Questions for Kazue

[NeeNee]

As I mentioned here, it is possible to send fan letters to Kazue Kato.

If you could write her, what would you say? Are there things you are just dying to know? Questions you would like to ask the characters? Anything you want to tell her?

Some things I'd like to know:
- How long have you been planning to make Shima a traitor?
- Does Rin realise that Mephisto and Amaimon are his brothers?
- Does Yukio know that Satan tried to kidnap Rin?

Perhaps if we have a lot of questions/comments, we can collect some of the most common ones and send them. ^^

Why can't you use the keys when you're in a group?

[MetallicArcher]

I wanna know where Mephisto keeps his tail... and how it looks...

[tardar-sauce]

Is Gehenna really that dark and depressing? Are there other parts of it we haven't seen? No demon has ever said that Assiah is more beautiful than Gehenna, why?

[Midori no Neko]

^ i would find it pleasing if gehenna was more diverse than just some barren landscape. but it wouldn't be the part of gehenna that mephisto and rin "traveled" to in chapter 39.

[tardar-sauce]

My head-canon is that Gehenna is actually more visually pleasing than Assiah...but that for some reason it is hard for demons to inhabit those areas. Like, maybe it's too hot/bright outside so they all live in caves. That would be the part Rin saw.

From another thread: What does a demon have to do in order to possess an object in Assiah?

[NeeNee]

In a class of about 40 people only Godaiin and Rin could see them. And that was with the increased activity caused by the miasma from the artificial gate.

I think we really should mail Katou-sensei.

Good one. How many people can see demons?

I think it's pretty low.

[Elaedan]

Hey I haven't noticed this before but it would really be awesome to ask Katou-sensei some things! It isn't everyday to get questions by other than Japanese fans so I myself would be excited as her.

I always have had a lots of questions in mind but now can't find many... Something cool for Amaimon but can't figure out what. And I would also like to know (like Neenee said) does Rin realise that he has demon brothers around and if not why (they say it quite often it aloud even Rin close-by).
And my own question would be:

-Why Rin and Yukio's surname is "Okumura"
-And does the demon king's rank indicate like it seems that 1st is oldest brother etc.

[themoonlandian]

My questions:

To Rin: How did it feel to get your tail and what did you think of it at first?
And then to Rin, Yukio, Koneko,and RZ(aka Renzou): Do any of you guys shave yet? (It's been bothering me for the last few days, okay? >.>;;Bon obviously does but what about the rest...)

[chaotickairos]

I can't say when I'd be able to do so, but I wouldn't mind working with some of the other translators on the forum to try and write up a group letter! We could all sign it, and tell her how much we appreciate her.

[themoonlandian]

I would love it if that happened and you took the time to do that! AnE has affected me a lot but I'd make my bit short, I swear >.<

[NeeNee]

The English volumes have an American address, so I suppose we can also write her in English.

It might be easier to get to her if we do it in Japanese, but then we need the Japanese address. Does anyone have the volumes in the original version? The address for letters was in the back of one of them.

[themoonlandian]

Here it is:

[tardar-sauce]

Will she even answer it if there is more than one question per letter? I thought that was against the rules.

I'm not sure the things sent to the Viz address ever make it over to her. It could just be for formality.

Still want to write more questions.
New question: How come Rin doesn't have long nails unless he's going crazy?
Question 2: How come some demons have a separate consciousness (Mephisto, Belial, Amaimon), but others act like crazier versions of their human selves (Shiratori at first, Tamamo)?
