Volume 7, Afterword
It's been five months. Kinugasa Shougo here.
The anime aired this summer. I wonder if everyone enjoyed it?
As a viewer, I was impressed by the world of 'Youzitsu' that could only be conveyed by the anime.
There's something very emotional about seeing the story you wrote come to life on the screen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy the way, I recently had an 'atheroma' that's been on my back for about 10 years (roughly 7 centimeters in diameter) surgically removed.
That sensation of having it pulled out of your back though.....
As a result, I was unable to use the backrest for about a week and that was tough. But my back's now smooth again.
Regarding the circumstances behind the delay of volume 7's release, after factoring in the airing anime plus its contents and the fact that the direct confrontation with Ryuuen's Class C would be depicted, I thought it'd be best to release it after all of it has ended?
It was released this month after a judgement like that had been made.
Over these past few months, more and more people have become aware of 'Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoshitsu e' and I am very grateful for that.
Of course, I am even more grateful to those of you who have been my readers since before the anime.
And with everyone supporting me, I will continue to publish in the future as well.
Thank you very much.
Here in volume 7, first of all the fight with Ryuuen has been settled but that doesn't mean Class C's role is now over.
A new, rising presence and the actions of Ryuuen who has now stepped down, etc.
And since the third semester will depict a new stage, perhaps it won't just be the student council but also 2nd years and 3rd years getting involved and the battles against Class A and Class B also starting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI won't be able to show you all of it right away but in the near future, Ichinose's story and Sakayanagi's story as well as Hirata and Katsuragi's (there are too many people to list here) roles can be expected to increase.
Will they end up as enemies or allies? Please pay attention to that part.
Now then, to make up for lost time, I'm steadily making progress with the next volume. And with that, the next volume 7.5 will be a collection of short stories depicting the winter holidays.
A story focused on the events of Christmas will be depicted.
The main story of the winter holidays will revolve around the girl depicted on the next cover and the romantic circumstances occurring around her.
By the way, the expression 'a collection of short stories' isn't a mistake but volumes 4.5 and 7.5 and all future volumes like them will basically depict the long holidays.
Spring holidays. Summer holidays. Winter holidays. Stories about them. As such, they will all connect to the main story.
Please be aware of that fact.
And once again, thank you for your continued support.
