Nice to meet you! My name is Kaeruda Ameko. Thank you for reading Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With A Mythical Sorceress! A lot of the sexism found in this story is infuriatingly rampant here in the real world, but I hope you enjoyed the book nonetheless.
I started writing this story in reaction to news of a certain medical university’s rigged test scores, and somehow it ended up being my big authorial debut. While the majority of web novels focus on male power fantasies, Sexiled goes completely against the grain in that regard, so I’m nervous that I might get some backlash for it. Please don’t be mad at me, okay? Let’s fool around and have some fun, wink wink... (Kidding!)
As I was writing this story, I received an incredible outpouring of support from countless people. Although my mentor, Takayama Seiichi-sensei, was swamped with work during the anime adaptation of The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar, he still found time to advise me on numerous occasions. Not to mention all the encouraging messages from my readers—I’m so, so grateful. Also, a HUGE thank you to my editor, Y-san (yuri fan), who trawled the internet in search of the perfect catchphrase, which ended up being “Sticking It To Sexism!” I’m so glad I got to work with you!
Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone who picked up a copy of my book: thank you so, so much! I poured my heart and soul into both the web novel and the official print version, and I hope you’ll continue to support me in the future. I can only pray that the story of Tanya and Laplace will give hope to all of you out there dreaming of adventure.
Until we meet again—hopefully in volume 2—farewell!
