Thank you very much for picking up and buying "Bocchama wa Ijiwaru". I also wrote this on the cover flap test, but I'm very happy because I've wanted to do a cheerful story about a maid and her master for a long time. I really love maids' uniforms, and the word "bocchama" just sounds too funny to me. I also love antique, Western style mansions. Because there are so many things I love in this story, I think everyone will definitely enjoy it. p. 8 panel 1 // That day was so very, very cold. Snow was falling.
