Afterword
HELLO, I’m Kazuki Karasawa.
Thank you for picking up a copy of The Weakest Manga Villainess Wants Her Freedom! This is a novel I originally published on Shōsetsuka ni Narō and polished up for the English release by Cross Infinite World.
The best way to describe this novel’s greatest charm without spoilers is to point out how adorable the heroine Elle is! The whole time I was writing the story I kept thinking: She’s too cute, I hope she isn’t too cute for readers, and Is it really okay for a girl this ridiculously cute to exist?
What part of her is just too cute? I hesitate to give a specific answer, but if I must, then I say all of her is cute! That’s just how cute she is, and so as the story progresses, the number of people who fall head over heels for her cuteness increases.
Elle is too adorable for words, but the romance doesn’t really take off until the last half of the story. She’s even cuter in love, so I hope you will read the story until you reach this afterword and see for yourself why everyone finds her endearing.
On that note, my love for stories about cute girls who work hard isn’t limited to this novel alone, and I have published many other light novels in Japan with strong female main characters. One such title that hasn’t been licensed in English yet is Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho (Résumé of a reincarnated girl).
I hope you will enjoy my other series should they come out in English or even in their original Japanese form!
Thank you to everyone who helped make publishing this book possible, and to my friends and family who supported me. And a special thanks to you, dear reader, who have taken the time to read this book.
