It's a me. I'm an aspiring light novel writer hoping to one day see my works in anime form. I hope that my works at least brighten up your day and give you something to look forward to.

Author's Commentary #723:

Time to talk about Chapter 723: Mimoko's interview.
Really basic stuff with this one, which will be a trend for these interviews going forward. I was considering making it longer, but this was all I felt like writing.

As for Mimoko, I think that aside from Peter and Daria, no one has managed to beat her, or draw her in a proper match. That being said, Mimoko hasn't faced off against everyone out there.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Here's the game between Utami and Benihime from Chapter 6 featured the new opening, the Japanese Opening. This opening and it's variations, believe it or not, are going to play a big role in upcoming seasons of the series so look forward to that.

Here's the game between Yumi and Iori from Chapter 4. It features a Vienna Game: Frankenstein-Dracula Variation. It also shows you why you should never play a Bongcloud, or Boocloud as it's referred to in the chapter. Perhaps we'll call this the Vienna Game: Frankenstein-Dracula, Boocloud Mate.

Here's the game between Iori and Rika from Chapter 3. It's essentially a one-sided slaughter which makes sense given the skill difference between the two players. Thanks to her beating Fianna, Iori's rating has increased.

Author's Commentary #722:

Time to talk about Chapter 722: After these messages.
I've found the perfect way to put the series in character profile mode before jumping into the tournament. But first, let's do Country Vanilla's bio.

カントリー・ヴァニラ (Country Vanilla) is how his name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is July 23rd, which is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. It's also Mimoko's birthday, coincidentally enough.

His favorite piece is the pawn, as they look the most like ice cream to him.

Getting back to the topic at hand, there's no way I can pump out games right away, especially now that there's a new contest. Since I also want to keep up my daily upload streak, I've decided to go with this format. Unlike the standard character profile chapters, these will be interview-style, with Kisha having a conversation with each of the participants.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Not a fan of the italicized formatting for the character's speech. I can understand trying to use different formatting for artistic purposes, but as someone who tried to do that before, believe me, it's really hard to pull off.

Literally this latest episode of Mayonaka Heart Tune had a focus on karaoke. Comparing this to that is going to be a theme.

You've got some good ideas. If I had to nitpick though, I'd say the transition from third person to first person is too sudden. Maybe separate those sections into a prologue and Chapter 1. That, or give a better indicator of the perspective change than just "Morning came". Also, there isn't a need for so much boldened text. Try to cut back on it.

Need to bring my colored water down to the pawn shop to see if it's actually real or just... colored water. Wasn't bought from a street vendor at the very least though.

I'm surprised she doesn't try implementing self-imposed odds, like playing a Meadow Hay or something of the like. Kind of see some Morphy parallels with her.

Author's Commentary #721:

Time to talk about Chapter 721: Now you know the muffin man.
So yeah, I'm tired. I doubt I'll be jumping straight into the tournament any time soon. I've just been really exhausted lately. As such, you might want to expect short little chapters like this.

One tidbit I will point out is that Country Vanilla is actually a character I've had in mind for months. He's based off some ice cream parlor guy who I encountered in my childhood. The memory I have is that when I was leaving, he said to come again to try a new flavor, country vanilla, coming soon. And that's why this guy is called Country Vanilla. I'll do his bio later.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Happy two-year anniversary to this series, and Happy Birthday to Fifi, Fidelma, and Crina as well. Whether you've been reading since last year, or just getting started now, thank you for all the support you've given this series. Here's to another two years of En Passant Grandmaster.
