KOYOHARU GOTOUGE

I did it! I’m Gotouge. I get to bring out volume 6,

and thanks to everyone’s support I get to work
enthusiastically on manga again today. Thank
you for the letters of support, snacks, Valentine's
as
Day chocolate, drinks and clay Tanjiros. With
support from everyone, an author can lean into
their work, be a fighter and work hard. Sorry for
taking so long to say thank you. [crying]
