Discussion on Lara's May Issue and Fan Letter
2024年3月22日、いよいよ明日、ララ5月号が発売になります。
The day before yesterday, I was thinking about what to talk about.
I just received a fan letter from the editorial department,
so I'm going to read it while recording.
I'm not going to say who sent me the letter,
so I'm going to take it easy today and try to record reading the letter.
First of all, the annual letter has arrived.
I don't know when the timing will be,
so I don't think there are many people who didn't expect the letter to arrive at the end of March.
I think everyone is like that.
There are quite a few messages saying happy New Year.
I'm also happy about the annual letter. Thank you very much.
I've received a lot of things, but there are quite a few messages.
Reading and Appreciating Fans' Letters
Well, there are a lot of people who say that they like the president maid,
but there are also people who say that they love the illustrations on the cover of the official fan book so much that they are displayed in the room.
This is from Mie Prefecture.
He sent me a very cute illustration.
In Hyogo Prefecture, they call Tsukishima-kun's way of killing,
and they call Tsukishima-kun's way of killing,
whether the maid falls into hell or Tsukishima-kun's way of killing.
It's Tsukishima-kun's heroine, Emma.
He says he likes Emma too much. He says she's a cool girl.
He says he sometimes feels the shadow of Misaki.
That's right. After all, I feel like that kind of thing comes out to some extent.
It's kind of like Misaki.
Yeah, I'm glad.
Oh, Igarashi-kun, how are you?
It's about the tiger.
Thank you for not forgetting the tiger.
This is from a person in Tokyo.
Last year, when I wanted to feel happy and energetic,
the chairman was reading back to me.
Thank you very much.
I hope that 2024 will be a fulfilling year for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
I would be very happy if I could help you feel happy and energetic.
Thank you very much.
This is from Ishikawa Prefecture.
I also enjoy looking at Hiro-sensei's Twitter.
Thank you very much.
Well, on Twitter, I'm just talking about cats.
But I feel like cats are not going to decrease even if you look at them.
I'm sure everyone is happy.
Every time I go to a bookstore, I check to see if Hiro-sensei's new manga is out.
I'm happy.
There was something like that in the past.
When I was a student, I didn't feel like I was reading a magazine
because I wasn't sure if my favorite author's new manga was out.
I feel like I was looking for something like that.
This is from Ibaraki Prefecture.
Hiro-sensei, it's me.
It seems that you will be translating this year.
Translating...
My husband's hat is also a translation.
And I think it was the biggest translation for men.
I haven't been able to go to the translation yet.
It really depends on you whether you care or not.
That's right.
I didn't think about that at all in the past,
but now I'm starting to feel the importance of health more strongly.
I guess that's how much I've grown up.
That's right.
There's something about taking care of your health every year.
Well, that's right.
I think it's better to go to a healthy diagnosis than to take medicine.
I've received quite a few other New Year's cards.
Oh, there's a fortune-telling.
It's a fortune-telling...
Oh, it's a turn-around.
I'll turn it around a little.
It was a great year.
Fan Messages and Appreciation
I did it.
It seems to be a great year.
There's a result of a great year.
Yes.
Well, there's a New Year's card.
And then there's a letter I got from Vincent.
There's a letter I got from Vincent.
He's from Chiba Prefecture.
He said, nice to meet you.
He said, I love Maid.
Usui Takumi was my first love.
No, no, no, no.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad to hear that.
I still don't feel like I've written a two-dimensional first love character.
I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you very much.
This time, from Hokkaido.
Nice to meet you, too.
The president read Maid in the LINE manga.
He said he bought the whole book.
He read it halfway through his student days.
This is the first time he's read it in LINE manga.
He also read Mariage.
Thank you very much.
It looks like he's in his late 20s.
I heard he was in elementary school when he was serialized.
I'm really happy to be able to enjoy the manga I read when I was a kid even when I'm an adult.
I'm happy, too.
Thank you very much.
That's right.
When I was serialized, I was still in elementary school.
After I became an adult, I read it again.
I read it again.
I've been told so many times.
I'm so happy.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know how my parents feel, but I think it's getting bigger.
This is from Osaka Prefecture.
This is also the first time he sent me a letter.
He said,
I was nostalgic when I watched Maid's anime on U-NEXT.
After watching all the episodes, I wanted to read the original manga.
I bought the manga and read it.
Thank you very much.
That's great.
The anime was broadcast when I was in the first year of high school.
At that time, I fell in love with it in real time.
I remember buying the manga with my sister and chasing it to the final volume.
I'm so happy.
The manga is supposed to be my sister's.
That's great.
It's amazing that you bought all 18 volumes twice.
Oh, you're giving birth and raising a child.
Thank you for your hard work.
I feel like I was able to remember the fun and excitement of manga and anime for the first time in a long time.
That kind of entertainment...
I'm so happy that it's useful for someone.
I can't stop my heart beating.
I've done more than three weeks of manga and anime in the past few weeks.
Isn't that amazing?
I've never spent that much time on manga and anime.
I'm so happy that you're so passionate about it.
I heard that you didn't know that Mariaju was being released.
I'm glad to hear that there was a sequel.
I heard that you read it.
I'm so happy.
First of all, I'm going to start reading from Yuki is Falling into Hell, which was a collaboration work with Mariaju.
I heard you were busy, so I'm going to read it while I'm raising a child.
It says, I'll send you a review when I read it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I hope you like it.
I'd be happy if you could give me a review.
My daughter's birthday is the same as mine.
It's December 23rd.
Congratulations.
It's my ex-birthday.
It's not my birthday anymore.
When I was a kid, I didn't get along with my friends on my birthday.
On December 24th, it's Christmas.
My feelings have gone there.
It's a birthday that's hard to celebrate.
But it's a good time, December 23rd.
By the way, December 23rd is the same day as Meika Tanaka and An Tsukimiya of Lala Soccer.
There are quite a few people who are born on December 23rd.
Fan Letters
Next is from Aomori Prefecture.
Happy New Year.
I got this at the same time as the New Year's card.
This person seems to be enjoying reading Tsukishima-kun.
I was busy with work and agriculture, but it seems to be hard.
Work and agriculture.
Aomori Prefecture.
It's hard, isn't it?
I think agriculture is really hard.
I really like Tsukishima-kun's younger sister, Ran.
She says she likes a character with bad blood pressure.
Ran is a character with bad blood pressure and is scary.
She said, she's a good girl.
She said, my brother is heavy.
I think she's a character with very bad blood pressure and is scary.
But I think she's a very good girl.
I'm happy.
I'm really happy to receive a letter like this about Tsukishima-kun.
Basically, there are a lot of things written about the maid.
I'm really happy to receive a letter that conveys a rare letter with a high fever.
Of course, I'm very happy to hear that you like the maid.
It's getting pretty good time.
I'll do it last.
From Ibaraki Prefecture.
There are a lot of people who are new to this.
This is also the first person.
When I was in elementary school, I met the anime of maid-sama and became a fan of Hiro-sensei.
Thank you very much.
It was the work that made the maid-sama an otaku.
At that time, I remember that I really liked Aoi-chan and Kano-kun.
That's right.
I'm a fan of all of them now.
That's great.
Fan of All Characters
She's a fan of all the characters.
She's writing a lot of specific things.
It's a great fever.
She's really studying everyone.
Misaki, Usui, Sanbaka, Yukimura Kano, Satsuki, Suzuna, Yoh, Hinata.
Thank you very much.
I feel like I want to read this work over and over again.
I'm glad.
I want to be like that.
I wrote the last scene of the final episode with that kind of feeling.
I'm glad you came back.
The most impressive thing is Usui-jyanai-san.
That's where it's at.
I'm glad you enjoyed the comedy part.
I think you two are the strongest couple.
I love you forever.
Specifically, I like the fact that the perverted alien has Misa-chan in his sight.
I like the fact that Misa-chan is doing her best to be serious about what's in front of her.
There are many parts that I respect.
I'm glad you took it as it is.
When I see Misa-chan working hard, I think I have to work hard too.
I've always been encouraged.
I want to be like Misa-chan, and I'm still working hard towards my dream.
I want to marry a good-looking, smart, handsome, and high-spec person like Usui.
It's a joke.
Please be popular with me as much as you want.
If you just say it, it's free.
That's right.
All the characters that appear in Maid-sama are very unique, and I love them all.
I think it's also attractive that there are no bad people from the roots.
I'm glad.
There are times when I want to draw bad people from the roots, but I can't.
I think that's the good thing about Maid-sama.
In today's world, diversity is spreading, but I think that Maid-sama is a pioneering work on the theme of diversity.
Aoi-kun, who likes cute things, and Maria-sensei, who likes women, etc.
Expressing happiness and gratitude
I was impressed at the time that it was okay to say that I like what I like.
And I feel like I've learned that there are a lot of people in the world and there are a lot of likes.
I'm glad.
Well, this is...
I didn't do it because I had such a strong claim.
I think I wanted to be in a world where it was natural for people with various characteristics to exist.
At first, I think about various settings with the feeling of making the character stand out.
But in the end, I had the feeling that everyone was like everyone and it was good.
I'm so happy that you feel that way.
I will graduate from university next spring and become a member of society.
Congratulations.
Speaking of which, today, I was thinking in my heart that I was congratulating the people who look like graves who are graduating from university.
Congratulations.
This is the last one, but I'm really glad I met your work.
Thanks to Maid-sama, I had a strong heart and overcame difficulties.
Thank you very much.
I'm so happy.
I'm really happy to receive fan letters like this.
Last year was quite difficult.
I'd like to think about replying to fan letters soon.
In the editing department, you can find the address of the fan letter at the end of my comics.
I think you can find the address even if you buy a Lala magazine.
I'd be happy if you could send it to me.
I'd be really happy if you could give me your thoughts on tomorrow's Lala May issue of Kyosou Silent.
I've been using my old Twitter, SNS, and official LINE accounts for a long time.
Even now, sometimes I get messages from people who want to send me a long message in a place where I can't be seen.
I'd be happy if you could tell me anywhere.
I'd be happy if you could read the message like this.
If you don't want me to read it, please tell me.
Request for more fan letters
I don't know how many people are listening to my voice diary.
I'd be happy if you could forgive me.
It's been a while, but it's going to be released tomorrow.
I'd be happy if you could send me your thoughts on tomorrow's Lala May issue of Kyosou Silent.
