Thank you for reading once again. This is Paretto, the writer. The story here is already from 8 years ago, so when we decided to remake it, I obviously reread it and all, but let me tell you, I was in disbelief at what a ridiculous story I'd written! I wanted to rewrite it somehow! But it's a remake, so you can't really dig up the whole foundation... Despite this struggle, I persisted through it and put it together somehow. ...Anyhow, it really is an explosion of non-canon, so I'm really worried if people will like it, but I felt like I did my best to re-detonate it, so I'm extremely happy if you found it even somewhat interesting.

By the way, some of the techniques appearing in this book are from Twilight Frontier's Touhou Hisoutensoku. I was really hooked on it at the time, so I figured I'd throw them in. If you found yourself wondering what the heck "Diamond Hardness" was supposed to be, I suggest you google it. (It's such a minor move that even Soku players might not remember it. It was good against Komachi.) -------------- Paretto

Afterword Thank you very much for picking up this book. Yuki here. I'm mostly the type that can't bear to look back at their own drawings, so I also haven't been rereading the book this is a remake of... But it's a story with a sentimental value, so even after 8 years, I felt like I could remember the lines and everything. The story is written with a very unique outlook, so while drawing, I was constantly wary of contradicting Paretto-san's vision somehow, but... the whole reason it rains in that one scene is because I was told to make it "emotional", and just decided to add in the rain myself. -------------- Yuki
