 * Q&A #1, 7:49 PM: Fuyukawa - Analog/Digital Drawing

29/09/2020

 * Q&A #1, 12:25 AM: Trick Art original plan (multiple thread)
 * English translation, js06 (multiple thread)
 * Q. What was the most difficult scene in any manga you've worked on?
 * A. Railgun Ch10. Both coming up with the polarization power and putting together the fight scene. Fuyukawa was still not used to doing action scenes and then Kamachi rejected our original idea for the enemy's power. It was only after getting the polarization power OK'd that we got a storyboard put together. But that wasn't any good and the whole thing was rejected and it ultimately ended up the way it is in the final manga. Railgun has been running for 13 years, but (I think) Ch10 was the only time an entire chapter was rejected. The original idea for Trick Art's power was precognition that let him see 1 second into the future. That idea was later reworked as a certain kunoichi's power.
 * Q&A #2, 12:53 AM:
 * Q&A #3, 1:01 AM: Interesting stories about Fuyukawa
 * English translation, js06
 * Q. Are there any interesting stories about Fuyukwa like there are for Kamachi?
 * A. For a while, only female assistants applied for the job and it was amusing how uncomfortable he looked as the only guy in the workplace.

 * Q&A #1, 8:15 PM: Scavenger in Dream Ranker arc was Fuyukawa's suggestion

 * English translation, js06
 * Q. Why wasn't Railgun's Hanzou chapter included in the tankobon?

 * Q&A #24, 10:56 AM:
 * English translation, Reddit
 * Q: Do Frenda and Saten know each other's name?
