I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (LN) - Volume 14 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

THANK YOU for your purchase.

And welcome to another afterword written by an author who messed up his page count. I’d usually be complaining, but things are a bit different this time! I’d usually waste pages by making dumb jokes, but I actually have something to talk about today!

That’s right! We got an anime!

I got to sit in during a recording and talk a little bit with the voice actors. Teacher is brought to life by the voice of Miki Shinichirou, who’s been voice-acting ever since I was a kid. I’m a big fan of his work and he was very candid, kind, and modest in the studio. When we exchanged greetings, my heart skipped a beat. And I’m a guy!

Fran is voiced by Kakuma Ai. She’s a rising star of a voice actress who has voiced other Let’s Be Novelists title adaptations. But me? I’m an old-time fan. She’s very cute and bubbly, very unlike Fran. When we exchanged greetings, I couldn’t help thinking, “Oh my God, it’s Kakumashi!”

There are too many voice actors and staff who worked on the Reincarnated as a Sword anime to list here, but I am thankful for each and every one of them. This is such a gigantic milestone for me, an otaku-turned-writer. Again, thank you.

Thank you to my editor, I-san. You’ve helped me more times than I can count.

Thank you to Llo-sama. The illustrations in this volume are so great that my heart’s a-hoppin’!

Thank you to Maruyama Tomowo-sensei. The characters in the manga are so cool that it almost feels like the original is holding them back!

Thank you to Hinako Inoue-sensei. Spin-off Fran is super cute. So soft and squishy. I love it!

And thank you to my friends and family, to everyone involved in the publishing process, and to my dear readers. This series only got made into an anime because of your support, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
