DEDTCATION
This book is dedicated to Haruka Funase, an amazing woman
who gifted the Slangman team with her intelligence, insight,
sense of humor, and hard work. We miss you, Haruka, and wish
you the best of luck for the future.
We would also like to thank our translators who, in the spirit of
world-wide communication, volunteered to help us with this book.
Sylvia Pab6n Andraca, Hyejin Chun, No6mie Ducourau, Haruka
Funase, and Qian Jiang, you have our deepest thanks.
And, as always, we'd like to thank Slangman's Mom, without
whom Slangman would not have been possible.
