2. Hello everyone. This is Sakuragi Ren. Thank you very much for reading all the way to the end of volume 4. With the way volume 3 ended, I'm sure a lot of people expected to have a kiss scene now, but I hope you liked it. In fact, my original plan was to have the scene in chapter 24 at the end of volume 4. I didn't want to rush things too much, but... I couldn't hold myself back. So when I worked on chapter 22, I told my editor 'I'll put the kiss scene in here,' and just went with it, haha. That is also the reason that a lot of the standard scenes tend to follow one after the other... It's because I can't hold back from drawing them. Then again, this is a yuri manga, so I specifically started writing this story because I wanted these types of things to happen. The same goes for hugs. There tends to be a lot of them whenever I'm involved, but can you blame me? It's what we all want to see, so I'm going to draw it. And you'll probably see more of it soon, too. By the way, I actually considered putting a hugging scene in every chapter of volume 1, but stopped myself in the end. However, this sort of restraint is what led to the pushing-down scene in chapter 3, so I've learned that things go crazy if you don't let them do what they want.

4. And speaking of volume 4... we can't forget about Uda-chan! It finally started. She's been here since chapter 1, and I always took great care when dealing with her. And now she's finally become the next heroine. I was so happy to have finally reached this part that I started crying. It's thanks to all my readers that I've managed to make it this far, so I'll continue providing exactly what you'd like to read! And for that to happen, I'd be happy to have all your support!
