Afterword
The unraveling of the witches’ paradise, and another tale…
This concludes the sixth volume of Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World . Thank you for picking up the longest volume of this series so far!
The theme for this volume is “under one roof.”
Elletear joins her two witch sisters, Alice and Sisbell, for a very animated story (?) of three siblings. Meanwhile, embers fly between the two superpowers as the curtain rises on an international stage.
I hope you expect great things from the next volume as the Saint Disciples and witches meet each other head-on.
Also…this volume allowed us a glimpse into the transcendental sorcerer’s way of life. He’s always had a peculiar attachment to the queen, since his first appearance in Volume 3. I hope you look forward to uncovering the fate that keeps them entwined, which mirrors Iska and Alice’s relationship.
And here’s an exciting announcement about the manga!
We started serializing the manga adaptation in Young Animal , which is illustrated by okama. There are some scenes that translate really well for the medium, and the first volume will be on sale starting December 26!
To celebrate the first volume of the manga, it’ll include an exclusive story written by yours truly. It would make me so happy if you were to enjoy it alongside the novels!
One more announcement: I would like to introduce a story that is unfolding simultaneously with this series.
Published by MF Bunko J, Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember My World?
The sixth volume is anticipated to be published next year on February 25.
We’re printing another round of the novel and the first volume of the manga, and it’s been doing well online. If you’d like something to read before the next volume of this series, might I suggest this book?
I have some happy news. We’ve started a Twitter account summarizing information about all my publications, including Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember My World?
Check us out at Kei Sazane Project (https://twitter.com/sazaneKproject).
The person managing this account will collect news from all publishing companies and media about ongoing manga and novel releases and all past and future series.
I would be so happy if you’d join me there! I hope it’ll fill you in on what I’m up to these days!
(I also make announcements on my own personal account: https://twitter.com/sazanek.)
Finally, I think we’re due for some thanks.
To Ao Nekonabe. Thank you for the gorgeous cover of Elletear. When you sent it to me, it was as if I were seeing for the first time.
To my former editor K, I was so surprised to hear about the transfer… I owe you for helping me with this series—from the title to character creation to many difficult aspects of the work. Thank you so much.
To my new editor Y. Your advice is so on the nose, especially your input on this volume and my short story. I’m looking forward to working with you more!
Last but not least, to all the people who picked up Volume 6, I would like to thank you.
As the battle between the Saint Disciples and astral mages in the palace becomes more fraught, the story between the swordsman and the witch princess continues to accelerate, since they just can’t untangle themselves from the fate of the planet.
I hope you look forward to a big splash in the next volume. All right, then.
Until we see each other again in Volume 6 of Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember My World? (MF Bunko J) on February 25 or Volume 7 of Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World , coming next spring.
I pray we meet again in both.
Late on a chilly autumn night,
Kei Sazane
