Afterword

Good to see you again, everyone. The Executioner and Her Way of Life series has reached Volume 5. If you read all the way to the end, you probably couldn’t believe your eyes at the final scene, and I’m certain you’ve realized that the story is far from over.

No amount of thanks would be sufficient for all the trouble I’ve caused for nilitsu, who once again created an incredible cover, color insert, and interior illustrations. The same goes for Null, my endlessly hardworking editor, and everyone involved in making this book.

Most importantly of all, I have an exciting announcement for you readers who have followed this journey so faithfully.

The Executioner and Her Way of Life is being adapted into a TV anime!

Now that my work is being animated, I’m working alongside more people than I have in my entire creative career. Everyone’s hard at work to ensure that the anime is as great and entertaining as it can possibly be.

The realm of multimedia is one that a single creator could never venture into alone. Now that it’s spreading out before me, my heart is full of gratitude and excitement.

A manga adaptation by Ryo Mitsuya came out on February 9. Every panel is overflowing with life, from the adorable everyday expressions and actions of Menou and the others to the intensely cool battle scenes. It should already be in bookstores, so please take a look!

In Volume 5, Menou is finally standing on the cover and has reached the land of salt. The following book will settle the battle once and for all.

Please look forward to it.
