Thank you for reading Arakawa

This time the extra chapter was placed before

this page. It was actually a chapter
to celebrate the end of my work in
Gangan Wing with "Nakamura studio".
Some of the characters also appear in "Arakawa".
The setting is Prom "Studio" but as
got used to Arakawa characters, some
I

things felt quite eccentric in this chapter.

But then thought that the characters are
I

already very eccentric from the everyday

standpoint and realized that in this sense
their eccentricity didn't change much.
I enjoyed drawing it a lot, even now I'm still smiling while
reading it. I'm glad that it was included in the volume.

See you next -time, in volume 9!
