No, don't apologize!

182-3 To tell the truth, this all started because of his teasing.

That will be 472 yen

191-8 Welcome

Loan me 500 yen

Geez

191-9 This could have happened

And they might have just forgotten about it

191-10 And so here is "Hourou Musuko" vol. 1. As always, I Shimura Takato, draw a story where the characters don't look very different, the panels are too white, and everything has a heaping helping of pathos. Whether those who are familiar with my work, and for those who aren't, continue to read my work or not consumes my thoughts. Each time, the characters get smaller and more Loli, as with the current work. Sorry!
