Afterword
It’s finally here. Let This Grieving Soul Retire: Volume 7! Yaaay! Thank you for picking it up. Tsukikage here, it’s wonderful to see you all again.
It’s been three short years since volume 1. Looking back, I’ve been working on this series for a while. Misunderstanding-based comedy is a genre I’ve long been a fan of, but this is my first time having a go at it. It’s all thanks to the support I’ve kindly received that I’ve been able to make it this far.
This volume’s misunderstandings may have been a bit complicated compared to the previous. However, there’s an even greater emphasis on comedy, so I hope you enjoyed it all the same!
This time, we had a very...bad Krai. He’s gotten dragged into all sorts of different disasters, but, well, if you’ve finished the book, then I hope you’ll know what I mean. We had new characters as well as old characters blended in, all bustling with life thanks to Chyko’s illustrations.
The cover is, uh, way too good. I can’t keep myself from smiling. This is a series with a cast on the larger side, but nothing would make me happier if you found yourself a favorite. I wanted to put them up to even more shenanigans, but there just aren’t enough pages to go around (as the classic excuse goes).
Once again, we’ve had a volume build off the story of the previous volume and more! We’ve also produced various merchandise. Personally, my favorites are the acrylic stands that come with the special edition of volume 7. I probably shouldn’t put that here. I really like the design, so look it up if that catches your interest!

Now then, as usual, I’d like to wrap things up by giving my thanks.
Thank you very much, Chyko, for once again providing excellent illustrations. That the covers skillfully avoid matching the content of the books is simply too good. Here’s to more!
My supervisor Kawaguchi, and everyone at the GC Novels editing department and related companies, thank you so much as always. It’s all thanks to you that my humble work has come this far! I love the merchandise! I’ll write lots of short stories, so please make a mosquito trap that looks like Drink! I hope we can continue working together!
And most of all, I’d like to offer my deepest gratitude to you readers who have stayed with me all this time. Thank you very much! (On the acknowledgments page, there’s a QR code to a survey that offers a short story upon completion. Please give it a look!)
