The dryad who lives in the summit of the mountain brews the highest-class alcohol of perpetual youth and longevity substantially [ of the plum which can be taken only at once in 100 ]. It is the tradition which gets across to this mountain. The tale of the man who visited at the summit of the mountain for the first time in 200 years, and the dryad who did a tiger's face

たとえおとぎ話のような現実がそこにあっても、 自分がそこで見て感じた全てのモノは真実であって、 その真実こそが最もウソ臭い…だけど、 あなたが「見たもの」「感じたもの」だけを信じなさい。 even if reality like a children's story is there, all the things that he saw and felt there will be true, and just the truth will be like a lie --, however you should just believe "what was seen", and "the felt thing" と言うお話を描こうとしたのですが、4枚じゃ うまくまとまりませんでしたね。 しかし、とても完成度の高い 良い作品が描けたと自負しています。 Although it was going to draw the talk said so, in 4 pages, it was not collected well. However, I am self-confident as that the very highly complete good work was able to be drawn.

98年に「ALVINISM」と言うこの作品集の初版本を出して、 自分の持ち込み生活みたいなのを一段落させた時に、 自分が尊敬しているケモノ作家さん、好きなケモノ作家さんなどに 沢山郵送したのですけれど、 その年の秋頃に突然、サークル「TEAM SHUFFLE」さんから 作品集の感想と「獣之書5」の原稿依頼のお手紙を頂きました。 The first edition book of this collection of works called "ALVINISM" in 98 was published, and a way of life like the practice life about its comics was made settled temporarily. The book was sent to the animal writer whom he respects then, or the favorite animal writer. The comment of the collection of works and the letter of a manuscript request of "Book of the beast 5" were suddenly got from "TEAM SHUFFLE" around October of the year. この時自分の漫画に対し かなり自信を無くしていた長谷川にとって、 この作品の執筆はとても重要なものとなりました。 For me who had abolished confidence considerably to my comics at this time, writing of this work became very important.

キャラクターや設定などは以前に考えた物などを 膨らませてケモノっぽいモノに仕上げた、と言う感じです。 ネタバレになりますが、 東京三世社からの単行本「艶（いろ）は匂えど」（現在絶版） と言う本に含まれている「御命言（みことのり）」と言う読切が 原型になっています。 It is the touch referred to as that characters, a setup, etc. blew up the thing considered before, and made animal comics to it. Although it will be that the secret is given away, complete [ which is called "divine message of God" contained in the book called collection "sex appeal drifts" (the present out of print) of works which came from "the third Tokyo" ] is a prototype. 興味ある方はメールでお問い合わせ下さい。 同人誌書店での取り扱いはすでに終了しております。 Those interested need to give me mail.
