Making of Black Bird ▪Two▪ by Sakurakoji

"I thought of doing this story when I happened to see *karasu tengu mechanical doll. I thought it looked really cool, and couple of days later, I had the general outline of the story and characters written down and handed in. I have no idea why it turned into a story like this.

"After Kyo transforms he wears a beak because the doll I saw had one."

*Karasu tengu are a type of tengu. The name literally means "crow tengu," and they tend to look half human and half crow.

Kanoko Sakurakoji

(From the book.)

This is the brush of our favorite and very talented manga author, Kanoko Sakurakoji. She's been using this brush 8 years as a cartoonist. She said, "This brush is pretty small and short. And it feels great. New brush pattern is excessively long, and breaks easily from my bother. So, this one is really important to me."
