Chapter 161

Afterword Hello. Kennoji here. This series has reached its seventh volume, and it’s time for the school festival. They’re finally going to release the short film they’ve been working on for so long. It was way back in Volume 2 that they decided to make it, wasn’t it? It feels so long ago now. Back then, they went to a barbecue and discovered Fushimi was taking acting lessons, and Ryou was still looking for something to do. The second volume was published in August 2020, but I remember writing it during the fall of 2019. It was still just a web series then—I finished writing it way before the series was picked up for publication. It’s been three years. No wonder it feels like so much time has passed. Changing subjects, I’m publishing a new romcom through Sneaker Bunko. It’s called My School Romcom After I Found Out I Could Peek at Her Stats. The plot is just what it sounds like. Unlike this series, it’s a straightforward romcom where the protagonist is already aware of the girl he likes, with the twist that he can see her stats. But in truth, it’s not as straightforward as it sounds. Imagine a pitch in baseball that cuts to the side at the last moment. I won’t let you down, so if that catches your interest, please do give it a try. Fly does a fantastic job every time, but I feel like the cover and insert illustrations for this volume are even better than usual. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. I also want to thank my editors and everyone involved in the production and sale of this book for their great work, as always. If this story is like a ribbon we’ve been trying and failing to tie since Volume 2, the time has finally come to get it right. I hope you’ll see this story through to the end. KENNOJI
