Afterword
HELLO, EVERYONE! This is your author, Necoco.
Thank you very much for purchasing Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling, Vol. 13!
The cover art for this volume features Illusia, Treant (as a World Treant), and Allo (as a Walpurgis)! There are actually a few kesaran pasarans on the back cover as well, and on the inside flap, you can catch a glimpse of the one-eyed giant Ymir peeking out too. Did you notice? Actually, at the time I’m writing this afterword, the cover art is the only thing that’s been confirmed, so Ymir might be hiding under the inside flap text… I hope you can see him though. His design is so cute! I hope his face isn’t hidden, but you never know… It’s pretty low, so I think it’s okay, but still…
We changed publishing companies starting with Volume 13, which has made things a little complicated. My apologies to all our readers… This time, the series has moved from Earth Star Novels to SQEX Novels. This wasn’t due to any kind of internal conflicts or disputes; it was simply that the editor I’ve been trusting with Dragon Hatchling moved to another company, and I wanted to continue delivering Dragon Hatchling at the same level of quality that we have so far. My editor also assured me that they would do their best to maintain the series’ original format. My illustrator for Dragon Hatchling will also continue to do work for the series. Rest assured, Illusia’s story will continue to be delivered through NAJI Yanagida-san’s beautiful work moving forward!
In addition, the manga adaptation will continue to be published by Comic Earth Star, so please rest assured about its future as well. The manga adaptation just finished the Little Rock Dragon arc! Its portrayal of the showdown with the slime was wonderfully intense too, so please check it out if you haven’t yet! It’s on to the desert arc next, where we’ll get to see Illusia’s old friends like Nina and Ballrabbit again. I can’t wait!
