Infinite Stratos - Volume 10 - Chapter Aft

Afterword: Sorry to keep you waiting, Bulldog! 

Hi, it’s Yumizuru again. 
I just realized, it’s been a whole ten volumes. We’re up to double digits! And I couldn’t have done it without my readers. Thanks, everyone! 
Oh, also, I got a fan letter that said ‘When I was in the hospital, the guy in the next bed recommended your books, and I loved them!’ That felt great. It always feels really good to hear that someone recommended your work. And also to hear that someone took the recommendation. It was great. I don’t know if there’s anything that could make me feel happier. 
Anyway, about Volume 10, the anime came first, so I felt a lot of pressure to outdo it. That’s why so many things changed. From here on, I’m just gonna think of it as ‘the things that happened in the anime happened in the anime, the things that happened in the books happened in the books.’ 
Speaking of the anime, what did you think of the World Purge arc? It was great, wasn’t it? Pretty sexy, too. (Maybe a bit more than just ‘pretty.’) Anyway, yeah, I’m really glad about how it turned out! 

And about the games. I’m working on something called Love and Purge. That title, especially, did it for me. There’s a lot of interesting stuff happening in the plot, so check it out! It’ll be pretty sexy, too. (Maybe a bit more than just ‘pretty.’) And this time, Ichika will be voiced! Do your best, Koki! 
So, what did you think of Volume 10? It must have surprised everyone when Daryl and Forte made their return. Especially me. Good job, me! You remembered them! See, foreshadowing’s important. (I say, even though I definitely didn’t have this planned. Ah well.) 
Oh, and the ‘meter Mauser’ that was in this volume. When I looked into it more, I found out that it was from Hellsing and it didn’t actually exist in real life. I was really surprised when I read about it, it seemed so real. I really like Hellsing. Honestly, I love it. Thanks for making something so awesome, Kohta Hirano! I’ve been a huge fan of yours since Coyote! Keep up the good work! 
Anyway, in Volume 11 we’ve got the ‘Pierce the Azure Heavens/Excalibur’ arc! I’ve got plenty of new designs in my head to keep CHOCO working hard on! 
See you next time!
