There is a section introducing the authors:

"Takako Yanagi is a high school art teacher. Are there any girls like Ranko-san and Mai-chan (see the novel up to the previous page.) who are just like normal girls? I live in Shizuoka.

Kuni Onizawa is a 22-year-old designer working in Shinjuku. He often goes to live music venues, but says that he gets home late and the taxi fare is a big expense.

Kojin Mari: her pen name is a shining example of her extraordinary talent. As her name suggests, she is a small woman. The editorial department she works at has moved to a larger building, and she is a new and enthusiastic woman. The illustrations for this story were on the subdued side, but a new book is set to be released in winter (see commercial below. Haga-san is this person. Who will be the illustratior for the next book? (Everyone, please buy it.)

Yamaai Shikiko. I bought a word processor and have become more and more passionate about writing (typing) novels. I'm 24 years old and have just rebuilt my house, so I'm excited about the new interior of my room. "I'll be signing up for my personal magazine (Kinkonka will be coming out next spring)," I've heard.

TOKYO-JACK. I'm a Yank!! (19 years old) studies energetically, works part-time with confidence, and is passionate about doujinshi. Please buy me a copy of Strange Day (see commercial below).

Ai Tomitarin. Tomita Moririn (Bolin). This year is the year of the year, so I thought "It's time for this mouse to get married," but I'm still single. I live in an apartment with a fake Siamese cat."
