  2. Hello, Thank you very much for bringing this production to a new English-speaking audience. The artwork and story arc is so brilliant that, I wish we had more access to Manga graphic novels and comics in the English sphere. I am a postgraduate student researching this historical genre of graphic novels and would like to ask the translators a few more questions about their motivation and this series in-general. Can you pls help me with a way of contacting you? Thank you.
