## Trivia

* While writing *Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective*, Akira Amano tries not to have any overlapping tricks to other mystery media. She is also careful not to repeat similar tricks within the series.
* Amano always thought it would be nice to write a mystery manga one day. Her editor, Mr. Momiyama, eventually encouraged her to try her hand at it, and "through a series of good fortunes, including meeting Mr. Asami, who collaborated with [her] in creating the tricks," Amano decided to start writing *Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective*.
