リンちゃんが免許をとってスクーターを手に入れてという流れをみていると後輩をみているみたいで、なにか声をかけたくなってみたり余計なお世話はいけないと自制してみたり、ソワソワしてしまいます。学生時代、課題の画を描く合間にスクーターやカブやニイハンでやたらと長距離を走ってたころの気分が戻ってきます。

子供の頃はGWや夏休みには両親に連れられて、妹と弟とよくキャンプに行ってました。地元の道の駅で買ったお肉を焼いて食べたり、テントでシュラフに包まれながら眠りについたり、いつもより早起きして朝露でスニーカーを濡らしながら散歩したりしてました。広島は海も山も川あるけえ、キャンプするにはいい土地なのです。

◎日刊桐沢のイラストと漫画をまとめた本をつくりました。予備分をコミックZINさんとメロンブックスさんに預けています。

Watching Rin-chan go from here to getting her license and finally owning a scooter feels like watching a junior of mine hit their stride. It makes me either want to say something, hold myself back because it's none of my business, or feel uneasy about it. Back when I was a student, whenever I had to work on an art assignment, I'd find myself drifting back to those long rides I used to take on a scooter, a Cub, or a 250cc motorcycle.

When I was a kid, my parents would often take me and my younger brother and sister camping during Golden Week or summer vacation. We would have a barbecue with the meat we bought at a rest stop right by a local street, fall asleep in a tent as we wrapped ourselves in sleeping bags, and wake up earlier than usual to walk around in our sneakers which were soaked in the morning dew. Hiroshima has the sea, mountains, and rivers, so it's the perfect place for camping.

◎ I've compiled a collection of Daily Kirisawa illustrations and comics into a book. Extra copies are available at Comic ZIN and Melonbooks.
