Author's Commentary #689:
Time to talk about Chapter 689: Tenju's tearjerking evenings.
I decided to do at least one more routine chapter, this time focusing on Tenju. It's probably the saddest of the bunch. Really the drive of trying to give Taira a good legacy is the only thing keeping Tenju going.
That being said, in the volume revision, while Taira still dies there, it's far less tragic compared to how she did here. Still, Taira living on in her mind as a ghost doesn't make things any easier for Tenju.
Now that Tenju's routine chapter is done, that pretty much covers all the major side characters from Japan. However, I do have one more character in mind who I could do a routine chapter for.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
