Afterword
FINALLY, VOLUME 10. I’m beyond happy that we’ve made it this far. Thank you so much for your support.
Thanks to everyone involved in this publication, especially the readers! And thanks for all the good food!
Now, let’s look at the cover of this volume. I happened to be pretty demanding this time around. Just look at that thrilling scenery!
You see, I was actually a fan of fuzichoco before this series was published. I’ve always been fascinated by her illustrations. (Check them out on Pixiv, if you’re interested!) One desire was born by having her as my illustrator: the sixth level of the Ancient Underground City. The whole setting was devised from simple desires: “I want fuzichoco to draw this,” “I want to see this,” and the like. Sometimes dreams do come true!
Actually, some Japanese text has wiggled its way into the illustrations. Maybe I’m sneaking in some hidden lore? …Ahem, ahem.
Anyway, thank you, fuzichoco! You’re the best! Now, what kind of cityscape should I have you draw next time? Heh heh heh heh heh heh…
As usual, this tenth volume is being released in Japan at the same time as a manga volume: specifically, Volume 4! Thanks to dicca*suemitsu’s efforts, things are going beautifully!
As it is a manga, there are lots of things about the cities and more that can’t be conveyed through text (due in part to my lacking skill as an author…) that you’ll be able to see in the art. I’m always so excited to see that. And the way Mira moves too. Heh heh heh.
Make sure you check out the manga!
By the way, it turns out I’ll need to find a new home by April. They say they’re rebuilding the place I live now, due to some earthquake standards or something. This place is in a lovely location, with good rent, so it’s a real shame. I’ve been living here for seventeen years too. It’s sad to let it go.
As for finding a new home? Well, that’s a can of worms in itself.
I’ve been going to the same grocery store for seventeen years, so my new home needs to be close enough to keep going there. And I’ll have to consider rent costs, plus storage space for my ungodly amounts of manga…
I’ll certainly have moved by the time Volume 11 comes out… Surely… I hope.
Where will I have moved to? Find out next volume! Let’s meet again there!
