Artist's commentary
Beauty and the Beast
◆Beauty – Art by: Maki Yanase
◆Beast – Art by: Genmu
~Post-Creation Discussion at "Gensou no Mori"~
Yanase: "Around this point, we started coordinating our compositions, didn't we? (laughs)"
Genmu: "If I recall, I drew my part first, and then you, Yanase-san, matched your composition to it."
Yanase: "That's right, exactly!"
Genmu: "I’m really fond of this alluring, mysterious beauty that Yanase-san created.
There’s just something great about 'dark' art, isn't there? (grins)"
Yanase: "Oh dear... I actually didn't intend for it to be 'dark' art..."
Genmu & Yanase: "(Haha!)"
Genmu: "As for things I’d change, well, the dialogue is just embarrassing! (LOL) And there are so many other things that I don’t even want to mention! (Self-destruct!)"
Yanase: "‘Captain! We’ve got one wounded!’, is that the line you find embarrassing? (Haha!)
If so, then I should be even more embarrassed, since I’m the one who wrote it!"
Genmu & Yanase: "(Bursting into laughter)"
Yanase: "My own regret is that I intended to write a lovely, frail beauty who falls in love with a beast, but she ended up becoming this mysterious, seductive girl instead. Hahaha!"
Genmu: "Nothing wrong with that! I love mysterious, seductive beauties."
Yanase: "Things I like about it... hmm... nothing! (Haha!) Oh, wait, maybe the cheesy dialogue? (LOL)"
Genmu: "Non-human characters. Period!!"
