Afterword
IT’S nice to meet you, or perhaps we’ve already met before in the prior two volumes. My name is Chii Kurusu.
Thank you very much for purchasing volume 3 of I Reincarnated As Evil Alice So the Only Thing I’m Courting is Death!
The Evil Alice series finally has a third book.
With each volume, the story revolves around a different love interest. The first book was about Earl Knightley, the second covered Jack, and this volume is about the Tweedle brothers.
However, the twins are very much still children. Alice thought of them as family she needed to protect, not as potential lovers, though that relationship underwent a big transformation in this book.
This story was set at a boarding school even though such institutions aren’t well understood here in Japan. Most people only know a little bit about them from manga or anime, as did I. I did a lot of research to write this story, but there may be some parts that aren’t accurate to real life. I hope you’ll appreciate that this is a depiction of an otome game world as much as it is of Victorian England.
Now, I’d like to thank a few people.
Thank you to Yaguchi Minato for your lovely cover design and illustrations throughout the book. The different ways you depict the characters, both handsome and adorable, always strikes my heart. I had trouble writing this volume for various reasons, but my desire to see you draw Alice and the boys again kept me going.
Thank you to Emma Schumacker for translating this series into English in a way that accurately captures my intentions. Your wonderful translation is why this series has reached readers around the world.
I also want to thank all the designers and editors involved in the publication of this translated version.
If you’ve read this far, you have my sincerest gratitude. I hope you enjoy this world together with Alice.
May we meet again in the next volume.
