Author's Commentary #46:
Time to talk about Chapter 46: Col Masaru's fried chicken.
With a title like that, you can probably guess why I decided to keep this chapter in my contest entry version. An obvious KFC parody, Col Masaru's fired chicken is not only a new hit at Ryokoma, but it is also the favorite meal of Yuni, who is not only the twintailed girl in this chapter, but also one of the main protagonists of Escape Witch. While Yuni herself doesn't have a major role in the story, she is a recurring character. Speaking of which, I might as well give bios on her and her family.
二川 優似 (Futagawa Yuni) is how her name is spelled in kanji. 二川 means "two rivers" while 優似 means "skilled" and "resembling".
Her birthday is February 1st.
Her favorite food is Col Masaru's fried chicken. Fried chicken in general is her favorite food, however, Col Masaru's is easily her favorite fried chicken.
As for the triplets, their names are Kasumi, Nika, and Miku. 二川 一美 (Futagawa Kasumi) is how her name is written in kanji. 一美 means "one" and "beautiful".
二川 二花 (Futagawa Nika) is how Nika's name is written in kanji. 二花 means "two" and flower". 二川 三久 (Futagawa Miku) is how Miku's name is spelled in kanji. 三久 means "three" and "ancient".
Their birthday is March 3rd and their favorite food is strudel cake.
二川 ハワード (Futagawa Howard) is how Howard's name is written in Japanese. He's half American, and half Japanese and works at a large architectural company in America.
His birthday is December 25th which is also Christmas day.
His favorite food is gumbo.
二川 一心 (Futagawa Hitomi) is how Hitomi's name is written in kanji. 一心 means "one" and "heart".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Her birthday is February 2nd which she also shares with her twin sister.
Her favorite food is egg rolls.
Speaking of Escape Witch, the other main characters in the series will also be appearing in this story. Yuni's the only one that will appear in Season 1 though.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
