Afterword

Thank you so much for purchasing Black Summoner 6: The Red Maidens. I’m again low on page space for the afterword for this volume, so I’ll be forgoing my introduction this time too.

Happy New Year! A year goes by so fast. And right out of the gate this year, here we are with the sixth volume of this series. The story corresponds to the first half of Arc 6: Beast King Festival from the web novel. It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to write so many slice-of-life scenes in this series, and I think I did a good job making it fun. That said, it’s not as if our battle junkie would sit still, so this volume has a great mix of both slice-of-life and battles, interspersed with the introduction of new characters here and there. Ruka finally got an art insert of her own, and the mysterious Bahl showed up. This girl who will be playing a part in the next volume seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to... Nah, that can’t be right. However, I have taken a liking to her.

Oh, there’s something we really have to talk about! The manga! This series has finally gotten a manga publication! I’ve been told that by the time this volume is on sale, the manga should have begun streaming on the Comic Gardo site. The battle scenes have been given special attention, so I hope you enjoy reading it!

With that, I hereby leave Black Summoner in everyone’s warm hands, praying that we will meet again next volume.
