( New for this compilation )

This time's new story. This compilation happened to include "Crow and Rabbit" and "Mazi-Magi", with two main characters each. "Go! Go! Around", with a large ensemble. And then some original characters in "Suwako VS Space Suwako" and "Crow and Rabbit". Trying to tie them all together into one story ended up being quite the ordeal. I had some trial and error along the way, but ended up with this story focused on Yuuka's disappearance and resurrection with no single clear main character.

Because of that, no matter how many pages I had, it was never enough! But this compilation was already the thickest of all time, so if I made it much thicker, it was gonna be a problem for printing and even just handling. (Not to mention deadlines!) As such, I had no doubt but to reluctantly reduce everyone's page space in equal measure. I still feel like I did the best I could with those limitations, though. If only the WBaWC stage 1-3 boss trio got to show up a bit more...

It ended up being a very straight-forward action story, didn't it? In fact, it started out as an even simpler story where everybody used their skills together to resurrect Yuuka! Happy ever after. But looking at Yuuka as a character and her previous appearance in this book, I felt like if someone did that to her she'd just blast 'em in return... so I decided to turn that around and make that into the story instead. I ended up liking Eiki's subtle attitude towards taunting Yuuka out of hiding.
