いよいよこれで最終巻です！最後は、あえてサラリとまだ続くかのように描いてみましたが、いかがだったでしょうか。42巻最後まで読み続けていただいた皆様長い間、つきあって下さってありがとうございました。ファンレターやプレゼントなどを送っていただいた方々にも、お礼を申し上げます。ぜんぜん御返事を差し上げられなくて、すみませんでした。ただひたすら感謝!!です。さようなら。

At long last, it’s the final volume! I deliberately made the end low-key, as though the story might still continue; what did you think of it? To all of you that read all the way to the end of 42 volumes, thank you for sticking with me for such a long time. I’d also like to express my thanks to those of you who sent me fan-letters and presents. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to reply at all. But “thank you!!” from the bottom of my heart. Goodbye.
