---From Yoshio Kojima-----------------------------------
I used to do picture book readings in the park, and I thought the children would definitely participate in this picture book.
Also, our generation was directly hit by the works of Manga Taroh-sensei, so I plan to boast about this when I go back to my hometown (laughs).
