When the sample copy of volume one of Did I Seriously Just Get Reincarnated as My Gag Character?! showed up at our house, my mother was overjoyed. She declared right away that she was going to show the entire family.
I pleaded with her desperately. “It’s embarrassing!” I said. “Please have mercy!” But it was not to be.
“Until I see my grandchild’s face, you have no right to refuse,” she proclaimed.
Perhaps I should look into my marriage prospects sooner rather than later.
Hello! You may call me Kanade Otonashi. If it’s your first time, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance! If you’re reading this after finishing the first volume, thank you!
This volume was written around a central theme: “the inherent nobility of cute girls trying their hardest.” As the heroine of the story, Aisha had to try her hardest in all sorts of ways. I wrote a whole new episode featuring Princess Theresia, a character who wasn’t in the web novel at all, and revised and revised and revised until the book had been just about rewritten from scratch. It really does feel like an entirely new story. I hope that those of you who read the web novel will enjoy seeing how things go in this version of the story as well.
The next volume is going to be something of a celebration of Nacht and Aisha’s relationship. I hope you look forward to seeing what I have planned.
Last but not least, acknowledgments. I would like to thank my editor, O, as well as everyone else involved with this project. Thank you to azutaro for the beautiful illustrations, and thank you very much to everyone reading this book right now. I owe you my gratitude.
I hope to see you again when volume three is released!
