Sasaki and Peeps - Volume 6 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

How did you like the sixth volume of Sasaki and Peeps?

The UFO has been floating right above the characters’ heads for a while now, passing by without making contact. It’s an element I’ve always wanted to put into the story, ever since the start of its serialization, and I feel a big sense of accomplishment at having finally revealed it.

I also have an announcement to make. As I’m sure many of you already know, this work will be receiving an anime adaptation. This is a first for me, and I’m very happy about it. I’m dancing madly around the room, in fact.

The voice actors for Sasaki and Peeps will be Tomokazu Sugita and Aoi Yuuki, respectively. It’s been a pleasure watching the commercials and promotional videos and getting to hear such wonderful voices. I don’t have the words to properly express how thankful I am.

Starting with Sasaki and Peeps, all the charming characters designed by Kantoku will be up and moving around in their new animated world. I can’t wait to see them in action.

But the only reason I was granted such a valuable opportunity is the support of all those who have stuck with this series. Thank you for always rooting for Sasaki and Peeps. I’ll keep working my hardest so you can continue to enjoy the series in the future.

Details about the anime adaptation will be released on the official website and Twitter in the coming months, so please check them out.

Moving right into thank-yous, I’d like to send a deep, heartfelt thanks to Kantoku, who continues to provide stunningly gorgeous illustrations despite a very busy schedule.

The cover illustration for this volume is incredible and has a different atmosphere from the previous ones. It makes me want to go camping and lie down under a sky full of stars. The characters’ fun adventures through various worlds are wonderfully depicted in the frontispiece and all the interior illustrations as well. I am overflowing with gratitude that this work has been blessed with such an amazing illustrator.

I’d also like to express a heartfelt thanks to Chief Editor O, everyone in the MF Bunko J editorial department, and everyone working on the adaptation. I know you’re all very busy, and yet you always provide advice down to the most minute details. Your terrifying email response speed is something I remain ever grateful for.

I’d also like to thank the salespeople, the proofreaders, all the designers, bookstores in Japan and overseas, digital booksellers, the producer, those working on the adaptation, and everyone else who helped make this book a reality. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for providing even more generous support than before.

This has been Sasaki and Peeps, published by Kadokawa and MF Bunko J, originally posted on Kakuyomu. I look forward to your continued support of the series.
