Y O. IT’S ME , Kinugasa. Your buddy!

You been doing good? Yeah, come to think of it, it’s been about four months since last time, huh? Sorry to get down to business right away, but I’ve got something important to tell you all, so I’d really appreciate it if you’d stick around and listen.

…Yes. There is something I need to apologize to you about. It’s regarding the character “Ishigami Kyou” ( 石上京 ) from Class 1-A, who has appeared several times now throughout the 2 nd Year arc of the story. The correct way of writing his surname is “Ishigami” ( 石上 ), not “Ishigami” ( 石神 ). The latter is incorrect. I sincerely apologize for the delay in reporting this. As for the exact cause of this issue… It’s probably just because I was exhausted! Can’t do nothin’ ’bout that!

Everyone makes mistakes, so I ask that you please find it in your hearts to forgive me.

And after reading that, all the readers out there laughed gently and forgave me, so this story has come to a close.

Thank you, and I sincerely hope that you continue to enjoy whatever comes your way from Ishigami-kun and from Kinugasa-kun.

Anyway, this volume covered the school trip, but I hope that it didn’t come off feeling like, “Wait, isn’t this, like, the same thing as the winter break story from Volume 7.5?” rather than a full entry into the story, as the eighth volume of this arc. That being said, this might have seemed like just a vacation story, but it may also play an important part in the future of the narrative.

Next, we’re finally nearing the end of the second semester with Volume 9, which will focus on the end of December. After that, I plan to continue on with another winter holiday story. I think I might’ve said a long, long time ago that the 2 nd Year arc would be shorter than the 1 st Year, but it actually might end up being about the same or even a little bit longer.

Everyone makes mistakes, so I ask that you please find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Also, please let me talk a little about the anime adaptation. What did you think of the second season, which made its debut in summer? I sincerely hope that as many people as possible are enjoying the animation now that it’s returned after five years. As for me personally, I’m already looking forward to season three, and that’s encouraging me to continue working hard on my writing yet again.

There isn’t much time left in the year, but I sincerely hope that you’ll all keep supporting the series. This might be coming to you a bit early, but I hope I see you all again in good health in my postscript next year.
