Author's Commentary #683:
Time to talk about Chapter 683: Numakawa's big brain evenings.
Just like with Yuzuha, all of Numakawa's routines are compiled into a single chapter instead of three separate ones, largely due to the amount of content within them. The same will be true of Rodeo's and any other character routine and bio chapters henceforth.
One notable thing you'll notice about Numakawa's chapter is that unlike the others, his is written in passing, as he's no longer alive. Had I put this in at the end of Volume 2 instead of Volume 3, the volume that adapts all of Season 5, this wouldn't be a thing.
On the topic of Numakawa, here in this version of the story I do have a plotline going where Jackie Egghead claims to have inherited Numakawa's memories. Regardless if she has or hasn't, her routines are far different from Numakawa's. Perhaps I'll showcase this in a future chapter.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
