Thank you very much reading all the way here!!
Thank you very much!! And sorry for just drawing whatever I felt like... It seems full of blatant headcanon and things to nitpick. Sorry, really. But it was tons of fun to draw, and I'm so glad it worked out somehow...!
I think the difference in Moko-tan and Keine's lifespans is one of the first things you think of when you think of KeneMoko, but of course, I've also gone wild imagining by share of farewell scenes. And so, with those 108 potential plotlines in my head (there aren't that many) (look at this bastard mouthing off) I couldn't help but wanna draw something, and if I'm gonna draw, I might as well make it the single happiest of the bunch! Happy—! Yaaay—!
...which brings us here.
Relative to that, there's a lot of death stuff and people crying and everything. I'm sorry, Moko-tan... but crying that was also really fun in a way... (...)The drawing process really was especially fun this time around. I'm usually drawing more compact, goofy comedy manga, but with a more serious story, you get to think about this big panel, that two-page spread... all this stuff about how to maximize the impact. I promise, it's great for the person drawing. But just like that, the pages just keep multiplying, and the real problem becomes about making the deadline. It was really close! But I regret nothing!
Also, I digress, but I'd like to give to special thanks to my grandma. She used to do traditional dancing, and lended me a fan to use as reference for Yuyu-sama, as well as some hell-and-heaven scrolls she bought on her shrine and temple visits as reference for Eiki-sama's chamber.
I'm sorry, Grandma, for becoming the type to draw manga based on them rather than do traditional dancing with you...I think it's time I wrapped this up... There's a lot more I want to draw of Moko-tan. I hope you'll humor my daydreams once again!
And thank you, seriously, for reading!!

The page count just kept growing and growing, to the point that this was the only free page I could spare. This book's way too jam-packed.
