and also Daiyama-sensei—You two always take care of me. Thanks in advance for the next time, too! (Hey!)
To those who picked up this book and to those who cheered me on through my website—Really, thank you so much. I’m really sorry for all the delays with my replies.

And so, with that, I’m much obliged to all of you again. I hope you enjoy Toradora! ＞ω＜ﾉ
