Artist's commentary
Yukko, the little match girl
Her name is Yukiko Makihara, a main heroine for Tokimeki Memorial 3. Toki-Memo 3 is a dating simulation game that didn't succeed compared with great 1 and 2. The fund named "Toki-Memo Fund" was collected from eager fans for this series, but they didn't get good result.
...To tell the truth, I have never played this game. I am not an eager fan. However, I drew this oekaki for pitiful Yukiko, under an influence of the following parody strip of Toki-Memo 3...
This strip was drawn by one of real eager fans for Toki-Memo 3. I write the translation of it. We must pity Yukiko!
