W HEW, IT JUST GOT COLDER all of the sudden once we got into November. Hey all, Kinugasa here. So, my son is in a huge Mario craze right now. He was super enthusiastic about dressing up as a red Koopa Troopa for Halloween, and even when he’s watching TV, he’s like, Mario’s so awesome, Mario’s cool, Mario this, Mario that. If he likes Mario that much, as a parent, I really want to do my best to take him to USJ someday, but I wonder if I can really make that happen…

As for my condition and how things have been going with me recently with my hernia, I feel like I’ve recovered about 40 percent compared to when I was at my worst. I can’t pump out work in succession for a prolonged period like I used to when I was healthy, but since I’m starting to be able to push myself a little more, I hope that I’ll have an even better report for you all next time.

From here, the story will continue into the year three arc. This installment was a spring vacation episode, so I think that, yeah, it was probably a happy and peaceful episode for everybody. Oops. That was nothing more than my personal impressions, so please do not come to me with complaints if the reality is different. As for the content, well, as I’m sure you’ve seen for yourself, the year two arc ends with this volume. There were some parts that were said to be redundant, and not worth including in the installment, and there were some scenes I had no choice but to, reluctantly, and with a heavy heart, leave out due to page count concerns. Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say something like “It’s not necessary for you to read it at all, but it will deepen your understanding of the work if you do,” but I feel like it’d be a shame not to let that cut content ever see the light of day, so I hope that I’ll get the opportunity to publish a short story about other stuff that happened during spring vacation, where I can be like “Hey, this happened here,” and stuff.

At any rate, I just wanted to say once again: Thank you everyone for sticking with me all the way to the end of the year two arc! The year three arc will be starting soon, so I hope you keep on reading! I think that, with the year three arc, the series will be returning to its roots, with the main focus being on the battle between classes of the same grade, like in the year one arc. Since the positions have changed significantly, even though the stage is the same, I sincerely hope that I will be able to present you with a fresh story once again, and I humbly hope that you will continue to stick with me until the conclusion.

Also, an official Classroom guidebook is being released. It would make me happy if you would pick up a copy, as it’ll be an excellent primer to prepare you for the year three arc, looking back on the series thus far.

Well, then, everyone, I hope to see you again around March. See you!
