Afterword
Afterword
It’s time for the afterword! But I don’t have a lot of space left, so I’m gonna rush through it!
First things first, the Kokoro Connect anime will start airing in July 2012! It’s been really eye-opening to see my work depicted from a fresh perspective, and I’m confident that my readers will enjoy it! There you have it—the author’s seal of approval!
Following the hit manga adaptation serialized in Famitsu Comic Clear
, a new manga based on the anime adaptation will be published in Nyantype
! For the latest news on all the Kokoro Connect
adaptations, you can check FBonline, the official Famitsu Bunko homepage, for periodic updates!
And lest you forget, BANDAI NAMCO Games is hard at work developing a visual novel adaptation as well! I’ll keep you posted about it in the next volume—which will mark the start of Kokoro Connect
’s final arc, by the way. And since it’s the grand finale, I’m thinking about splitting it into two parts. With any luck, it’ll be so dramatic, we’ll land a stage play adaptation next!
Now then, on to the acknowledgments. Shiromizakana-sama: thank you so, so much for everything that you do. Next, I’d like to thank everyone who helped me write this book, particularly my editor—I hope you’ll see this story through to its conclusion. And this time, I’d like to add a private message to the new friends I made this spring: without you, I never could have finished this book. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Lastly, before I go, I’d like to extend my full gratitude to all the readers who have helped Kokoro Connect
get this far. Thank you!
