This year marks the 3rd year since we opened FANBOX!
We have been through a lot throughout the years, but we were able to keep updating
FANBOX contents all because of you.
Thank you, thank you so much to all of you for your continuous support to “Koharu and
Minatoâ€!

We have been extra busy these days, and we must apologize for delaying the weekly
FANBOX updates repeatedly. We’re sorry! We’ve been devoting a great amount of time for updating episodes on Yurihime.
Because of this, we had to sacrifice the time to work on FANBOX manga recently.
We should be able to bring good news to you all soon regarding “Koharu and Minato†on
Yurihime! We are very excited to make this announcement in the future.
Thank you very much for your kind patience. Please stay tuned for the coming updates!

Sorry again to those who were waiting for new episodes on FANBOX, but today we’d like to
post something special: rejected rough drafts for the front cover artwork of “Koharu and
Minato Vol.1â€!
We brought lots of idea sketches from behind the scenes. We hope you enjoy!

Draft 1
I wanted to depict an ordinary moment from our everyday life, which made me leave some
blank space around the girls. Rejected.

Draft 2
Our editor advised us to try expressing the characters’ personalities stronger, so this time I
tried to show the contrast between them. (Koharu works on the load of boxes promptly, while
Minato gets distracted by her accessories she found from the box.)
But you know, I don’t think we all see them that way so much nowadays... Right?

This came from the same idea as draft 2. Stop slacking off Minato!

Draft 4
After we submitted draft 1 to 3, our editor suggested showing the girls in standing picture
style.
We rejected this one because it simply didn’t look like a cover image, but we kept this
amorous vibe for the alternative version behind the book cover.

Draft 4.5 (almost became final draft)
Basically the same as draft 4, but with different facial expressions.
We kept the idea of them walking with Koharu’s arm around Minato’s waist, but we aimed for
a more fitting picture for a comic book cover.
Since this was the first book of the series, our editor encouraged us that there be more
details (such as eye colors) visible from the cover, so we made Koharu's eyes open. We
made Minato smile, too.

Draft 5Rejected this because it doesn’t quite show what their relationship is like.
Drawing Koharu for this image was a lot of fun.

Draft 6
Looks the most suitable for a comic book’s front cover so far.
Unfortunately this one became rejected too, since it doesn’t deliver the girls’ relationship very
well, just like draft 5.

And that’s everything! Finally, the complete artwork that became the cover is...

We made Koharu's eyes open. We made Minato smile, too.
