♣ Afterword
HELLO, this is Kiri Komori.
Thank you for picking up volume 6 of Reincarnated as the Last of My Kind.
I would like to take this chance to thank everyone who read and supported this series. To the editor who reached out to me. To Yamigo-sensei, for their wonderful illustrations. To Roman Lempert, who handled the translation. To everyone involved in the production of the English publication, And to the family who’ve always supported me. Thank you all so much.
The Age 17 arc is a newly written part of the story that was never posted for the web novel version. I’d considered writing it, but I decided against it, since it’d be too long. Yet, when the publisher told me I could write more arcs for the story, I went for it.
In Renge’s side story, I featured his father and the Cerberus village. It took a lot of restraint not to feature his many different siblings. I believe that, in bidding farewell to his father, Renge is now ready to mature alongside Tinaris, bit by bit. If I get to write more of their story, I’d like to go into detail about Tina, Nakona, and Marcus’s respective wedding ceremonies.
Now, I’m sure many of you were looking forward to this: the series is now sold in both hardback and paperback format! I actually just got my copies not too long ago. Having a physical book really does make all the difference. There’s this sense of presence and weight you can’t deny. I was really excited: Whoa, it’s a real paperback book!!! I thought. Seeing the series go from digital-only to print was really exciting!
On an unrelated tangent, last year, my mother adopted two cats, expanding our family to one dog and two cats. One of the cats got sick, which had us worried for a while, but now they’ve recovered, weigh a respectable eleven pounds, and is very vocal in their meowing. I don’t know who said cats like quiet, but they’re wrong! This cat is louder than my dog and likes to dash madly across the hall every night!
Still…I’m glad they’re feeling better now!
Oh! Also, there are audiobooks for volumes 1-5 out now, narrated by Cassandra Morris and Graham Halstead. There are additional narrators covering different point of view chapters in each volume. Do check those out, too!
Again, thank you for picking up the sixth volume! Until next time!
