Afterword

Thanks again for buying this book. It’s me, Shoutarou Mizuki.

Now, we’ve reached Volume 8. This is part 2 of the new storyline, so if you haven’t read it yet, please give Volume 7 a try.

And this time I’ve got news: they’re making an anime!

If you bought this volume new you’ll already know from the banner on the cover. It starts in April on Chiba TV and other U-stations. As you know, U-stations let you get away with anything, so you can expect quite a lot of craziness.

It’s directed by Takashi Watanabe, and the main character designer and art director is Toshimitsu Kobayashi. Series composition and scriptwriting is done by Takao Yoshioka, with additional script writing done by Nao Hoshimasa! I’m so excited to have all these great names working on it. If I had to say what I’m looking forward to most, it’s to see how these grown-ups get to mess around and have a good time.

I had a great time talking to everyone, and even though they’re all veterans, I could feel a passion in their voices when they spoke to me. I’m sure they’ll go way beyond your expectations, so look forward to it! I know I’m looking forward to it more than anybody.

Of course, there’s also that drama CD from Beatnix. The voice actors there aren’t the same as the ones in the anime, but that’s common in theater, so it’s like it’s a play! At least that’s what I want you to tell yourself, and decide who you like better. It’s a pretty addicting little game to play.

Then there’s Souichi Itou’s comic, which is running in Champion Red. I’ve heard he’s planning on keeping it up, and I believe him. It’s been really good lately.

Lastly, thanks... oops, out of space. Thanks for everyone who’s brought the story this far, and see you in the next volume. There’s more fun to come!
