Q: Considering there was only one question per person allowed, why would they waste such a precious chance on such a thing?

Noda: I have no clue. But I gave serious thought to the question regardless, because this is what the readers want to know the most, after all. So, I will announce the most recent penis size ranking:

Ushiyama > Tanigaki > Boutarou > Kiroranke > Kikuta > Ariko > Ienaga > Vasily > Nihei > Lightning Bandit > Tsukishima > Tsurumi

The rest are roughly the same. Sugimoto, Ogata, Usami, Hijikata, Koito are all average-sized. Shiraishi's is a little smaller than average.

Q: In the official fanbook, you named Tanigaki, Ushiyama, Kiroranke and Kikuta as the "four heavenly kings of having big dicks", but it seems that Boutarou has leapt to the top. Ariko Ipopte also looks like he'd be packing... Hmm, very interesting indeed...

Noda: Yes. Boutarou is tall and has long and slender limbs, so naturally he'd also have a long and slender penis. It wasn't simply about the size though, it was more about how good the dick is.

Q: I see. Were there any other question that piqued your interest?

Noda: Alright, using this chance I'll just answer some questions that couldn't make it into the fanbook due to the page limit.

Q: In volume 20, during Koito's kidnapping, why did Ogata, disguised as a Russian, put his hand on Koito's back and leaned in close when the latter was on the phone with his father? Was it because Ogata, who wasn't loved by his father, saw himself in Koito during that moment?

Noda: Exactly. But he also had a huge smile on his face under his mask during that scene.

Q: Share what are your top 3 favorite scenes with Genjirou.

Noda: Chapter 120, where the emotionally unstable Genjirou-chan kept confusing bokke with bokki (boner). 60 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 146, where Genjirou-chan's fully stretched dick is rapidly cooled on the ground after he exited the Russian steam bath, banya. 80 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 230, where Genjiro-chan is carrying Inkarmat and encouraging her by telling her that everything is going to be okay. 100 points on the cuteness scale.

Chapter 43, where Genjirou-chan is trying to express his gratitude to Huci for helping him after being attacked by Ogata, and ends up crying. 20.000 points on the cuteness scale.

Q: Please tell us of some mundane things about Superior Private Ogata that only the 7th division members know.

Noda: One time Usami pulled his leg; he called Ogata to the training grounds and stood him up. When he got there nobody met up with him, and Ogata ended up waiting alone for a long time.

During the Russo-Japanese war, he didn't notice that an enemy bullet left a small hole in his mess kit, so the rice he put there ended up being dry and hard.

Q: What was the intention behind making Tsurumi a Second Lieutenant instead of a Lieutenant Colonel or something?

Noda: Because he wouldn't have fought personally in the war if he were a Colonel. There's a difference between a superior officer who fights side to side with his underlings, covered in blood, and a superior officer who commands from the rear. It would have had an effect on the attitude of Tsurumi's subordinates towards him.

By the way, intelligence officers received about two ranks higher the amount of pay than regular Second Lieutenants, or so it seems. So he was esteemed as a Colonel anyway.

Q: Ushiyama's modus operandi seems to be just throwing stuff around. How does he feel about ghosts and such, things that wouldn't yield under physical attack?

Noda: He was bad with stuff about ghosts. Sugimoto's shitty ghost stories seemed to scare him.

Part 2

Q: Has Tsukishima kept the letters he got from Igogusa-chan during the Sino-Japanese war?

Noda: He threw all of them away. I decided against them ever meeting again, even on accident. Tsukishima is the best when he can concentrate on his duty. However, given that what he threw away was just too great, I wanted him to give his all to Tsurumi; I wanted him to sacrifice his everything in order to achieve his goals.

Tsurumi's monologue that Tsukishima eavesdropped on was everything that he ever wanted to hear, this is why there was a sparkle in his eyes. I wanted him to enter the last battle at Hakodate full of determination.

Q: At times, when Koito goes on his rants, the text is absolutely illegible, but you can hear what he's saying in the anime. Is it anime original, or do they follow the instructions that you have given them? Will that happen in the future too?

Noda: Of course, the anime staff always asks me what lines they should use there.

Q: In chapter 243, Kikuta commented that Ogata and Hanazawa seemed to have gotten along well. What would the two of them talk about in their time together?

Noda: Yuusaku would talk about exciting daily life occurrences, about things he liked, about delicious things he ate while out in the city, about the weather. All Ogata did was ask questions about their father.

Q: If the cast were students, what school clubs would they be part of?

Noda: Sugimoto would be forward in ice hockey. Shiraishi would be in gymnastics. Asirpa-san would be in middle-distance track and field. Ogata would be center in volleyball. Ushiyama would be in hammer throw, as you could have guessed. Kiroranke would be in basketball. Tsukishima would be defender in soccer, and Koito forward. Kadokura and Kirawus would be in table tennis.

Tanigaki and Boutarou would be on the water polo team, and Tanigaki would get stuck in the pool this one time after Boutarou ripped his pants. Inkarmat, on the concert band, while cheering on him would witness that and be like, "Oh my, look, there's an oboe there!".
