Liar, Liar - Volume 6 - Chapter Aft

AFTERWORD

Hello, good afternoon, or good evening. This is Haruki Kuou.

Thank you very much for picking up Liar, Liar 6: The Lying Transfer Student Is Accused by Defenders of Justice!

So how did you like it…? Volume 5 went pretty heavy on the rom-com stuff (at least by my standards), but this time I put the focus on the Games from the very beginning, since it’s a big summer event and everything. The defenders of justice are closing in on Shinohara, the fake Seven Star! The lies and betrayals come flying thick and fast—you can’t let your guard down for a second! …And so on. I put a lot of passion into this one, for sure, so I really hope you enjoyed it.

I have a pretty long afterword to write this time (two whole pages), so I wasn’t sure what to write about…but it turns out that, combined with Cross Connect (my previous series), this is the tenth book I’ve published. What’s more, next month will be the third anniversary of my debut…! Time really does fly by scarily fast, doesn’t it? If you’ve followed my work from my previous series, hopefully you’ve been seeing me grow and mature as a writer—that’s what I’ve been trying to do anyway. Meanwhile, those of you starting with this series can marvel at how much of a seasoned veteran writer I am. (Talking myself up a bit, I know.)

Now for some thank-yous.

As always, konomi has lit up my story with only the best illustrations. The designs for the new characters are just incredible. I tend to like girls who default to a totally blank look on their faces, so I can’t get enough of the cover and artwork for this volume… The art in the manga adaptation is also, like, really great, too (my vocabulary’s failing me).

I also want to thank my editor and everyone else at MF Bunko J editorial for their help with this volume. I’m sure I’ll be needing just as much assistance for the next volume, too, so I’m relying on your help then as well.

Finally, the greatest thanks of all must go to all the people who read this book.

I’m gonna work as hard as I can on the next volume, too, so keep an eye out for it!
