I have an announcement
In her message, Waki wrote (roughly translated):
To everyone
This is a personal matter, but I would like to announce that I have been blessed with a new life.
I am currently in a stable period, my health is calming down, and I am doing my job in good spirits with the support of those around me.
Considering the impact on my future schedule, I have decided to announce my pregnancy at this time.
I will continue working while taking care of my health.
To everyone who supports me and all my colleagues who have taken care of me, I would appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for very much.

One of note is from Akari Kitō, her co-star on The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist In Another World. In her message Kito expressed her congratulations and desire to meet Waki’s first-born.
