Afterword
It’s been a long time since the last book. Ishio Yamagata speaking. How was Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers , Volume 2? I hope you enjoyed it.
Right now, the Rokka manga adaptation is being serialized in the newly launched bimonthly magazine, Super Dash & Go! The artist is Kei Toru-san. His artwork is so beautiful, and I always look forward to seeing his drafts. I hope you all enjoy it, too. Toru-san, I’m looking forward to continuing to work with you in the future, as well.
I suppose I’ll report on my current state of affairs. Not that I have anything in particular to write about, though.
I’ve noticed something recently. I have the habit of clenching my teeth whenever I write fight scenes, so by the time I’m nearing the latter half of the story, my jaw always starts to hurt. When I was writing the last volume of my previous series, Tatakau Shisho (“Fighting Librarians”), it got really bad. The dentist taught me some jaw exercises, though, so it’s gotten a little better. I think, moving forward, Adlet and the team will be doing quite a lot of fighting, so I’m worried that I’m going to be stuck with this. I’ve been considering buying a mouthguard or something, but would that even work?
I went to visit my grandparents’ graves. I was surprised to see that graveyards these days are so bright and pretty. There was also a considerable variety of unique gravestones. The place didn’t feel eerie at all—it was baffling. I was like, Is this a real graveyard? Having it be so fancy must make it difficult for the ghosts to come haunting and transforming. If you saw a ghost orb, it’d just look like a part of the light display. Maybe we should be a bit more considerate of those who have to use the graveyard.
