Lunch Break

AraleSo, Yako-sensei, what led you to start drawing the illustrations for "Magilulu"?

MiyakoHuh, you're starting with that question...?

AraleWhen it comes to a feature on you, we just have to start there, sensei! As a fan, I wanna cover the origins first, y'know...!

AraleAh, but with the recent shift in "Chupasachu," I'm also super tempted to dig deeper into your creative approach...!

NonokaLately, Miyako-chan's skin has been all smooth and glowy!

YunoWhy do you answer, Miyanaga-san?

Ritsu? This was supposed to be interview practice, wasn't it?

YunoIt's Fuji-san's interview. It's for a web media outlet, right?

MiyakoYes, they will do an interview with me as a manga artist, but I don't have any experience with interviews.

AraleThat's why we're doing a rehearsal, right?

NonokaIt's Nono-chan's idea! Some things only make sense once you've tried them~!

NonokaSo, Miyako-chan! After being born with a "Waah," what did you do next?

MiyakoI don't think they will ask about the moment I was born...

MiyakoNo, maybe they will ask...? What kind of questions did they ask you, Minetsuki-san?

RitsuHmm... I don't really remember.

RitsuBack then, I just said whatever was prepared for me.

MiyakoI see... Then, what about you, Sengoku-san?

YunoHuh...? I don't remember what I said. Lately, I've been declining most of them anyway.

MiyakoNo leads, then...

NonokaMiyako-chan!

NonokaWhat do you like about MewType?

MiyakoLike I said, this is an interview with me as a manga artist...

NonokaNo, no! It's time for the Nono-chan interview.

NonokaTell me an unforgettable moment from when MewType got together!

MiyakoHuh...

NonokaAnd what changed after you became "MewType"?

MiyakoWhat changed...

NonokaDo you think the anpan you eat with MewType is more delicious?

AraleNono-chan-san, that's more like an otaku's duty, so it's not a favorite food...!

YunoIs this actually helping as practice?

AraleI guess we're not really the right people to practice a Yako-sensei feature interview, are we...

MiyakoActually, there are things that have changed since I met MewType.

Everyone!

MiyakoWhen we wrote a song together at the beach.

MiyakoMusic just came to life naturally from a casual conversation.

MiyakoI put my sound on someone else's idea, and that sound sparked even more ideas...

MiyakoThat was the first time I'd ever experienced creating something together with someone else.

Yuno...

MiyakoUntil then, I'd always thought I had to create something perfect from the very start.

MiyakoBut now I know that even if it's rough and unfinished, if we share and create it together, it'll still take shape.

MiyakoAnd that's something I only learned after I joined MewType.

MiyakoIt was like the moment I understood, once I created something with someone else...

Arale、Nonoka...

MiyakoOh... This is for the interview...

AraleEven if this is just practice! I'm really glad I got to hear your thoughts like this, Miyako-san!

MiyakoIs that so...?

RitsuYes. Back then, I never imagined you'd say something like that, Miyako-san.

NonokaWith Miyako-chan's warm feelings, Nono-chan's heart gets all warm too~~!

YunoWhy don't you talk about that in the actual interview too?

MiyakoWell, but...

AraleYou should definitely do that!! As a fan, getting to know your creative values is the best!

NonokaIf Miyako-chan talks about MewType, I'll buy tons of copies of the magazine and hand them out to everyone~!

YunoWait, is this for a print magazine interview again?

RitsuI think they said it was a web media outlet.

NonokaThen I'll share the link everywhere!

AraleI'll spread it everywhere too!

MiyakoI see...

MiyakoThat's it.

On the Day of the Interview

InterviewerThank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule.

InterviewerThen, sensei, once again, nice to meet you.
