Afterword
And here we are again, at the end of the ninth In Another World With My Smartphone volume. It’s me, as usual, Patora Fuyuhara.
Nine already, wow... Means we’ll be at ten next. This is all thanks to you guys, honestly. You just keep reading!
It’s taken over two years to get to this point, but I’m amazed... I didn’t even think we’d sell enough to get more than one volume, let alone ten. There were a lot of things going on at the time of the original publication offer, so I was even leaning toward saying no. In the end, I’m really glad I made the choice to go ahead.
To me, the highlight of the volume is the new Frame Gears that finally got to appear. When I was writing my webnovel, I didn’t really think all that much about pacing or artistic design spacing, either... so having multiple Frame Gears at once is a little harsh on the mecha designer. Please forgive me, Mr. Ogasawara!
We’re gonna see the special Frame Gears for Yumina and the other fiancees show up one after another, now. Hm? You wanna know when Touya’s shows up? Now, now... Ladies first. Hm...
I wrote an interlude chapter for this volume about the Babylon girls, which was a nice change of pace. I actually did this to make it up to Fam, since I rushed through the Library sequence initially, and she never got a proper illustration done of her. So naturally, the illustration for the interlude was one of Fam. Touya’s apologizing to her into the picture, but consider that as me apologizing to her for not getting her drawn until so late in the game. Sorry it took so long, Fam.
I’ll pay more attention so things like that don’t happen in the future. I promise!
In the next volume, we’ll finally find that Research Laboratory and unite Babylon to its full and final form. In a sense, you’ll also meet the most wicked character in the series... But hey, spoilers.
The story’s gonna have a lot of interesting and wild twists from here on out, too.
Also, the anime! A lot of information about the show was revealed as I was writing this volume.
