Yuto Tsukuda: After my work on the culinary manga Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, I had the honor of working on the Sanji spin-off! Thank you to Shun Saeki for his amazing art, to Yuki Morisaki for his expertise on the science of cooking, to my editor for his supervision and of course, to Eiichiro Oda! Happy reading!
Shun Saeki: It's an immense honor to be able to contribute to a work as prestigious as One Piece. Even if the power of the original series and the quality of Yuto Tsukuda's storyboards outclassed me for every chapter, I forced myself to create the best drawings I could!
