Thank you very much for purchasing the 25th volume! Finally, the summit at Lake Toya was held! Inside I was hoping to sell a little more, but it didn’t turn out that way… even though the manager of a certain gift shop by the lake sent me this letter: “Thanks to you, the wooden sword is selling well!”. That is, fans of the work are buying the sword used by Gin-san! I was laughing my head off imagining a situation where the VIPs from the countries gathered for the summit, for example Bush, would show interest in the sword by saying, “What’s that? Beautiful blade!“, and once he learns about Gintama: “Cool! Cool Japan animation!“. And since he would repeat “cool” a lot of times, it would seem that in Japan he had only said that one word. Well, it’s true that the summit was against global warming, but in reality he would almost always have been referring to Gintama with the word “Cool“. In other words, even though Bush had come to stop global warming, he would have been warming up to the work in question! But it didn’t work out that way… except for the swords, which apparently sold quite well. It is said that Bush’s secret service bought them in great secrecy, taking advantage of work breaks. However, they didn’t take the ones marked “Lake Toya”! No! Apparently, they all went away happy and had ‘secret service’ engraved on them! Not only did they not advertise Gintama, but they also showed that they weren’t worthy of being agents, since they clearly revealed that they were part of the secret service!
The parenthesis on the Lake Toya summit ends here!
Anyway, it was not so good, I expected more from Bush… I should have put my trust in Sarkozy. I haven’t been able to show you the postcards sent by readers lately, but I will publish them in abundance from the next volume onwards… Goodbye!
New topic: “Surely Obama would have worked harder”.
