Wow, thanks for translating it, Nobuteru Yuuki's art is amazing and I'm glad someone finally noticed this manga! Too bad it was never finished, I also noticed the girl from the prologue looks kinda similar to Noel, maybe there was some idea behind that that never was realized. By the way, who's that Ikukame interviewer?
Also great to find out you picked up Itoh Sei's work earlier, he's awesome too. Do you plan on translating anything else?
