Date A Live - Volume 20 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

Long time no see. This is Tachibana Kōshi.. 

“Date A Live Volume 20 Tohka World” has been successfully delivered to everyone. 

This time I intended to present all that I can write now. I hope you enjoyed it. 

Finally, it has reached 20 volumes. As the winner of the 20th Fantasia Feature Novel Award, I am deeply moved. Incidentally, this novel will be released on March 20th, so there’s another 20 there. Huh. It somehow feels the same as how ‘3’ has been used with Kurumi. 

So this is Tohka World. There any many things I want to talk about, but this time I wish to refrain from spoiling as much as possible. 

Since the Afterword has limited space, I would rather talk about it in a place with lengthier page width rather than half-talk it here. 

But, just one thing. 

It was very nice to be able to write this role for Tohka. 

This time this was sold together with “Date A Bullet Volume 5” written by Higashide Yuichiro- sensei! 

The Seventh Region that was difficult to reach was actually an institutional casino space! What is the best way for Kurumi and Hibiki to earn money? The story is also moving towards a shocking development……! It would be great if you can enjoy both together! 

This time, this book was able to be published thanks to the efforts of these people. 

Illustrator-san, as always thanks for such wonderful illustrations. Of course isn’t the combination of Tohka on the frontispiece, Kurumi with Rasiel, and Yoshino’s Siryon all too perfect? 

Editor-san, I apologize for dragging along the manuscript each time. Designer Tsunako-san, the cover design is also super cool. 

I would also like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone involved in editing, sales, distribution, etc, and above all, you for holding this book at this time. 

--Now, the story of “Date A Live”, which has accompanied everyone for many years, is slowly coming to an end. 

I dare say the next volume is where the main story of Date A Live reaches its conclusion. 

I hope you’ll follow the story of Shidou and everyone to the very end.
