Author's Comment
"I was in charge of the scenario for Setsubun Festival. Even though it's clear-cut that Keito-san is on the side against the oni (being a son of a temple priest) it's incredibly amusing that he there are so many people with the kanji for "oni" in their names he can drive away with beans." [1]
Trivia
Setsubun was originally a term used to mark the days when the seasons changed from one to the next; now, the term is only used to describe the day before "Spring" in Japan. Setsubun usually falls on the 3rd or 4th of February.
About the chapter title "Deep Love": Hiyoku Renri (比翼連理,Hiyoku Renri?) is also a four-character idiom, used to describe a couple deeply in love. This title becomes more meaningful in context when you understand the idiom. Hiyoku describes a mythical creature, hiyoku no tori, where two birds (one male, one female) have one eye (or head) and one wing each, and constantly fly as "one". Renri refers to two trees (with different roots) growing close and merging.
