• I Should Write a Book About This: An unusual version of this. At the end of the first volume, author Abi Umeda had a small comic showing how Children of the Whales came to be. One day at a bookshop, she bought a number of written papers for a cheap price. Reading one, she found it to be a journal in another language which she thought was rather dry, because it was expository in nature. Later it changed to a more autobiographical viewpoint which piqued her interest. The journal was one of sailing in another world which gave her the idea to change some names and ideas to make her manga.
