Afterword
Yeeaaaaaaahhhh! A second anime season yeeaaaaaaaaahhhh!
Natsume Akatsuki here, disturbing the peace on a nightly basis out of an excess of joy.
Thank you so much for picking up Volume 9 of this series. As you’ve just learned, Konosuba is getting a second anime season, if you can believe it.
This is absolutely all thanks to the readers who have encouraged me and to my wonderful staff.
Thank you, thank you all so much!
That’s not the only thing I have to be happy about, though. An Explosion on This Wonderful World is going to be getting the manga treatment in Comic Alive. Kasumi Morino-sensei will be handling the art duties. I hope you enjoy it alongside the main series manga already running in Dragon Age.
Maybe it has something to do with the anime being on TV, but the number of fan letters I’m getting seems to have grown recently, and the amount of time I spend each night offering thanks to the box where I keep those letters has grown along with it. I know—maybe you’re saying, If you’ve got time to worship, then you should be writing! but this is an important ritual that sometimes blesses me with new ideas for the plot, so I’m going to keep on doing it no matter what you say.
In this volume, Megumin was at her most Megumin-esque, but I think I want to tone down the lovey-dovey stuff for a while. Not because I’m trying to be a prude, mind you, but because I have to think about what I can handle as an author. I’ve continually tried to take on subjects I’m not necessarily familiar with, and I’ll continue to strive to bring you a few moments of laughter in the future.
Once again, my thanks go out to Kurone Mishima-sensei, my editor S-san, and everyone else who was involved in getting this book safely into print.
And above all, thank you, dear reader, for picking up this book!
