Afterword
This is Asari Endou in the short story collection. The further I progress in the main story, the more characters there are, and I get just that many more options for magical girls to appear in the short stories. Right after this short story collection is published, it will be the tenth anniversary of Magical Girl Raising Project. Of course, that’ll give you more options. It’s something to be thankful for.
And then very soon, the continuation of the main series, Red will be coming out. It should be coming out. I don’t think I’ll be making you wait too long. This time for sure it’s not a lie. Following Black and White, it’s the end of the magical-girl class arc, as well as the conclusion of Snow White’s story. I hope you will read it, too.
And now for some notes.
About Sister Nana and Winterprison, who appeared with increased mass as a dream resident in the short story, and was unchanged in appearance, respectively—they originally appeared in a short story that was a purchase bonus for the original drama CD Magical Girl Raising Project in Dreamland that went on sale at Tora no Ana. “Ideal Winterprison” is the embodiment of Sister Nana’s ideal, and so she has a bit of a different character background and is more fantastical, while “Ideal Sister Nana” is the embodiment of Winterprison’s ideal, and is thus a little heavier and wider in the horizontal direction.
Since I realized after publishing this that these are rather niche characters, I’m supplementing that here. They are good magical girls, so those who have just discovered them, I hope you like them.
One more thing—in the short stories that are from the anime DVDs, the seasons follow the anime. That’s because there are some slight differences in what time of year it seems to be, between the main story and the anime. Well, the sense of seasons in this series was hazy to begin with, so I think it’s not too much of a problem. I’m sorry, please have mercy on me.
To everyone from the editorial department who has guided me, and to the economic buff S-mura, who has taught me many things about tax returns: Thank you very much.
Marui-no, thank you very much for your wonderful illustrations. Thanks to you, Hamuel’s exploits as a trainer have gained even more depth. And Kinunomiya actually got visuals! When that happened, it made me ooh, like “I see, so this is Kinunomiya.”
And to all my readers, thank you very much. The supportive messages in your fan letters really encourage me. And aside from that, your impressions, fan art, and wonderful gifts, and everything else—every single one has become my strength.
Well then, let us meet in Red.
