On March 19th, 2004, tetsu’s autobiographical collection of interviews, 哲学 was published.

One year later, on March 19th 2005, the tetsugaku translation project began with the creation of a simple site on Tripod.

Today, March 19th 2006, exactly two years since the publication of the book, the translation is complete.

Since the first day, I have recieved many supportive comments from various readers. I’ve made many good friends as I became more involved in the fandom via this project. In particular, certain people have been invaluable help in pursuing this goal :

Ilán, who created this site and pays to host it, helped me out when I got sick of dealing with Tripod. Without him, this site would still be ad-ridden and much less functionnal. Thanks for everything.

Myriam, originally my only backup, beta-reader of most chapters, and banner maker. Thanks for putting up with my random and insistent demands for help.

The staff of Pieces, especially Taliana, who promoted my work to death and eventually lead to Pieces and this site affilating, no doubt giving me boosts in traffic. Thanks so much.

Too many people have been supportive readers for me to thank you all, but every kind word was appreciated. I’m almost sad to be finished with this.

Again, thanks for reading, and please don’t forget about this site. Discuss the book, post your comments, and keep loving tetsu.

– Sincerely, Natalie Arnold
