MaruMA:Volume04:Murakenzu
Completion statement - Murakenzu Style
"Good eveni~nyaaaa, I'm Murakenzu's Murata Ken!"
".... I'm Shibuya"
"What's up with you, Shibuya-kun? You have to be more like Ishii-chan or Miyasako." [1]
"Why do you put such expectations on me?"
"Speaking of expectations, what about this novel's title!? I mean what's the abbreviation of the novel?"
"Tomorrow MA"
"Right. In the last issue of "Tonight MA", we wondered "Will Shibuya return to Japan?" and "What will happen with this whole engagement matter?" and... "Is it true that Muraken doesn't have a girlfriend?" and all these questions were expected to be answered in this volume..."
"Tomorrow MA"
"But that didn't happen. You see, these questions were not beautifully, properly-pon answered. I want to know why Günter is the type who would always be included in a group photo, and why Shibuya doesn't like girls his own age. There are just so many mysteries! Well now if this..."
"...Tomorrow MA..."
"... has made you come up with some guess and conjectures, please tell me, Muraken! It'll make me happy to receive some emails about it. But now we, must deliver the completion statement- Muraken style, and that means that the "Kyou Kara MA series" arc[2] has concluded (?) and in the next installment I fear that there might even be greater questions to be answered. In any case, here's a short sneak preview. Günter-san had his secret "item" read by some strangers, and some of his fans are starting to get noisy, but then.... a suspicious shadow starts following him around. That person is a talented editor that wants to publish his diary. This talented person, isn't a little dog that would reach into the paper bin with his arm, right? I mean... just in case? So before starting the next arc make a promise to read it... "
"...Tomorrow Ma."
"Shibuya Parco-san[3] will start keeping a beach diary, and in this beach diary you'll see stuff like: July 1st -Stormy, or August first - clear weather, or September 1st- ME! for example, stuff like that. This it will probably also have a very Kayama Yuuzo[4] feel to it, like a young master on a yacht.
"...Leg ball" (Ashi tama = Ashita MA= Tomorrow MA)
"But let's forget about Parco-san[5] for a bit... what will Shibuya Yuuri do next time? Or rather if you pay attention to the title "His Excellency and the MA Love Journal?!"[6] it seems to give you some hints here and there, huh?"
"... Tomorrow no" (there's no MA)
"Didn't you make a mistake there?"
