Volu 3.5, Author's Notes
I'm really grateful that everyone's holding onto this wacky 'Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju Volu 3.5'. I'm Inoue Kenji, the author in charge of writing this series. The series has finally reached the 4th volu, and if it wasn't for the support of the readers, I would definitely have given up midway through. At this point, I really want to express my thanks that can't rely be expressed through words.
Also, since there's the term 'test' in this series' na, I'll introduce the test question I had during college.
Let's talk about a mini test that a 'practical English' professor gave us.
Professor: "I'm passing the test papers down, please write out the words that I'm going to read."
Having received the papers, I first wrote down my na and student ID down.
Professor: "Then, the first question."
I wrote a (1) on the paper as I prepared to answer the question.
Professor: "Rheumatic heart disease."
Just like that, I decided to leave (1) blank.
Speaking of which, is this really practical English? Is this really practical as compared to haggling terms or greetings? The United Kingdom is really terrifying.
Professor: "The second question."
"I wrote a (2) on the paper.
Professor: "Jas Thomas."
This is a specialized na. My definition of an 'English test' is wavering.
Maybe this is really practical, but even if that person is called Jackson or Smith, so what? Is this kind of English common? I start to feel unsettled.
Anyway, I just followed what the professor said and wrote the answer, but as for whether it was correct, I didn't have any confidence at all, because I never learned practiced writing a person's na anyway.
The professor seed to noticed my emotions, and gives a few comforting words.
Professor: "I'll give you people a hint."
That really helps out.
Professor: "This is the na of a horse."
THAT WILL ONLY MAKE EVEN CONFUSED!!!
random stuff and hand in my answer. On a side note, the professor gave a total of 3 questions, and the last question was 'anything that you can write'. How are you going to grade that? Until now, it's still a mystery to . English is really hard.
Okay, enough of that. Next, let's listen to my explanation of each short story. The following may reveal the contents of the story, so to the readers who haven't read yet, I apologize.
This work was written earlier than my first volu, so it should be considered my first work. As it was released on a website called FB online, I suppose not a lot of people know about it, right? The website will have updates every Friday, so readers, if you're interested, you may check it out. There are also many works that aren't released, and they may be removed without you knowing. There's also a lot of Famitsu Bunko upstarts works and other information about new books. If you have the chance, please visit the site. The readers-online zone also allows readers to ask questions about the works. This is just a little promotion.
Oh yeah, Hazuki who appeared in the 2nd volu appears in this volu. It seed like a lot of people were confused after reading that volu, so I'm really sorry about it.
This was a short story that was on a FBSP booklet. As for when the story occurred, it's about between the 1st and 2nd volu. The love letter in the beginning is part of the content of a love letter that I don't want people who know to know of, but please relax, I edited it before. The original letter was really from a real female! no, no, it's not my mom who wrote it. Anyway, the people around (even my imdiate relatives) don't even know that I'm a writer. This love letter was based on a love letter I got in the past--AIYO, I TOLD YOU IT'S NOT! AND IT'S NOT MY GRANNY WHO WROTE IT!!
The protagonist this ti is Yuuji, and the story occurred between the 2nd and 3rd volu. I tried to change my usual sctick as I wrote this story. Though it's a love cody, I was sowhat sensing that it was only a cody…anyway, doesn't matter. As Hideyoshi's phone was damaged in this story, he had no handphone to use in the 3rd volu. It was really not an elaborate explanation, so i'm really sorry.
Everyone seed to have imagined Hideyoshi in a swimsuit, and this ti, I finally managed to write it out. How is it? Did it et your expectations? For so reason, a lot of people seem to feel that Hideyoshi should be wearing a school swimsuit, and the next most popular idea was a fundoshi. Unbelievably, Hideyoshi's a guy, yet it's really hard to draw him without him wearing a top. Isn't that inexplicable? On a side note, everyone should have expected Minami to wear a competitive swimsuit, but I'm really sorry. This story happened between volus 2 and 3, so Minami doesn't even know of such things.
This is also between volus 2 and 3. Akihisa's mother finally appears for the first ti! As I was told by my colleague that 'The mothers that Inoue-bro writes about seem sowhat weird', so I always couldn't think of what to write. As for why is it, that's because I don't even know what a normal mother is like!! On an unrelated note, a few days ago, my mother encouraged on a phone: "Since you're an ugly person, you have to find soone who's willing to marry you!". WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SPOUTING, YOU DAMNED OLD GRANNY! WE'LL WAIT AND SEE!
--Sorry, I got a bit carried away. My relationship with my mother's still very good.
Okay okay, now for the usual thanks.
To Haga Yui-san, who's in charge of the illustrations, the mont I saw the cover of this volu, my eyes widened. Right now, my PC desktop background should have a change now. You're a terrifying person! N-sama, who's in charge of editoring, your abandoning of your family to focus on work is so cool. I'm really sorry for not being able to let you rest. Kagaya-sama, who's in charge of designing, I'm really sorry that the sudden inclusion of this volu caused your workload to increase. However, I still believe fully in your ability! So please don't abandon ! To all my sempais, whether it's in a banquet or a ssage or a handphone, I really bothered you people a lot. Because of everyone's suggestions, I am finally able to embrace the 1 year anniversary of starting out, and I really like to thank everybody.
Finally, of course, I have to thank the readers! I'm really, really grateful for everyone's affections. For you bought this book, I can finally continue to write this story. I don't think I can say enough as to how much I'm really grateful for this. So readers even sent their handmade book covers, which allows to gain montum in my work. Please allow to earnestly thank everyone again.
Then, let's et in the 4th volu where Minami's all-out assault continues! I will try my best not to make everyone wait for too long.
