Thank you to all the readers who have supported us so far. The serialization will end, but I’m lucky enough to be able to make it into an anime…! Uncle will move! You can hear the sound of slurping ramen! The home economics department will speak! …I don’t really know if it’s amazing or not. The broadcast will be broadcast next year, and until then the rest of the comics will be released, and I’m thinking about doing something personally. I don’t know if it’s amazing or not.
