Ryukishi: People who learned about the game through Comiket became fewer. Ryukishi: I remember opening it one day and seeing that it suddenly went to about 120, and I was like “Hyah-hoy!”… We’ve had more than a few visitors since then, and I wondered where those visitors came from.īT: That thread had both old-timers and newcomers, and the really old customers were people who came after events but recently people began to come thanks to the manga adaptation. Ryukishi: Back then, when we were really unknown, our average on the website counter was about 80 visitors a day. There is a “Where did you encounter with Higurashi?” thread on the forum, and while looking through it, I was wondering if the customers are also changing. In addition, I really wanted to hand them to each guest personally one by one, laughing and chatting with them about their opinions, but unfortunately, it wasn’t possible due to the availability of personnel. We wanted to bring enough copies so that we could give them to every customer who was standing in line from the very beginning, but it’s really difficult to estimate the right number. It is always difficult to decide how much copies to bring… I thought that because stores like Tora no Ana have made advance reservations, our line won’t get too long, but we’ve still had so many people come. Ryukishi: We had a very large number of people come again, and while we were deciding whether to wait for noon or not, everything was sold out. I saw on the official website that it was also busy at your booth at the Comiket. Ryukishi: Whenever someone said, “I saw it”, I said, “Don’t watch it~” *laughs* It’s one of those memories that I’m too embarrassed to remember and wish I could forget.
Was there any talk about TV at the event? Ryukishi: Everyone was extremely tired before mastering, and even smiling in natural way was difficult *laughs* It’s not very often that doujin creators get to be featured in media in this way. I am ready to show up” *laughs* Sorry for being embarrassing. I thought the author should talk with his work and not in public, but I was also frustrated that people may think that I am doing something suspicious in shadows, so it was like angrily saying “I am not doing anything suspicious. Ryukishi: They asked me at the last minute so without having time to think I said “yes”, but it was a valuable experience. Ryukishi: They suddenly came to me with a request to do a show, and it was the last minute of production so I didn’t have the energy to say no *laughs* There was also a TV show on NHK right before. Ryukishi: Last time the interview began the same way *laughs* To start with an obligatory question, how was Comiket 69? Ryukishi07 (leader of 07th Expansion, scenario writer).
