Hello. This is the one known as Hirasaka Makoto.
So, this was my first Shion book.
Originally I was thinking of making it about Shion alone, but in the end, I felt like drawing both her and Piece.
The whole ohagi pun here is a reference to an old story from my home region, but even though it's apparently quite famous, I actually didn't hear it until recently... (lol)
A story about food just made me think about recreating it with Shion, I guess.
Pretty much all the events lately have been canceled because of The Virus, so for now, this is getting released through bookstores only.
I hope this rare disaster will blow over as soon as possible, so I can see you all at the events again. Let's all just do our best for now!
Well then, hopefully my next book can be sold in person.
