That girl is the daughter of the Great Duke of Othlo Dukedom... Sharing the blood of the Great Duke, that makes her the legitimate Duchess. *Tilt* Kojiro: WHA?! ====================================================================================== P.134 Kojiro: Alissa is... The daughter of a Great Duke... Alissa: ...... Gear: Right now in Othlo Dukedom, there's discord between moving on a republican system, and carrying on the monarchy system... Kojiro: ......

Alissa: ...... ====================================================================================== P.161 Kojiro: Will you go back? To your country... Alissa: You're mistaken... Kojiro: Huh? Alissa: I'm... I'm not a duchess. It's true that my father is a Great Duke. But my mother was an ordinary woman... As a matter of course, they weren't allowed to marry... Furthermore, my mother was banished from the country... And thus, she came to Dolphan. ====================================================================================== P.162 Alissa: My home is here. I don't have anywhere else to go... Kojiro: ......

Sophia/Sam/Jake: Ah! *SDUM* ====================================================================================== P.168 Kojiro: He he he! Alissa: See yaaa! Kojiro: FAREWELL, DOLPHAN!! Mitsumete Knight: Another Story - END ====================================================================================== P.169 Making of Mitsumete Knight: Another Story ====================================================================================== P.170 Takenami: Nice to meet you. I'm Takenami. The book form of "Mitsumete Knight" was somehow completed without a hitch too, but... I've got the feeling I've been drawing it for a very long time... Taking the game into account, I've been following the "Mitsumete Knight" universe for 4 years... "Mitsumete" is my first serialized manga, and my first manga in book form. I treasure it sooooo much! *Eh he he* *On the book: "Mitsumete"* *Frrsh frrsh* Alissa: You're gross. Takenami: *ARGH!* Chapter 1's Making of. Kojiro: Go!! Takenami: Well then, what I remember about Chapter 1. The guest character, naturally, was Sophia. Lots of people must have thought: "Eh?! The game characters aren't the heroines here?!" But well, lots of things happened, and since you can follow the story of the game's characters in the game anyway, it has been decided it would be better to make the game's characters sub-characters, and tell the story of a new heroine. *The three punks* Takenami: They're the first game characters to appear in the game. They're easy to use, those guys. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Note AceNoctali: + + Takenami is mistaken, the Burston Brothers aren't the first characters to appear in the game; + + the first ones actually are Piko and Mieu. Very important, as the characters' order of + + appearance has a very symbolic significance in one of the game's endings. /MitsuKni nerd mode + + off + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ====================================================================================== P.171 Chapter 2's Making of. Takenami: Well then, about Chapter 2. The guest character is the young baker, Sue. Anyway, in that chapter, the bread in the background were hell to draw. (I'm the one who draw the backgrounds in "Mitsumete"; people who can draw haven't found it out...) The goal of that chapter was to show Kojiro and Alissa getting closer, but... Chapter 3's Making of. Takenami: Well then, about Chapter 3, um... The editor told me this... *On the editor's head: "Nut"* Editor: Let's put an event from the game in it. Takenami: Nice idea. And as such, we've included the Sword Master Tournament, but... For the Chapter's storyboard, I've proposed storyboard... Editor: Uuum, could you please work on it some more...? Takenami: Haa... After storyboard... Editor: Uuum, some more...? Takenami: Haa... After storyboard... Editor: Uuum... Takenami: Haa... *UWAAAAARGH!!* After storyboard, and after storyboard, and he wouldn't accept any of them! I had to redo it from scratch 4 times, and correct it up to 10 times to add some small details. At this rate, I thought it would never get a pass... What's more, from that time on, I had the feeling the editor didn't want to see me... *URGH...* And, well... All of a sudden, as we drew closer from the deadline to give out the Chapter, me and my assistant thought we would die... I caused lots of trouble to many people in this Chapter... Please excuse me... *Bow* ====================================================================================== P.172 Chapter 4's Making of. Takenami: Well then, about Chapter 4. Gear makes his first entrance in there. (We got a glimpse of him in Chapter 3 though.) Errrrr... Aside from that... I don't remember anything notable. Alissa: Heeeey, what's with you...? Takenami: Well... I wonder myself... Chapter 5's Making of. Takenami: Chapter 5. Somehow Gene appears like a main character in that Chapter. The three punks appeared once again in there. Well then, about Chapter 5... In truth, I've presented its storyboard along with Chapter 6 and 7's... And unusually, they got a pass on the first try! I was surprised! ...I disgress, but... Before Chapter 5, I got a holiday, but that didn't mean I've put my manuscript aside. That's a serial magazine for you... I was surprised. ====================================================================================== P.173 Chapter 6's Making of. Takenami: So, Chapter 6. It was the same with Chapter 5, but it's tough drawing night scenes. The tone... And what's more, the rain falling... Chapter 7's Making of. Takenami: Well then, the Final Chapter. Kojiro's little sister, Suzuka, makes her entrance in there. In truth, I wanted to draw more about this, but I couldn't really do much more. Page restraints and all... Kojiro and Alissa's lovey-dovey scene was awfully embarrassing to draw. My assistant too teased me about this... Assistant: Wow, how lovey-doveeeey! Takenami: SHUT UP!! *BLUSH* Takenami: And thus, to end the Final Chapter, The guest character of choice, sure enough, was Sophia. However, each time she appears, she gets attacked, huh. With this... The Making of is over. Haaaa... It went a long way. *That coffee is delicious...* *Haaaa...* Alissa: It was a mere seven chapters however. Takenami: Well anyway. ... Alissa: ... Takenami: Since I've finished the manga, I've got fond memories about it, but... But really, it's tough drawing a manga. *Nah, really...* ====================================================================================== P.174 Takenami: By the way. About Alissa... Alissa: Hm? Me? Takenami: In fact, she originally was a pickpocket girl who was cut out from the game's final build. Alissa: Huuuuum... Then you mean that it was too much of a hassle to think about a new heroine? Takenami: Nah, it's just that she interested me... Well then, With this, "Mitsumete Knight: Another Story" is over. Alissa: It's been brought to a conclusion, after all. Takenami: If I persevered and went this far, it's thanks to you all readers. I'm looking forward for the day we will meet again, wherever it may be. See you!
