This is my very first manga. In Japan, it is still relatively unknown, and there were times when I didn’t know if it would even be able to continue. There were moments when I felt completely frustrated and powerless, unsure of what I should do next. Then, I started hearing voices from readers overseas. I believe this marks a historic moment in the history of manga. This is something we achieved together. It was made possible by Kodama, who had the vision to believe in this work, and by every reader who believed in it and continued to make their voices heard. To all of you, I send my deepest respect and love. — An unknown rookie manga artist from Japan.

I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone, so I've released the translated version for free. I want to protect the people who protect my work. Art is not owned by language. It is not owned by borders. It is not owned by race. That should be obvious.
