Chapter 175

Afterword Hello. Kennoji here. And with that, this series has come to an end. What did you think? Personally, I believe it came to a satisfying conclusion, but when I look at the series as a whole, I’m tormented by my lack of skill. I did the best I could while writing it, but now I can see many places where I feel like I could have done better. That said, I think having a romcom go on for eight volumes is quite an accomplishment in this day and age. I would have liked to write more if I could have. Eight volumes of light novel equal about twenty volumes of manga. Romcom manga don’t tend to run that long, either. Even the popular ones don’t try to draw things out and conclude the story at just the right time. In any case, I’m glad these eight volumes have allowed so many people to get to know these childhood friends and me. I started this series on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2019. I think it was around March. Many series conclude within a year, so I’m very lucky to have been able to continue for four. It’s all thanks to you, my readers, and to Fly’s illustrations, as well as to everyone else who contributed. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this book, and to my readers. The manga adaptation will continue, so please keep supporting it. I’ve written other novels, such as Drug Store in Another World, which received an anime adaptation, and Awakened “Children” Fight to Fall Asleep Again, which was published recently by Dengeki Bunko. They’re entirely different genres from this story, but if you’re interested, please check them out. I hope we meet again in another novel or manga. See you then. KENNOJI
