Happy New Year 2023 and I'm Kinugasa and I hope we can continue to have a great year together. Last year was quite eventful with the second season of an anime and various other things keeping me busy. This year, with the third season on the horizon, I'm hoping things will continue to be exciting.
On a personal note, I've established a routine for weekdays where I choose one out of three cafes and walk or bike there to brainstorm ideas while sipping coffee until lunchtime. Then I work at my desk until evening and repeat this five days a week.
On weekends, I spend half the day with my kids and the other half working.
Although weekdays seem to fly by, weekends feel three times as long and can be challenging. However, I often come up with interesting ideas during those times, which is a bit of a mystery to me.
My recent concern is that once I catch a cold, it takes a long time for me to recover. Since before Christmas, I've been suffering from a persistent cough and runny nose, and neither over-the-counter nor prescription medication has helped much. I feel embarrassed when I cough frequently while shopping at the supermarket, even with a mask on. I hope it will get warmer soon so that I can recover and be healthy.
Now, back to the main topic. The second semester arc ended in volume 9, and I'd like to thank those who have been following along so far. Ayanokouji and other characters are preparing for the third semester and their third year of high school.
The third semester may be a bit more challenging than the second, so please be prepared.
As always, the next volume will be the winter break arc. Considering that our relaxing time will be limited for the time being, this may be a valuable and enjoyable volume. I'll have to say goodbye for a while, but I'm looking forward to seeing you again before summer.
