"Curry × Rice" First Half

Good morning, everyone! The printer just delivered our book!

Allow me to open the box! Ooh, this is so exciting.

Yeah, I can't wait to see it. How about you, Alter? You think this one came out well?

'Course it did. It's too bad I ran out of time at the end and couldn't polish it as much as I wanted...

...but aside from that it was pretty kick-ass. I'm positive it turned out great.

Now...ooopen sesame! Let's see how this spicy masterpiece turned out!

Whoa... I don't know how it ended up like this, but this cover is wicked awesome...!

I'm sure the inside is just as awesome!

It tells an epic, gripping tale just brimming with spectacle and suspense! It's far greater than the sum of its parts!

This is great. I've always liked destined duels.

Of course, in my case, the duels I fought were all over in a flash, so I never experienced much in the way of drama.

(Sigh) This is exactly why I hate overpowered heroes.

They have no idea what it's like to go through life laying traps, preparing poisons, or crawling around in stinky bogs, just to survive another day.

That said...I might not have any interest in fighting a duel to the death myself...

...but I can tell this kind of story'll be a big hit. It's pretty badass, and that Indian king movie is awesome.

So this book should suit the tastes of people like Lord Robin and myself.

Perhaps that means it has universal appealthe kind that will create quite a buzz for our book.

That sounds like...going viral! It's exactly what we want!

Going viral, huh. Hehe, I like the sound of that.

All right, let's head to the con then. We've still gotta set up the table and unpack the books!
