The text on the picture reads “Bocchan’s Stand or Persona”
-------------

GF should be out tomorrow, a bit early this month.
You can easily spot the cover with these two on it!
Last month it was Alois/Claude from anime S2, this month it’s Ciel/Sebastian’s turn.

When I was drawing this cover,
the editor said “Sebastian is turning into a stand”
and the assistant said “looks like a persona”.

I went “Huh? Sebas is designed as a Ciel-guarding demon right from the start, equipped with built-in Human Interface and Genocide System. As for Persona a butler like Yamaoka is fine but I think Yamaoka should be Tanaka!”, and was told “don’t know what you’re talking about speak Japanese please”.
Such being the case I’m having a persona standing behind encircling its master, unable to calm down without holding, a lonely Otaku Toboso. Good day everyone!

In this month’s GF there are 38 pages from opening plus the cover. Please support it.
I also designed the hair band that’s offered as all-service extra. Girl’s series #2 from Funtom Co.
Gold x Navy is righteousness! Royal colour is the best! It’s quite a cute design using pile fabrics with embroidery.
I think it’s essential for girls. For males you may also use it in the morning while washing your face (lol) …a bit cute with the attached ribbon.
I don’t think males use things like hair band but it can be quite handy.
Say while shaping the eyebrows not to mention face washing. (lol)
For gentlemen personal appearance is important too.

Regarding the colour page the editor said “Because of the colour, there’s this huge difference in tension from last month that makes me wonder if the writer has lost her mind. You’d think it’s YAS.” [???]
That’s the editor’s reaction. So in case it startles you I’m sorry. (Smile)
But my mind is extremely sound and stable DEATH.
A doctor told me before, “You’ll never get depressed, because you’re the type to recover even before acknowledging the depression.”
Sorry I sound like a female gorilla.
I can’t talk about the chapter that would be spoiler so let’s wait until next time. (^^)

Ah, episode 3 is going to air today on TBS!
As seen in the preview that red guy will make his appearance tonight.
It seems the number of drawings has exceeded Yukichi-sama [Yukichi Fukuzawa is on 10,000 yen banknote]. What is this all about?
Don’t you think the anime favours that guy too much? (lol)
However to make up for his lack of appearance in the manga, anime staff love him and allow him more screen time in the anime. I’m glad and grateful for that.
That red lad in the anime is too cute and slowly I’m starting to think maybe it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t appear in the manga. This is a secret.
It’s midnight, and ギュンギュン唸ります, so please adjust the volume and enjoy the Red and Black bouncing around on the cramped screen.
Ciel will be running too.
This is really wonderful… The number of drawings has exceeded Yukichi. And as good as certain AB! [Angel Beats] or ナイトレイ… Umm, my eyes are filled with tears I can’t see clearly…
Besides, there are quite a few important lines too. So don’t get distracted too much by the Red and miss the dialogues.
In anime-kuroshitsuji, it might look like a filler but every single episode is serious so prick up your ears. This is a standard requirement.
This week’s preview caused quite a stir at my house too so be sure not to miss it either.
Okada-san and Ono-san are awesome as always…without hesitation! (lol)

And another thing, I came up with the idea for a pose in a certain scene for that red guy, and Director Ogura, who’s famous for his transcendent gags having a sweet tooth being jack-of-all-trades and currently in charge of the storyboard of the animation, said “We didn’t think of that one. ww Let’s do it ww” and adopted it. I will tell you which one after it’s finished airing.
I even drew a sketch to show them. To tell the truth this is the first time.
I’m not sure why I picked that scene in particular but I know I was feeling strange at that time.

An exciting episode 3, I hope you all enjoy!
I have received an order saying Go and tweet inside stories on twitter too, so I think maybe we can do a live coverage there no spoilers of course.
Please support it everyone(^^)let’s enjoy the episode together.
