This is news for my Kickstarter backers (which is actually most of you) but I'm announcing it here first. I've decided to just stop wherever I am with the bonus chapter by Friday evening, put in the font and such Saturday, and then get the PDF made and sent out Sunday. Then the book will go to print the next day or day after, once I've double checked everything.  This book took way way way too long to finish, so I'm corking it Friday even if I feel like I could still put more tone in and such. It's the bonus chapter, it doesn't need to be perfect. The rest of the book is finished and just in need of a final page check.

I've also decided to go ahead and let you guys know what's going on with my health. I know a lot of you have been concerned, so I don't want you to think there is something wrong with me. I'm actually pregnant ^^;; 

We learned just a couple of days after I went to the hospital and since then I've been dealing with morning sickness, weird body changes, and a complete lack of  energy that I cannot even explain. I'm not normally one to take a nap but every day, no matter how much I sleep, I will get dizzy and a headache if I don't lie down and sleep for a bit (and always at about 2 pm). You are also unable to take any medication at all in your first trimester and I've had nothing to combat my allergies. It SUCKS. 

I'm in good health (other than my allergies) and the baby is doing well, but the first trimester is apparently the hardest for a lot of people, so though the book was supposed to be finished by early May, I couldn't find the time in between getting sick, going to doctors, etc to work at the pace I wanted to. 

So now you know! I'm not dying of cancer or anything, no need to worry. I'm just going through some very unusual physical changes at the moment. I haven't announced this to a lot of friends yet, either, but I wanted you all to know because I hate leaving you guys in the dark when it comes to the comic, and this has caused (yet another) delay in this book's release. But I'm wrapping things up, and it's going to be done by this weekend. 

Now I have to go hold my stomach and groan for a bit... :o

So then a big congratulation is in order :-) - and its great to hear your health is ok :-) --- And hey i dont think that people will be mad about that, lets see, nobody was mad for the first dealy because you updated everyone, and there was so much art that nobody can argue that you did nothing, and with this i think everyone will have no problem if a nother delay will happen - at least, i have no problems with that ;-)

OMG I'm so happy for you, Ogawa-san. Congratulations!

For starters, Congratulations! :D - It is good to know that nothing bad is going on (minus the small side health hick-ups, those parts don't sound to fun, but I know you can get through it. You've been one that doesn't seem to give up during when things are going hard). and like NiWo21k has said, I don't think people will be mad about it, from what I've seen of them so far, this has been a pretty understanding and easy going bunch. :)

I'm still stumped as to how no one guessed this when you went "condition". @_______@ Anyway, if you're thinking of names I have a suggestion... How about "cnhsgqtwec"? Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue.
