なんだか今年に入ってから、更に忙しさが加速しているような気がする。連載のＤ．Ｂ．に加え、ファミコンの仕事、Ｖジャンプの仕事、友達といっしょにやっているプラモデルの仕事、その合間を縫ってボクの会社・Ｂ．Ｓ．の建築プランを何十枚と考え、ヒ～ッと悲鳴をあげている時に、愛犬が病気になってしまい通院を続けております。（おかげで犬は元気になりました。）遊ぶ時間ほし～い!!

For some reason, since this year started, it’s felt like things are getting even more hectic. On top of the Dragon Ball serialization, there’s also Famicom work, V-Jump work, work I’m doing with my friend on plastic models, and in my spare time, thinking up tens of architectural plans for my company, Bird Studio. And then, just as I’m letting out a scream of “Yeeegh!”, the family dog gets sick, and I’ve been taking her to the vet. (Thanks to that, she’s doing better.) I want time to play~!!
