3-gatsu no Lion Omake 8

WHEW! Volume 8's done, dangit! Awesome. Welp, time to start on volume 9. I'm really hoping I can keep a steady pace of some kind up and finish this series sometime in the near future at long last. I've been doing this for over 3 years now...

Balloon: Umino and Her Happy Friends
Chica: To everyone holding this book,
thank you so very much.
I'm Umino Chika.
Following the manuscript exhibition in Tokyo I had in 2011, in 2012 I did one in Oosaka, Okayama, Hakata, Sendai, and Niigata!!
For me, a manuscript exhibition
is also a 'back exhibiton'
because I stare intensely at everyone's backs.
Apparently I'll also be having manuscript exhibitions in a few places in 2013.
I can't wait to go
to meet everyone's backs again!!
Handwritten: Impressions Notebook at the Exhibiton
SFX: KAKI KAKI (SCRATCH SCRATCH)
Bottom: Check out my twitter @3.lion, kay?! ☆

Chica: If you've got a lot of things to be working hard on, first you need to be healthy!!
----So I bought a small juicer.
Handwritten (Left): Very Simple...
SFX: CHAHCAI
Chica: It can mix together things like 'bassica rapa + apples'
or 'bananas + soy flour + yogurt + low fat milk'
Bag: Soy Flour
Carton: Low Fat Milk
Chica: But it's a small mixer so it has a small amount of horsepower.
Handwritten: Apple
SFX: GAAGAAA
So it doesn't mix all that well.
SFX: WASSHA WASSHA BUN BUN...
Chica: Once when I didn't have a lot of time it got rather frustrating.
Handwritten: C'mon, I want to drink it...
SFX: BUIN BUIN GAH
Chica: Then I thought 'Oh, I know!! I'll push the apples to the bottom!!'
SFX: VIH
SFX: PUSUH
Umi: And I cut my finger on the blade inside.☆
Handwritten: (Of course!!)
Umiko, are you an idiot?
Chica: No, not your fingers. Your fingers are your treasures! You can't just stick them in a mixer! What are you doing?!!
Handwritten: Hugging herself
Chica: Ah! In that case, how about using this? -----I thought of this...
Handwritten: Wooden Spoon
SFX: PAH

Umi: If I use this I'll be 100% safe.
Nice one, Umiko☆! You're so smart☆!!
SFX: GUIH KACHIH
SFX: BOHAH HAH BACHI BOGIH BAKI BEKIH BISHIH GARIH BEKIH VIIHHH BAKIH
Umi: Try to notice, Umiko... Before the spoon turns into splinters!!!
*Everyone, please never do something this stupid. Promise me, okay...?
Handwritten: Apple juice filled with bits of wood
This volume 8 is brought to you by that very Umiko!!
I put all I had into drawing it...
Beam: Beam
Handwritten: Trying to hide, apparently
Sign: Bookstore
Books: Lion
Umi: I think on the day it goes on sale, I'll go to a bookstore again
and stare at everyone's backs.
Those are my happiest moments.
Books: Vol. 8
SFX: JIIII... (Stare)
Umi: I want to thank everyone that makes those 'happy moments' possible from the bottom of my heart...
I want to keep tirelessly drawing pushing out page after page through all the difficulty.
Handwritten: Mama gives her regards
Umi: Knowing that you keep reading makes me so happy.
Umino Chica
