Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjo, Aruiha Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen - Volume 4 - Chapter Aft

Afterword 

A girl who can see the entire history of the planet… 

The youngest princess, Sisbell, has joined the war. 

If you remembered her from the first volume or if you were waiting in anticipation for her reappearance, I hope you are pleased by this. She had been trying to find an opportunity to shine since the beginning of Volume 1. It would make me happy if you cheered her on. 

Thank you so very much for picking up this book, Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World , Volume 4! I wanted the theme to be centered around secret relationships. 

Bound to the fate of the planet, the destinies between Iska and Alice and between Iska and Sisbell are starting to come together. Neither of these relationships can get out to the public. How will they change? Here’s what might be in store in the next volume. 

Sisbell will become close (to Iska). 

Alice will be enraged (about Iska). 

Sibling War I will break out. 

Those are the key pieces of the plot, but stick around until Volume 5 to see how it plays out. 

I have a happy announcement to make. 

I started this series in spring of last year and received support from many people. This year, we’re making even greater strides. 

There will be adaptations of this story in an audio drama and a manga. And it will be serialized in Dragon Magazine ! 

First, the audio drama! 

Using an original short story written by me, professional voice actors will breathe life into Iska and Alice by way of vocal performance. 

Iska will be played by Yusuke Kobayashi and Alice will be played by Sora Amemiya. 

Both of them are skilled actors. I was allowed to observe their recording sessions…and they are perfect for their roles. The end product is full of life and fun. 

It is free for the public. Please listen to it when you have the chance. 

It is being displayed on Fantasia Bunko’s official site on the series page. 

Now, about the manga! 

It will be serialized in Young Animal magazine starting May 11th. 

The illustrator will be Okama. 

They have been very meticulous, drawing characters in their own style and trying to be informed of the details about Imperial buildings and the wastelands outside the borders. We added some flair to certain conversations that benefitted from a visual element. Even as the author, I am hyped about this manga. 

It will be serialized starting in May. I hope you’ll look forward to the serialization and published volumes. 

And lastly, a serialization in Dragon Magazine ! 

This will also begin in the May edition. I will be writing a short story for the series. I would like to write scenes that show the unexpected sides of the characters, but that might not work well in the longer series. 

I’ll put my best into writing those short stories! 

And so, that concludes three projects across media. 

I want to thank everyone who has rooted for me. 

I want to extend my gratitude for my illustrator Ao Nekonabe and my managing editor K. Thank you, as always, for your help. 

Sisbell is adorable on the cover, and I would like you to keep drawing more of her in the stories. 

Volume 5 will come out sometime in summer. 

I hope you are looking forward to finding out what happens in this little sibling rivalry… 

And since summer is some time away, I would like to introduce my other series as something to read in the meantime. 

Published by MF Bunko J, Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember My World? 

An epic about a boy who is forgotten by the rest of the world, fighting against angels, demons, mythical beasts, and other powerful species as he tries to restore “true” history in a world where it’s been rewritten. 

It’s a relatively new series. The third volume just came out, and the series has been doing well. It is being turned into a manga and a game. The manga serialization has already started in Kadokawa’s monthly magazine, Comic Alive . 

It’s very exciting, so I hope you’ll check out the book at your bookstores! 

I don’t have much space left. 

This is a story about the swordsman Iska and the witch princess Alice. 

What planetary fate surrounds the two who violently clash but are mysteriously drawn to each other? 

I plan on upping the ante, now that a new witch, Sisbell, is finally joining the battle and bringing trouble to the palace of Nebulis. 

Until next time. 

Encore Volume 4 coming out June 25 (MF Bunko J). 

Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World , Volume 5 will be coming out sometime in summer. 

I hope that we meet again in both. 

With hints of the end of spring, Kei Sazane
