3. "By the way, I really don't like the last chapter."
4. "I've always loved manga where the school life is really dramatic. Seeing the characters part never to see each other again reminds me of my own experiences with my own friends and makes me feel sad. But since I didn't plan on the series going so long, I didn't know what kind of feelings I should try to convey in the final chapter."

6. "To the editors Enaka-sama and Enno-sama, who put up with me when I gave them a hard time, and to Atsuyo-tan and Mimi-d-jin who helped me with, almost every chapter, and everyone else who helped me along the way, and to Designer-sama and Business-sama and friend, Publisher-sama and Honyaku-sama and to all the readers, Thank you very much! I'm very happy! I hope everyone else will always be happy from now on too!"
