Afterword

Long time no see everybody, it’s the author, Takehaya.

This time I have safely delivered volume 5. The story this time around is about the appearance of Yurika’s long-awaited enemy. The time to shine for the unfortunate girl who was forced into the position of a cosplayer has finally come... or has it? It would be nice if it did. Please watch over her kindly, everyone.

Oh, that’s right. I actually wrote this volume from my new home. I finished moving at the start of March. My new home is very quiet and I’ll be able to focus on writing here. However, there are still cardboard boxes I haven’t taken care of spread out here and there. It’s been almost two months, but I still haven’t cleaned up. In the end, I keep focusing on my job and don’t get around to it. But the editorial department keeps telling me to work with a cold stare. What can I do? (Ha!)

There’s some movement in that editorial department regarding Invaders of the Rokujouma!? It should all be in place by the time this volume goes on sale, so for those interested, please visit the Rokujouma page on Hobby Japan’s website. I said the same thing in the afterword of volume 4, but this time I’m serious. Regarding the contents of the page, as revenge for not being able to clean up, I’ve pressed them really hard and it seems that they’re planning on doing something else on top of what they’re doing with the page. I wonder what it is? I want to know.

By the time of writing this afterword at the start of May, all you can see on the page is a short anime of Koutarou eating ramen. Although it’s short, I’m moved seeing my own work being animated. It’s become a source of power alongside the handwritten letter I received earlier. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be able to look back on these and do my best.

Since I have some room left for this afterword, I’m going to talk a little more about my life.

I got to go to a concert the other day. The artist was Fukuyama Yoshiki-san. He did Basara’s singing voice in Macross 7. Now that I think about it, Macross 7 came out when I was in university. Looking back on it gets me a little down when I think about how much time has passed. Fifteen years or so. That university student is now in his thirties. But Fukuyama-san’s voice is just the same as it was back then. I got a feel for what it really means to be a star. Either way, I had a lot of fun. I was especially happy to hear “Try Again” live.

And I finally got my hands on a Blu-ray player for my own home. I also bought that movie Avatar that I’ve heard so much about. I watched it right away. I might be a little late to the party, but Blu-ray is on a completely different level from DVD. I was so surprised. Although it might be more beautiful, the director, Cameron, is the same as always. The shuttles and aircrafts moved just the same as in Alien 2. They’re very unique movements. It might have been on purpose since Alien 2’s star, Sigourney Weaver, also appeared in the film. If I’m not mistaken, Alien 2 was made over twenty years ago. Yet another old tale... (Ha!)

That should about do it. I’m almost out of room now, so I’d like to end this afterword here.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone at the editorial department who’s working so hard; my illustrator Poco-san who gets the work done properly every time; my friends who always give me advice; and everyone who bought this novel.
