Afterword
Hello again, and thank you for reading In Another World With My Smartphone Volume 26. I hope you had fun!
First off, I’d like to apologize. Last volume I teased the arrival of Touya’s final child, but that won’t be happening until the next volume. That’s inexcusable on my part, so I’m sorry.
As it turned out, if we included the arrival of the final child in volume 26, then the volume would either be incredibly long or we’d have to cut it halfway and leave it on a cliff-hanger. In either case, I wouldn’t have been able to include any original interlude content.
But then, I realized that moving the final child’s story to the next volume would mean I’d have to write about four times as much original content for this volume compared to my usual stuff. And so, in the end, I managed to hit a happy medium by including one new original interlude and one story I’d written in the past, but never had a chance to publish anywhere. That kind of makes this volume largely unrelated to the progression of the main story, but I hope you enjoyed it regardless.
Anyway, let’s move to brighter news! You might’ve heard already, but In Another World With My Smartphone has been picked up for a second anime season! I can’t wait! I’ve kind of known for a while, though... I had to stay quiet that whole time.
The first time I learned my series was getting an anime, I received a phone call about it and only had to wait about half a year for the announcement. This time, though? I had to wait a full year.
Whenever someone would ask me about the possibility of a second season, I had to steel myself and remain quiet...but now I can say it with my chest puffed out with pride. We’re getting a second season! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the first season, and thanks to everyone for supporting the books so far. I couldn’t have done this without you!
There are people who watched the show on all kinds of websites, all over the world, and I have to say that the Western attention on the series definitely gave it a push in the right direction.
The anime won’t be out for quite some time, but at least Japanese readers have the drama CDs to tide them over for the time being. We’re all working our hardest, so I hope you stick with us through the second season too.
Anyway, time for my usual thanks.
My illustrator, Eiji Usatsuka. I want to thank you as ever for your wonderful pictures, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with in the next volume. Tomofumi Ogasawara, the man behind all the mech designs in the series, thank you so much for taking time away from your busy schedule to illustrate Brunnhilde. You brought all the details to life. And of course, K and the Hobby Japan editorial department. You have my thanks, as does everyone involved with the publication of this volume.
Finally, thank you to everyone who read my webnovel, as well as everyone reading this book right now.
