Artist's commentary
The Final Diagnosis
The 26th, it finally came, huh? I actually started drawing this around the time of Michishige-san's birthday and at that time I never thought it would really end. Originally, I used to almost be a Hikikomori, but I got fascinated by Michishige-san, became able to make digital illustrations of her, find work as an illustrator and somehow am rehabilitating in society. My gratitude knows no bounds. However, in the end Michishige-san—I wasn't able to convey my thanks to her. At least, so that my gratitude won't become a lie, I really want to devote myself to becoming a person of strong determination like Michishige-san. Michishige-san, thank you so much! Congratulations on graduating.
