Middleword
Good evening, this is Wataru Watari.
Now then, this part that would have been the afterword is now the middleword because another section has been added after this, and so this ramble will only be a brief interlude, but I hope you will stick with me for a bit.
Is the line Before you know it, he’s always working… about Hachiman, or me? I don’t even know anymore! And on that note, the season has finally turned to summer. It’s become quite hot, but how are you all doing? I’ve been dying—whoops, I mean, just working (eyes rolling backward).
Right, so then this manuscript is My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected 6.25, 6.5, and 6.75 reorganized and reedited, improved and revised into a director’s cut, and put together again into one book. As for the chronological order in the series, this story is positioned between the cultural festival in Volume 6 and the field trip in Volume 7.
The main actor in this volume is almost certainly unquestionably her, and in fact, I do think arbitrarily myself that there may be no character as human as she is. But have you enjoyed her activities? (Activities? Is that the word?)
As a light-novel author writes, they’re always confronting characters. With a character like her in particular, you tend to think, Yeah, yeah, people like that exist…, but you also think, Yeah, that sort of thing really does happen, I’m sorry… Writing her character was an interesting experience. But if you asked me if this was grounded and realistic, I’d say no, not quite. Maybe I’ll call it the difference between realism and reality—personally, she was a character who inspired those thoughts in me. Yes, realism and reality are different, just as different as pants and panties.
But anyway, I’m glad as a writer to have the opportunity to write what happened after those events, and I hope that one day I can write something like this again.
And so this has been My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, Volume 6.5.
Following this, under the title “bonus track,” I deliver a novelization of the My Youth Romantic Comedy drama CD When the Flame of That Christmas Candle Wavers… Those who have the special edition, please do enjoy it together with the drama CD!
Well then, let’s meet again in the afterword!
