Afterword
THIS STORY has not finished yet. It is an…infinity loop?
So there you have it: Adachi and Shimamura, Volume 11. Finally, this has become my longest-running series. To be quite frank, I never dreamed it would last as long as it has. Who knew a little one-shot from an old magazine could grow up this big and strong? Needs more protein!
The next volume will be the last—at least, that’s the plan at the moment. Yes, the touching finale! But it won’t contain the epilogue! WTF! As for the story, or the setting, I’m thinking it’ll probably be their high school’s Culture Festival? At this stage, anyway. Once I start writing, however, it might change into something else entirely.
That said, the next Adachi and Shimamura release might not be Volume 12, but more of a side-something…possibly. I don’t know. I may or may not have been instructed not to comment on future plans, so depending on what I write here, an agent from a shadowy organization may or may not suddenly appear directly behind me.
I can’t go into specifics, but the content will be, personally speaking, some of my best in recent years, and you’ll all be convinced that I’m a genius. If you’ve already read it, well, at least you’ll have it all bundled together in one convenient place! And if you haven’t read it, then I hope you will.
It’ll release sometime next year—at least, that’s the plan at the moment. I wonder what I’ll title it. Also, it’ll most likely get some new illustrations, which I’m really looking forward to. That’s about it.
While you’re at it, please consider checking out my other current series, Watashi no Hatsukoi Aite ga Kiss Shiteta (I Caught My First Love Kissing Someone Else).
That’s all from me this year. Hope to see you again next year. Have a good one!
