Hello everyone. This is kind of random but I JUST GOTTA EXPRESS SOME REAL APPRECIATION FOR SOMEONE REAL QUICK



For a couple of years, since 2015, I’ve been working with a guy we’ll call Mr. Ninigi. Mr. Ninigi reached out and wanted to work with me to create the light novel for Echo, and he has been so kind and patient for so many years. When I was helping develop the direction of the novel, I made little drawings of Primadonna (the echo girl) in silly poses and he thought they were so cute that he put them in between the chapters of the book. The Echo light novel is currently being translated into 3 different languages, including the language you’re reading right now and it is coming very soon but I’m not allowed to say anything so just pretend that you have no idea what I’m talking about. Mr. Ninigi has been going out of his way to try very hard to translate the book into Tagalog (not one of the 3 confirmed languages,) so the Filipino side of my family can read it. He told me this today, and I could not help but cry. He’s believed in me this whole time.

There’s always someone out there fighting for you, even in the most unlikely of places. Thank you, Mr. Ninigi.
