AFTERWORD
Hello, good afternoon, or good evening. This is Haruki Kuou.
Thank you very much for picking up this copy of Liar, Liar: Apparently, the Lying Transfer Student Dominates Games by Cheating.
How did you like it…? This is the start of my series. The basic genre’s “games + lies + school + rom-com”! It’s pretty much all the stuff I like rolled into one. Whether you’re picking this up after reading Cross Connect (my previous series) or reading my work for the first time, I hope that you enjoyed it.
To be honest, this work has its roots in something that I wrote back when I was still trying to sell manuscripts to publishers. It’s gone through a lot of modification since then. I left it unfinished the first time around, but I liked the setting a lot. Finalizing it is actually a pretty emotional moment for me. I really did it, guys!
Why did I go for another game-based series like my last one, despite all the incomplete ideas I have buzzing around? Honestly, I have no idea (I say, like I’m disconnected from the situation). Maybe if I used this opportunity in my career to create a sweet story of youthful love, that would improve my image a little (not that I’ve ever written anything like that).
Joking aside, Liar, Liar will contain a generous amount of school-oriented scenes. I hope you’ll enjoy that aspect of the story, too.
Now for some thanks.
First, thanks to konomi for providing such incredible illustration work after doing the same thing for my last series. The color cover and insert were just so awesomely mind-blowing, and seeing konomi’s work ahead of anyone else makes me grin to myself all day about how incredibly marvelous my life is.
My thanks go out to my editor, as well as the editorial department at MF Bunko J, for all the help they provided. I’m in my second year as a writer and my second series, and I’m plugging away harder than ever. I’ve got to get out of this rookie mindset…
The final and greatest thanks go to everyone who picked up this book. Thanks for supporting Liar, Liar!
