AFTERWORD

Thank you so much for reading Accel World 23: Kuroyukihime’s Confession.

Once again, I have made you wait a tremendously long time. It was eleven months from Volume 21 to 22, and this time, I did pick up the pace just the teensiest bit, thinking to bring this to you in ten months. But the fact remains that it’s still a volume a year, so I’d like to further accelerate going forward.

About the content, I’m sorry here as well! In the afterword of the previous book, I wrote that there would be a resolution with the White Legion in the next volume, but I didn’t even defeat the Sun God Inti, much less White. This is because I did manage to get in the story of Kuroyukihime’s birth, which I’d felt I had to do at some point. But the Inti part also progressed somewhat, so in Volume 24, I will fulfill expectations and the fight begins… or it’s supposed to. But it seems like everyone in White won’t just sit back and watch…


A little more about Kuroyukihime. I do tend to tack things on after the fact, but the tale told in this volume was something I’d decided on when I was writing Volume 1. Kuroyukihime has a tendency not to take care of herself, and even though she was critically injured, hospitalized and near death, her parents never came to see her—the revelation in this book is the premise behind this. But when I was serializing the story in Volume 1 on the website, I had no intention of writing the rest once that volume was finished, so I never dreamed the time would come when these facts would be told through Kuroyukihime’s mouth. The fact that I made it this far is thanks to all of you who have been rooting for Accel World for nearly ten years now. It isn’t clear whether the conclusion to the series is near or not, but I will continue to work toward that goal going forward. I’d ask that you please keep cheering me on!

Now, then!

My recent doings for a little filler… is what I thought, but I have absolutely nothing to write about! I have no funny stories! I wanted to go on a long tour on my motorcycle as least once in the first half of this year, but before I knew it, it was the Incandescent stage outside, a harsh season for bikers. I managed to purchase a model that I’ve wanted for many years now at the end of last year, and I’d thought to go whizzing down the street when it got warmer, but then it was too warm… I’m certain that I’ll absolutely go when fall comes, but in the blink of an eye, it will be winter. If there is something you want to do, don’t say “someday”—if you don’t do it soon, you’ll lose the right moment forever!

And while I write about this and that, I’ve lost the right moment for apologizing. I am truly grateful to HIMA for creating such wonderful illustrations to complete every volume. Thank you as well to Miki and Adachi, whom I inconvenienced greatly schedule-wise once again! I’m going to work harder in all kinds of ways for Volume 24!
