English translation:

Title: Doll

I really love boyish female characters but there’s barely any chance to introduce such characters. This is because I think a short haircut would have been seen as outrageous in the Victorian period, especially for girls of Ciel’s or a similar rank.

If it hadn’t been for the scars on Doll’s face, I would have given her **very short hair. I like girls with that haircut. It looks so cute.

**Note: The haircut Yana is talking about is called “very short” in Japan and looks like this ↓

Title: Circus

I  remember that whenever I drew Doll in this costume, my arm would go numb. It was fun drawing it, though!! If I drew [the Circus arc] now, I could probably draw [her costume] better and make it in a more fluffy way.

Back when the Circus arc ended, I often received angry feedback like “How dare you kill Doll and the others, they were innocent!”… Actually, Doll and the others did bad things as well [just like Ciel and Sebastian do]. (lol) Now that I reread the arc, I guess I wasn’t able to get that fact across well. I regret that.

I remember that I wanted Ciel’s and Doll’s relationship to be like that in Utada-san’s music video of “Final Distance” that was filmed by director Kiriya: they [*Ciel and Doll] could actually have got along well but their respective worlds never ever cross.

If there’s an opportunity, I’d like to draw illustrations of the characters from the Circus arc. Back then I was so considerably busy with the anime and I regret that I could barely draw any coloured illustrations in the Circus arc. (lol)
