Er, well... Everyone, have you noticed? Up on the cover is the first picture of Muraki that I drew in color. Silver hair is impossible to color, and because I'm pretty poor at it his hair ended up just being white. How many times did I have to redraw it... (Twice).

    Man, he really is a high maintenance sort of guy.

    ...so anyways, as to why Muraki has that color hair even though he's Japanese... it's a secret. It'll slowly become clear (probably) as you understand more of his household circumstances and family composition. (Darn, my sentences are getting weird again...) Look forwards to it!!

    Actually, this brings to mind... I'm often asked what I use for coloring, but really, it's just plain color ink. I'm still just an amateur, so trying out various things in color is rather unnerving and I can't get myself to do it. Though, occasionally I use the Perth architectural drawing pens that my friend gave me...
