Sasaki Kotoko
I checked the shots I had taken and they were all cute.
Sorry, I lied.
Depending on the costume and situation, it was cool and interesting, and Ash was cute, heartwarming, and exciting and the best.
There are many expressions that you wouldn’t see in your usual work, so I’m excited to see what kind of book it will be.
Ash also said it was fun.
I would be happy if everyone could enjoy it too.
I hope that this year, Kotoko Day, where some people get excited every year, will all be excited.
