Thank you so much for purchasing Arifureta volume 5. It’s everyone’s favorite chuuni lover, Ryo Shirakome here. A lot happened in this volume. Hajime cleared two labyrinths, Tio made some big decisions, Kaori found her resolve again, and they parted ways with Myu. It’s nice that the cast keeps growing, but I’m beginning to worry that I’m not giving each of the characters enough time and development. I hope I was able to properly give voice to everyone’s feelings this volume... Oh, by the way, there’s actually a certain someone I modeled Remia after. Can you tell who? I imagine most of you might have figured it out from the way she speaks. As you may have guessed, she’s based off my favorite character from Aria.
If you’re still wondering who that is, I recommend googling “Araara ufufu” to find out. She’ll surely bring warmth and comfort to your life too. Kind of funny that I ended up using Arifureta’s afterword to plug a different series entirely, huh? Personally though, I’d just be glad if more people experienced the things I love... Well, I’ll get back to plugging Arifureta now. The first volume of the Arifureta manga, illustrated by RoGa-sensei, came out at the same time as this volume. It’s being published by an imprint of Overlap too, and I’ve gotta say it looks amazing. Like, seriously, it’s so good! You all should check it out! Now then, I’m running out of space, but I’d like to give everyone my thanks. First and foremost, I’d like to thank Takayaki-sensei for his wonderful illustrations. I’d also like to thank my editor for listening to me ramble every day. Also my proofreader, for catching my numerous and egregious typos, and the rest of the publishing staff who made this volume possible. Lastly, I’d like to thank the illustrator for the manga, RoGa-sensei. You’re amazing. Lastly, I’d like to thank all of my readers. The ones from Narou, too. It’s only because of you that all of this is possible. Let’s meet again in the next afterword.
