Afterword

Afterword

 

DRUGSTORE IN ANOTHER WORLD is a novelization of a story of the same name, which I wrote when I decided to become an author. It was published as a large-format novel; this is the paperback version. I even landed Matsuuni-sensei as the illustrator, making this something of a new edition.

I must admit, this is my first time ever using different illustrators for the same title, so it’s a little mysterious to me.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that the second volume of Kou-2 ni Time Leap Shita Ore ga, Touji Suki datta Sensei ni Kokutta Kekka (The End Result of Traveling Back in Time to My Second Year of High School and Confessing to My Beloved Sensei) was released on April 15. It’s quite different from Drugstore in Another World, but I do hope you give it a try. It’s a romantic comedy about a man in his thirties who goes back in time to high school and dates the teacher he had a crush on.

If you’re into romantic comedies like Teasing Master Takagi-san, I think you’ll really like it! I recommend starting from Volume 1.

That’s enough personal advertising! Now it’s time to thank everyone who helped me out.

First, my editor. They were the only reason I could publish this story as a new edition. I even received the honor of being the first in their new novel lineup.

Then there’s Matsuuni-sensei. I know our schedule was really tight, but I can’t thank you enough for the adorable character designs you gave my heroines, and the lovely cover illustration!

I’d also like to express my gratitude to all the people involved in publishing this novel. You were a huge help!

Last but not least, thanks to everyone who bought this book. (Those of you in the bookstore, reading this afterword early, feel free to take it to the cash register!)

I’ll keep giving this “writing” thing everything I have, so I hope you stay with me! Thank you so much!
