Thank you so, so much for reading this book. I’m Sora Suigetsu, the author. And while I’m just a newbie, it’s thanks to so many others that I was able to publish a second volume and even get a manga adaptation! I’m so, so thankful, much more than words can even express.
That’s why I’d like to use this space to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this book possible. First, I’d like to thank Futabasha Publishers for choosing to publish my series over countless others. And you’ve even given me a manga adaptation! Thank you so, so much.
Next, I’d like to thank my editor. You’d travel such a long way for our meetings and always considered my plans, and I’m incredibly thankful for that. Your advice helped this book immensely.
Then, there’s DeeCHA, my illustrator. Thank you so much for drawing all my characters. They match the story perfectly! They were exactly what I wanted—actually, even better than what I wanted—and I was so shocked. Thank you.
And finally, I’d like to thank my readers. If not for you—and that includes my readers on Shosetsuka ni Naro—I wouldn’t have even been able to write this afterword.
Thank you all for supporting a gloomy character like myself and putting so much effort into a story written by an average high schooler.
Anyway, I’m sure nobody’s interested, but I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Sora Suigetsu, a self-proclaimed angsty high schooler. I love daydreaming and challenging myself, and my biggest hobby is people watching (not that this means I’m not part of conversations myself).
Lately, I’ve been putting my all into studying for my entrance exams while eagerly awaiting updates to Scooped Up’s manga adaptation. It’s being published on the Gaugau Monster app and website. Have you all been reading it? Manga artists sure are amazing, huh? I’m always so thankful for Wasabi Mukuno-sensei, not that we’ve ever gotten to talk in person.
I really just can’t believe my stories have been published and my characters realized in manga...
Right now, I can truly say I’m having the best time of my (seventeen-year-long) life, and it was all thanks to everyone’s efforts and support. I know I’ve said it before, but I wanted to end with one more thank you to everyone who’s worked to get this series published, as well as to all my readers. Thank you so much for reading this book, and I hope to meet you again in the next one!
