Afterword
HELLO everyone, I’m Kei Misawa.
Thank you for reading Reset! The Imprisoned Princess Dreams of Another Chance! Volume 2.
This volume focuses on Annabel’s desperate efforts to avoid a repeat of the terrible fate that occurred on that awful day in the world of the old timeline. With the help of Ed and other characters, Annabel manages to stop history from repeating itself and she goes on to live a happy life. I felt a great sense of happiness as well, writing a wonderful ending for Annabel in Part Three.
Now, as anyone who’s read to the end will have already realized, the Ed of the first world knew about the second shot at life that Annabel would have.
If you read back over Annabel’s remembrances of the past, as depicted in Volume 1 and Volume 2, you’ll find a number of hints that indicate the Ed of the first world knew about the life Annabel would lead in the second world, based on the things he says. If you’re interested, I encourage you to reread and see if you can spot them!
In the next volume, the fight begins for Annabel and friends as they strive toward another chance at happiness. I hope you’ll come along for the ride and see what the future has in store for them.
Incidentally, this volume features puzzle boxes. I was inspired by the puzzle boxes of Hakone, the hot spring town known across Japan for this traditional wooden craft. They’re complex and challenging to open, but if you ever have the opportunity, I recommend that you try one out for yourselves!
Finally, I would like to thank everyone involved in the publication of this work, including the editors, the translator, the illustrator, and the designer.
Thank you very much!
