Letter:
Dear Friend, or some weird person I let read this,
I hope you enjoyed this manga. In fact, this is the absolute first manga that I finishedfunny. I started Meian first, but that is way way way too long to ever finishso I decided to do short shoojo comics that reflect me! This is suppost to reflect my sophomore year! The poetry competition parallels Science Olympiad.
Look for my other mangas all entitled Fuusha*Windmill. Also look for my totally separate, but in Fuusha High School, story, Koogo no Uchuu and of course, Meian.
Give me your complementsI mean commentsha ha ha
