Artist's comments: "Kihara Yuiitsu & Kihara Noukan. Unlike the Kamisato girls, Yuiitsu-san’s concept was to be normal looking, so that’s what she is. I overlooked some previous opportunities for an illustration of Noukan-sensei because I was waiting for the most exciting place to first show him. But… My personal first candidate was the Shundou battle in Volume 11, but since a fully-armored dog vs. a killer whale in a tank would have been a strange illustration, I rejected the idea myself. I remember thinking it was not so much how hard the illustration would have been, but more that it was not really a good “character illustration” and Volume 11 was Shokuhou-san’s story anyway."―Haimura Kiyotaka
