Thank you very much for purchasing volume seven of this series. This is Miraijin A, speaking.
The first season of the anime has finished its broadcast! Thank you very much to everyone who watched it. This was the first time having one of my stories receive an anime adaptation, and it was incredibly moving to see it happen! The animation was wonderful, and I loved that the characters’ voices all sounded like I’ve always imagined them. I hope that everyone who watched it enjoyed it as much as I did. On that subject, the second season has begun airing! I hope you’ll all tune in for it as well!
In this seventh volume, the airship made its debut. I’ve been planning to introduce one to the series for a very long while, and this time, I finally managed to make it happen! There’s something about skybound battles that gets your blood pumping! There still haven’t been any midair ship-to-ship battles just yet, of course, but I have a feeling I’ll be writing one of those before long.
This volume also features the introduction of a number of characters from duchies other than Missian. I’m planning on depicting events that occur in the other duchies a little more often starting in volume eight, and I hope you’ll look forward to seeing how those characters will end up interacting with Ars and his friends, since that’s the direction I’m planning on taking the story in!
I imagine that the anime adaptation has led a lot of people to take an interest in the original novels it was based on, and speaking as their author, I couldn’t be happier. I hope that the second season will spread this series to an even wider audience. I’ll be putting my all into writing it, as always, and I appreciate all of your continued support!
That’s all for now. See you in volume eight!
