Thank you very much for buying "Eternal Ledgend Takamagahara" volume one. This time, I'm doing an adventure fantasy story. (...or that was my intention, what has this become now?) This is a ledgend that's already been written once, but this is the first time it's become a manga. "My name is also 'Yuuki'!" ...that's what so many fan letters write. There's lot's of "Yuuki-chans" in this country, aren't there. I'm happy. But there's so many different kanji for it. ("Yuuki" written this way and "Yuuki" written this way, and...) Fan letters are really important to me. It's too hard to reply, but I really do read them all, don't worry. "Yuuki-chans" and people not named Yuuki, please adventure with Yuuki in this manga. You never know, we might all actually travel to Takamagahara in our dreams. This story, like always, I'll answer your fan letter questions. Please look forward to the character profiles, too. Then, be guided through Takamagahara, the world of dreams... pg 5 Nakime: "Magatama", I command you, awaken in Nakatsukuni. Whenever you are called.. Search for the one who you belong to...! pg 6 Nakime: Houju Kourin!! pg 7 Nakime: Yuuki...!! pg 8 Mom: Yuuki, are you awake?! When you are, please look in on Kousuke and everyone!!

Kousuke: Am not, your tiny socks wouldn't fit me, these are mine!! Youji: No, those are MINE! Kousuke: Look, there's a hole in the heel!! Youji: Mine has one too!! Kousuke: What, are you gonna risk your life for this? Youji: I AM, see! (L-I-F-E!) Youichi: WAAAH! Niichan, your oi- pg 11 Yuuki: QUIT IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! Dad: We can always let Yuuki take care of them... Mom: That's true, she's a big help. (I can't manage all of them...) News: And now, the weather forecast. pg 12 News: This morning, the whole country will be cloudy still. This makes it a full week without one bit of sun... Youichi: Nii-chan took my omlette!! Mom: Oh no...how will I be able to dry the laundry? Dad: Yeah. We haven't had any sunny weather here, huh... News: Now, weather sattelite images from "Sunflower"... Kousuke: That HURT, Yuuki- you mandrill! Yuuki: WHAT did you CALL ME? Yuuki: Maybe it'll snow. pg 13 Yuuki: Bye!! Kousuke: (I'm an idiot.)

Yuuki: Amaterasu...is that the new sponge cake product line? Nakime: Um, well... Perhaps you'll understand when I say the "sun". Amaterasu-sama is the sun, who illuminates both Takamagahara and Nakatsukuni! So, if Amaterasu-sama dies, that means... ...that the sun will disappear...! pg 35 Nakime: If the sun disappears, every living thing will die. Amaterasu-sama is sick. I can support Takamagahara's sun, but Nakatsukuni's sun is no longer... Yuuki: % Such a difficult talk...I guess she's not a ghost... % If she was I'd realize...
