Afterword

We’re now into the double digits on this roller coaster of carnage that’s only picking up speed. Welcome to volume 11 of this weird little (apocalyptic) romcom! To everyone who’s picking up from volume 10, long time no see. To everyone who bought all 11 volumes at once, it’s nice to meet you.

Those of you who are keeping up with me already know, but I moved again! I’m now living alone and can put all my figures, posters, manga, and light novels wherever I want. I no longer have anything to fear, not even the judgmental glances of my parents. I’ll never have to worry about anyone opening my packages again. There’s nothing to fear—nothing!

Also, the I Saved Too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse manga that was being serialized in Comic Dangan has now finished its run after two years. Although there were some shortcomings when adapting the story from text to picture form, I think it was a really wonderful work. Seeing the battle scenes come to life, seeing all the fan service shots that got added, and seeing R constantly floating around in the background (which is very difficult to depict in the books) all made me very happy as the original creator. To Mr. Koji Hasegawa, the man in charge of the manga, I can’t imagine how much of a hassle it must have been! Thank you so very much for all the wonderful work you put into it.

And now for the usual acknowledgments!

First, to Nao Watanuki. There were only two new heroines this time, so I thought there wouldn’t be as many characters to design... but then there were Satsuki’s parents, Itsuki and Sanae (when you put their names together, you get Satsuki), as well as the group of five children. It all kind of added up before I knew it, so I’m very grateful for all your work! Thank you very much.

Next is my editor, Mr. Nanbu. With the start of my new series overlapping with me moving houses, I’m sure I’ve caused even more panic for you than usual (/nervous sweating). A-At any rate, I’ll make sure my books get done no matter what, so please continue to look after me.

And now to the editing and sales departments at HJ Bunko, the bookstores who stock their shelves with this series, the readers who picked up this book, and everyone associated with Little Apocalypse, you all have my utmost gratitude! Please continue to work with me in the future.

My next release will be volume 3 of Ore to Kanojo ga Geboku de Dorei Shuji Keiyaki, while the next volume of Little Apocalypse is planned for the summer. I will work my hardest to make sure both series are enjoyable and reach everyone without delay.

Let’s meet again sometime!

This is the illustrator Nao Watanuki. Hello!

Your rough for volume 11 is Sister Yulia, who has a rather simple design. In contrast to her, Poppy turned out super frilly. On a completely unrelated side note, a leotard-style outfit was also suggested. I personally always think of female fairies as wearing leotards. Maybe I’m old...

Also, Satsuki’s parents make their debut this time, and show off their generosity as a family. I actually remembered rather belatedly that they’re amazing people too. Satsuki’s father is a master mage and everything. (I really like that title!) I hope I was able to portray him in a way that conveyed that.

[Bubble] To Mr. Namekojirushi and all the editors, thank you for this volume too! To Mr. Hasegawa who was in charge of the manga, congratulations on completing the last volume! And to all the readers who read all the way to this afterword, thank you very much!

See you in the next volume, no matter the snow or pollen!

Nao Watanuki
