Afterword
Thank you so much for buying Volume 12 of Konosuba.
I’ve started cooking recently: simple things like curry, stew, rice gruel—my repertoire is growing every day. I know what you’re thinking: But those are all just variations on boiling things! You’d be amazed how far one good pot will get you. I recommend carrying a decent pot with you at all times, just in case you’re ever suddenly transported to another world.
Anyhow, here we have a “Darkness volume.” It might seem like a pretty straightforward romantic comedy, but actually, I’d like to do an entire romantic-comedy series, so things probably won’t get any rom-commier than this around here.
Then again, I seem to remember saying something similar before, so please don’t hold your breath.
Aqua’s been sort of shuffled to the side recently, but I plan to bring her back in a big way soon, too.
And once Aqua takes center stage, that’s when the real story starts. Not to say she’s some kind of heroine or anything. I’m thinking I’ll have plenty of time after this volume comes out, so I want to get the last stretch of the story straight in my head.
The TV anime may be over for now, but we still have the video game and lots of other great Konosuba stuff, so I hope you’ll check it out!
Once again, for this volume I’d like to thank Kurone Mishima-sensei first of all, along with my editor, S-san, and everyone else who helped get this book safely out the door. This one really went right down to the absolute wire, meaning I have to apologize even more profusely than usual for all the trouble I’ve caused. Sorry, sorry…!
We’re all the way up to Volume 12 already, but I think I’ll be continuing to cause trouble for a while yet, so sorry in advance to all those people I’m going to bother.
Also, many thanks to everyone involved with this book. And especially, my deepest gratitude to all my readers for picking this up!
