Author's Commentary #690:
Time to talk about Chapter 690: Himitsudono's open secret evenings.
That's right, Himitsudono is getting a routine chapter. It makes sense given he's pretty much the next major side character in line that didn't have one yet. And as one might expect, I'm rather secretive when it comes to revealing stuff about him.
That being said, there are some parts of his routine that are well known, such as him managing his secret puzzle cafe in the evenings. Him roaming the gardens during the day was something I had in mind for a while, ever since I settled on having Mito be the site of his secret puzzle cafe.
On a different note, we're now just 10 chapters away from the big 700. I'm not sure if I'll do routine chapters or character profile chapters in the lead-up to it, but I do figure after it will probably herald the start of the next season. No promises though as this one will really require a lot of planning, mostly in regards to the team compositions.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
