Afterword
Hello everyone, this is Yuri Kitayama. As always, thank you for picking up Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles Volume 25 - Our Hero.
And so, volume 25 has finally gone on sale. Looking back on things from the author’s point of view, there were a lot of new revelations, and I remember struggling to depict the battles with the overpowered golems. What did you all think of it?
It’d be the greatest honor as an author if you all thought, “It was great! I want more!” after you read it.
As those of you who read to the end will know, at the end of this volume, a certain woman leaves a ticking time bomb in the very last scene that will affect future volumes. Whether that bomb goes off or not is a secret, but feel free to come up with your own theories on what happens.
While I’m at it, I’d like to add a little bit about volume 26 without spoiling the plot. Like the preview says, the subtitle will be Where Fiction Lies. It’ll dramatically depict the daily life and relationship changes of Rio after the events of volume 25, and hopefully provide some answers to earlier foreshadowing... So please look forward to volume 26!
Furthermore, as announced on the official site, in 2024 the second season of the anime Seirei Gensouki will air! The official site and my own personal X account will continue to provide updates on that, so please look forward to it! As a fan of the anime Seirei Gensouki myself, I’m really excited, haha.
Finally, since there’s still space left on the page, a little update on my recent affairs: I’ve been coming up with story ideas unrelated to Seirei Gensouki recently. The main reason for this was because I’ve been stuck in the routine of a single series for so long, I was worried it could lead to a drop in output quality.
Thanks to that, I was able to have a mental break and improve my writing for Seirei Gensouki. That doesn’t mean I have the leisure to actually write a new series, but I’ve got a nice stockpile of interesting ideas now, so I hope I can share them with you all someday. And now I’ve run out of space, so I’ll leave things at that.
See you all in volume 26!
