Author's Commentary #560:
Time to talk about Chapter 560: Appointment for two.
Whelp, surprise, surprise, more cute girls are booked for bald, with Mimoko looking to be first up again. Himari once again makes an appearance, but is not named. Honestly considering making it a running gag that she's never referred to by name, but that depends on how much screentime I ultimately decide to give her. Speaking of crossovers, Hina from Spice of life and Mystery ghost foresight is here. Time to do her bio as well.
小津鹿 ひまり (Odzuka Himari) is how Himari's name would be spelled in Japanese. Her surname, 小津鹿, means "small", "ferry", and "deer". Her first name is written entirely in hiragana, even though there are kanji for "Himari", I decided to go with this for her name.
Her birthday is January 9th, which is the day Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? was first published.
Her favorite piece is the knight.
ステファニー・メッチェンボス (Stephanie Mädchenboss) is how Stephanie's name would be spelled in katakana. Her surname roughly translates to "girl boss".
Her birthday is March 6th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
リディア・ラシュリー (Lydia Lashley) is how Lydia's name would be spelled in katakana.
Her birthday is February 21st, which is the day There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless... was first published.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
禿末 暖 (Tokusue Hina) is how Hina's name is written in kanji. 暖 means "warm" while 禿末 means "bald" and "end".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Her birthday is July 7th which is also the day Tanabata is celebrated.
Her favorite piece is the queen.
Now that the bios are done, allow me to celebrate the fact that this chapter marks exactly one continuous year of me uploading daily chapters. To be honest, I thought I'd end up taking a break, yet here I managed to upload a year straight with no breaks. I doubt I'll do this for another year straight though. I still need to build up my backlog.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
