Artist's commentary
Ika-(O)nee-chan: "Wow, long time no see!"
- The annoying passage begins here. Be careful!
When I was an elementary school student, I often got together and played with my classmates in the neighborhood.
I don't remember exactly when, but one day, all of a sudden, my friend Aizawa brought along a strange girl.
We played together and did lots of things together with her, but now when I look back on it, coming to see her was the reason that most of us got together.
Nobody said it out loud, but everyone must've liked her.
But as we got older we naturally got together less and less, and by the time we were entering junior high, we'd all found new groups to hang out with.
When I was in the third grade of junior high, studying for high school entrance exams was putting me on edge, and I was sleeping less and less. One day I went out for a breath of fresh air.
I was thinking vaguely about those times, and I finally arrived at the seaside restaurant "Lemon", where Aizawa was working part time.
...And there she was.
