Misc Lore and Questions (from the feature in quarterly "S")
There were a few bits and pieces in the feature article that didn't quite have their own section or were one-offs about a single topic so they're all pooled under this post!
Whatās your must-have while working on manga?
Iro: Japanese tea. I have a teapot that keeps around 700ml in it that I have on hand while I work, but even then I manage to empty it around 3-4 times a day. I also still use the handmade coasters that some readers gave me a while back. When Iām thinking of the story I put on ambient music that would fit what Iām trying to work on. In volume 5 for example, the scene where Nene meets the Yugi Amane of the past, I thought of that one while I had the evening notice* playing on loop for 10 hours.
Aida: I go on a two hour walk at least once a day. Some days I go to the gym, others I head to the library, sometimes I play with my hamsterā¦ That and a lot of drawing practice. I go on walks with Iro-san sometimes too.

The āBoundaryā that Connects this World and the Next
Their boundary, with its massive size and grand appearance, is a place where the Seven Mysteries are able to use their powers to the fullest. No.2 who has a path to a shrine, No.6 with the winding arched bridges, and the Clock Keepers whose boundary is made up of clock parts and giant balance springs; all boundaries are unique and leave a striking impression.
Aida: The boundaries for the Seven Mysteries are made up of two key parts; the first is something that has to do with their name as a Mystery, the second is something that doesnāt have much to do with the being themself. For example, with No.2 itās stairs and dolls, with No.5 itās bookshelves and butterflies, and so on.
No.6ās boundary is a space where there's giant lilies and buildings that look like stacked stones in the Childrenās Limbo*, however this is the look of the afterlife heād only heard of from someone in the past. I think he created it with this image of paradise in mind. The unrelated things here are the lotus root spirits. (The one-eyed creatures that speak in the ma-column of the alphabet.) A boundary Iād like to go to is Yakoās.
Iro: The boundary Iād like to visit most is also No.2ās, itās very photogenic, insta-worthy even.
The Mokke who Lurk through Daily Life
Iro: Itās always fun writing the mokke, Iād actually like for them to have more appearances in the main storyā¦ But unfortunately, no matter how serious the plot gets, the mokke will still live their lives as they always do.

Notes:
- Evening notices are general PSAs played throughout the streets around the late afternoon to early evening as a signal for children to head home before dark. You can see this shown in the exact scene Iro was talking about in chapter 22.
- The Children's Limbo is a part of the Japanese depiction of hell where the souls of children who predecease their parents are made to stack stones by the riverside to supposedly build a tower to climb their way into paradise.
I just really enjoyed this clip of Krinkels talking about Deimosā character

āSee, like, I feel like Deimos would absolutely be traumatized by all this if he ever stopped and thought. If he everā¦had like a- if he wasnāt on autopilot 24/7. Like if he ever stops and thinks, thatās it for him. Cause this shits too much.ā
