Comment arrived from Ishikawa!
I am honored and happy that Haruichi Furudate drew such wonderful illustrations for my first published book.
The form is similar, and I think it’s a perfect illustration for “Aiming for the Top.” thank you very much.
It attracted a lot of attention, and I was very surprised when I heard that it would be reprinted before it was released.
Thank you very much for looking forward to it.
I am happy that it has finally been released and that everyone can read it. Please let us know what you think!
