Afterword
THANK you so much for picking up the third volume of The Invisible Wallflower Marries an Upstart Aristocrat After Getting Dumped for Her Sister! This series was only around 50,000 characters initially, but I’m grateful I’ve been allowed to write three volumes!
I’m so glad I could make both Iris and Lucas so happy!
As I mentioned a bit in the first volume, Lucas and Iris are two types of characters I love so much that it’s almost embarrassing. I’m thrilled I could culminate this story that started in 2021, filled with emotions, passion, and intensity, and made it something so sublime! My heart feels so full! The kind and positive words I received from my readers gave me so much energy as well. I truly cannot thank you all enough.
This was my debut series, yet my editor allowed me to have quite a bit of freedom with it; The Invisible Wallflower will always be a very memorable series for me. I’m very happy to claim this series as my debut story! I’ll keep doing my best so that I won’t let the hardworking Lucas and Iris down…
Now, for some acknowledgments. I give my deepest gratitude to all the readers for their support. Thank you to Murasaki Shido for illustrating all three volumes for me. I’d also like to thank Momiji Tsubakidani, who is crafting an excellent manga version of this series as we speak. Thank you to my editors, publishers, and everyone else involved in making this book. Thank you to my family, friends, and grandmother, who always cheered me on. I cannot thank them enough.
On the website, Shōsetsuka ni Narō, there are a few other side stories for The Invisible Wallflower that didn’t make it in this book. I’ve also written a few bonus stories for the manga version as well. And I have other series that sort of touch on Eizerian merchants now and then. If you ever spot them, I’d be happy if they remind you that Lucas and Iris are well and alive!
Again, thank you all very much! I hope to meet you all again!
