Afterword

The volume count has finally hit the double digits, and the heroine count has long passed the 20-member mark! Volume ten is a romcom tale of carnage; I hope you enjoyed it!

Wait—isn’t the afterword a little short this time?! (Ack!) In that case, allow me to jump straight to the acknowledgments. Firstly, to Nao Watanuki who, despite the usual random assortment of characters (an angel, a director, and a transforming heroine this time), designed everyone so cutely and lovingly—thank you very much. To my editor, Mr. Nanbu, thank you as always for everything. To the comic author Koji Hasegawa; the editing and sales departments at HJ Bunko; and the bookstores who stock their shelves with this series, thank you all. Finally, to my readers, thank you keeping up with the series.

Now, I believe the next time we’ll meet will be in the second volume of my Fujimi Fantasia Bunko series, Ore to Kanojo ga Geboku de Dorei Shuji Keiyaki. After that will be the next volume of I Saved Too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse. I’m doing my best to release each series in turn, so please continue to support me along the way.

Congratulations on ten volumes! This is the illustrator, Nao Watanuki.

Here’s a rough of Zeta’s design. Her trademark is her oversized suspender pants in a hero-ish color scheme, but things may get lost if she tries to use them as pockets... Kiri’s mascot, Starmon, got a surprising amount of screentime. He (?) was modelled after haniwas figures, so his eyes were simply black voids at first. After some discussion, however, he was given cute, round ones instead. I think this version’s much better.

The black and white two page spread this time is one of my personal favorites. I mixed some past space-related characters into the crowds of aliens, so I hope you have fun looking back and searching for those.

[Bubble] Thanks to everyone, we’ve managed to reach the tenth afterword! For a low-commitment person, this is quite an accomplishment for me. Thank you and good work to Namekojirushi and the editors. (Sorry I make so many amateur mistakes. Thanks for always saving me.) I’d also like to offer my deepest gratitude to the readers who have supported us. Let’s meet again in the next volume!
