Afterword
AFTERWORD
Hello, it’s me,
Origuchi Yoshino.
A manga adaption is in the works! How fantastic!
People have often left reviews about this series saying, “I bought this by accident and thought it was manga,” and “this book would be better as a manga, anyway,” but it appears that, one way or another, plans are moving forward on a manga adaptation!
At the time of writing this afterword, I still don’t know what’s going to end up happening, but I am praying that everything goes smoothly and that it’s a huge success.
Now then, for my acknowledgments.
To my editor Hibiu-san. As always, I appreciate all of your support. I feel guilty for having you work on so many things at once, now including the plans for the manga adaption. I hope you’ll be able to ride this momentum and find your way to the end of the manga adaption process.
To the illustrator who has continued to work through volumes one, two, and now three—Z-ton-san! Memé is just so, so, cute I just don’t know what to do with myself. Speaking of Z-ton-sensei’s impressive one-eyed illustrations, their power was even enough to awaken my editor to the cuteness of one-eyed girls. Thank you so very much! And of course I’m at an absolute loss for words for the color illustration of the three girls. Their girls’ night chat is just sooooo cute! (My vocabulary needs work.)
And to Shake-O-sensei for your comments! You’ve been drawing pictures of my work and posting them on Twitter ever since the first volume. Now the long-awaited debut of Memé Redon that you asked for has come. I suggest you all read
Nurse Hitomi’s Monster Infirmary—
it’s a masterpiece! Look, world—behold the beauty of one-eyed girls!
Thanks to all of the other writers who always hang out with me. Thanks to my family, who are always innocently providing me material for my stories. Thanks to all of the proofreaders who never fail to point out even the smallest of my mistakes. And more than anything, my biggest thanks to all of you for reading my book.
I even snuck some hints at what’s coming in the next volume in here, so it’ll be rough if volume four never comes out. Especially for me.
What monster girls will appear? Stuff like fairies and alraune! And that amorphous blob thing, too!

About the Author, Yoshino Origuchi
It’s been exactly a year since the first volume was released.
I can’t hide my surprise that a light novel targeting an extremely niche demographic has made it to its third volume during this publishing recession. Not only that, a North American release is scheduled to be published, and a manga adaption is currently being planned!
Surely this means the age of the monster girl is not far on the horizon. Best wishes to all who are not human.
About the Illustrator, Z-ton
Lately I’ve been building up muscle in the upper part of my pecs and my shoulders.
This is because monster girls are physically strong by nature, and I need to build up my strength if I want to keep up with them!
