Volume 4.5, Afterword
It's been about 4 months. It's Kinugasa here. Recently, I secretly attended a party where people from the gaming industry gather. There I met the president of a certain corporation and they told me "Ever since I was a student, I've been playing Kinugasa-san's games!" as a greeting and when he did, I felt the passage of time and was shocked........Yeah, it's better not to dwell too deeply on that........
In any case, this time the story is one that depicts the events during the remaining summer vacation that took place after the exam that occurred in volume 4. Parts without dialogue, the introduction of new characters for instance. And the story has also become a preliminary step towards the story of volume 5.
Again, the female lineup surrounding Ayanokouji has become more pronounced. There are those who have not yet gotten their development, and in the future from amongst them (or it might be a character that will be introduced in the future) perhaps a day will come when one of them will head in a direction where their relationship with Ayanokouji goes beyond friendship. Furthermore, from the next volume onwards, at long last, developments involving Ayanokouji's past will slowly be told. The appearance of a new rival, a new special exam as well as situations hectically changing even more than before will occur.
One who aims for the top alongside comrades from their class. One who tries to win by relying on their power alone. And one who attempts to rise by manipulating others. Three individualistic characters will begin to demonstrate their idiosyncrasies. And-----! The long-awaited "Comicalize" of "Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e" has finally released its first volume. It's particularly exciting because it'll be releasing simultaneously with volume 4.5. For the purposes of reading, enjoying and collecting. At the very least you can buy 3 such volumes. I'm most grateful to the mangaka Ichino Yu-Yu-sama for brilliantly drawing a troublesome work where only men show up.
Right now, along with Tomose, I'm about begrudging him for bringing out and drawing more beautiful girls. And using that grudge as a spring, from now on too, please coolly continue to draw uncouth, old man-like male characters (scummy face). I humbly request such a "Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi o Kyoshitsu e full of men" along with volume 4.5 and the Comicalize.
And now finally......after this afterword, a small extra story will continue. I've already included swimsuit scenes in the volume itself and have provided a big service in the frontispiece so it's fine! Towards that resisting Kinugasa, the scalpel of editorial anger! What is the truth behind the mysterious actions Ayanokouji showed in the actual volume. And the terrifying plan of the 3 Idiots is clearly......!?
The opinions and impressions regarding this extra story are up to the editorial staff!
