irodori版の世界の続き、６話目です。２年ちょいでやっと半分まできました。
大変な状況ですがこの世界は自分にとって命よりも大切な世界なので責任をもって人生をかけて描き続けていきたいと思います。
また「自分のみたい旅の続き」というのが当初からのコンセプトですが、それはすなわち「作品の世界、テーマ、そしてキャラクターたちの最も自然な成り行き」ということを意味します。なのでこの作品は自分のためでも読者のためでもなく、ただ作品世界のためだけに描いていきたいです（それができるのはもうファンによる２次創作だけですので）。
そしてirodoriの新作も超・MESSA楽しみです。なんだか自分はirodori版以降ずっとirodoriの新作に引っ張られて生き続けている気がします。。

This is the 6th episode of the the continuation of the world of Season 1. I finally got to the half-way mark after a little over two years.
There is a crisis going on but this world is more important to me than my own life, so I will take responsibility and continue drawing with my life on the line.
The original concept may have been "the kind of continuation of the journey that I would want to see", but that means "the most natural development of the work's world, themes, and of course the characters". Therefore I am drawing this work neither for my own sake nor for the readers' sake, but simply for the sake of its world itself (because at this point it's not possible to accomplish that in any other way than by fanmade derivative works).
Also, I am very, MESSA* looking forward to irodori's next work. I feel like, ever since Kemono Friends season 1, I only continue to live by being pulled along by irodori's new works...
