Hello, Readers! It’s me, Asaura!
Thank you so much for buying Lycoris Recoil: Recovery Days and reading all the way to the end!
This book contains both stories serialized on Lycoris Recoil’s official Note page and an additional, never-before-seen chapter. Ideally, there would have been a QR code here for you to scan or some promotional insert, but things didn’t quite work out, so I couldn’t get that added. For those interested in checking out the Note page, please visit https://note.com/lyco_reco.
My original plan was to write different stories and publish them on Note, choose a few that fit certain themes, and make them into this book… In retrospect, I was being overly optimistic and didn’t plan carefully enough. Various things happened when I got started with Note later than I’d hoped, and I found myself in a situation where I had only three months until the book release date. Here we go again, I thought to myself, just like with the previous book. I had an inkling it’d go like that, a bad feeling, a vague sense of a looming challenge, and I didn’t have to wait long to be proven right.
Same as with Lycoris Recoil: Ordinary Days, this book, too, was a narrowly won battle. I have to thank you all for your support!
In any case, I’m still going to publish more stories on Note. It’d be nice if the plot I originally had in mind could be gradually realized…
And now, I should thank everyone who helped make this book.
First and foremost, the illustrator Imigimuru, who faced challenges even greater than mine…and is likely fighting brutal deadlines as we speak, stretched too thin due to being in such high demand. Your illustrations for this volume were amazing, as usual! You’re awesome!
I would also like to give a big thank-you to everyone involved in the Lycoris Recoil anime, the official Note page for the series, and the publishing house, which went beyond the call of duty (especially regarding the strict deadlines) to make this work!
Aside from the Lycoris Recoil novels, there are also comics and the anime, with the second season currently in production. I hope you can enjoy this series in all its different forms!
That’s it from me. I hope we’ll see each other again sometime! Bye for now!
Asaura
