QUESTION FROM MR. “IT’ S STILL UNCLEAR WHAT THE OTHER HALF OF BUFFERIN ASPIRIN IS MADE OF”, FROM CHIBA PROVINCE
Gin-san removes his nose hair with his fingertips, doesn’t he? It’s really hard to do, isn’t it? I can’t even remove them in one go with tweezers because they break off… Is there some secret technique?!
ANSWER:
Before removing your nose hairs, know one thing: they are there to protect your nostrils, that is, they are indispensable, so refrain from doing it without criteria. If you forcibly remove them, you risk damaging the pores and causing nosebleeds. The best thing would be to cut them off with scissors. Fingers are to be regarded as a lethal weapon to be used in an emergency. However, the first thing to do is to find out which hairs should be removed, and which should not.

QUESTION FROM MR. DONTENMARU OF NIIGATA PROVINCE
I have a question: on the cover of volume 59, Okita-san and Hijikata-san seem to have changed their eye colour from what it used to be. Didn’t you set a colour for your characters’ eyes?
ANSWER:
No, I didn’t set one for any of my characters. I consider that the colour changes depending on what their eyes are looking at or reflecting.
That said, the “secret art of removing nose hair” special in volume 61 ends here. I’ve gone on too long, but at the end of the day I wanted to say that volume 17 of Dragon Ball makes our hearts beat so fast that we forget about nose hairs when we read it. See you in the next volume! Bye!
New topic: “Of all of them, I prefer volumes 17-19.”
