Campione! - Volume 7 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

Greetings everyone, it's been a while. I am Takedzuki Jou. 

The second half of the Volume 6 story, Volume 7 has finally published without incident. 

In this series, every time there are always ideas that I must abandon with great reluctance. 

Simply stated, sometimes it's because of constraints in the number of pages in order to make the story a better read. Within these lost ideas, there are quite a lot of interesting thoughts. 

Take Volume 4 the Perseus story for example. His origins were related to the Babylonian deity Marduk and the worship of Mithras which flourished at one point in the Roman Empire. This religion has many connections with 
Christianity and it took great determination for me to cut out all that content. 

This time in the story of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, there were legends like the battle between a centipede god and a snake god on the plains of Senjougahara, but a good many of these ideas could not be fitted into the work. 

Particularly regrettable is a little story that didn't make the cut, about the second strongest character besides the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, building a nightclub in the human world because of his frustrations. 

I had written about a chapter's worth when I was told 'This is not needed.' 
In the end, it could not be used. 

Readers who feel it's a shame that this character did not have a chance to shine, if you want to see the Campione story of the Hotel Master, please make your thoughts known to the Super Dash Bunko editorial department. 
With that, perhaps 'The Returned Zhu Bajie Strikes Back!' might be published one day. 

So, these Volumes 6 and 7 were written as the theme for the 'Toei Manga Festival Cross Over.' 

In the romantic comedy aspect, it became 'Kusanagi Godou's Round.' 
Always kept spinning around by the various girls, he was finally able to take control. Perhaps he can be like Gian^ in his feature film incarnations, awakening heroism and bonds of friendship. Though this kind of situation is particularly rare, I would be most grateful if readers continue to anticipate this kind of scene. 

The next volume is slated to consist of slice-of-life short stories.
