Afterword: Author’s Message
Thank you very much for picking up this book.
My name is Saeki-san, the author. I hope you enjoyed the 7th volume of The Angel Next Door.
Finally… The maid outfit is upon us, maid Mahiru has finally made her debut! If you’re reading this, then I’ll assume you’ve already finished reading the main story, but the wait is finally over!
This was the cultural festival arc, so naturally, their class hosted a maid café, but as expected, Mahiru-san looked amazing in her maid outfit. She’s just so cute. Classical-style maids are just the best.
Mahiru-san was watching Amane-kun flap his wings while being envious on the inside, but she still can’t contain her jealousy. While both of them have a rather reserved side to them, they’re gradually becoming more and more assertive as time goes by. Mahiru-san in particular was more assertive when it came to this volume. No clue whose idea that was, though. (I’m playing dumb.)
So, we’ll have to wait and see how long Amane can endure the shaking of his rationale.
Mahiru-san just dropped a massive bombshell at the end of the last chapter, but please stay tuned to see what happens in the next volume.
I had the honor of Hanekoto-sensei drawing even more wonderful illustrations for this volume, too. When I first saw them, I was so excited but also surprised.
Even though the compositions of the illustrations are left up to her, we receive wonderful illustrations each and every time. Isn’t the front cover just so wonderful?
Volume 7 focuses on the cultural festival, so Mahiru-san was drawn in advance in preparation, but you know what? Why does she look so erotic? Is it just that my eyes are evil?
Needless to say, I love all the illustrations, but my personal number one favorite this time is the art of Mahiru acting all bashful and shy. How can she be so cute?
Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you for your help and support.
I would like to thank the editor in charge, the GA Bunko editorial staff, the sales staff, the proofreaders, Hanekoto-sensei, the printers, and everyone who worked so hard to publish this work, as well as everyone who picked up a copy of this book.
See you again in the next volume. Thank you for reading to the end!
