Afterword
Good day, hello, good evening. It’s Carlo Zen.
Could it be that you have purchased all nine volumes of The Saga of Tanya the Evil at once? If so, may your future be happy. And to everyone else who graces me with your continued patronage, you have my usual gratitude.
Time moves fast, but in the great flow of history, a few months might as well be a butterfly’s dream.
It’s nearly impossible to believe, but anyway, as it stands, I can say with confidence that I managed to basically put out Volume 9 in the fall, right?
Come to think of it, things turned out just as I, deeply committed as I am, announced they would last June. Apologies again for the drama of being late.
The main silver lining is that I’m able to report that an all-new feature-length anime film is in production. I’ve been incredibly busy with that…so you see, it makes for a nice excuse.
To think The Saga of Tanya the Evil will be entering movie theaters… I can hardly believe it, but it is my intention to work hard so as not to bring shame upon the genre of works that feature magic + girl + skies.
Of course, getting this far was only possible with the energy of a great many people. This book was no exception, as I received lots of help.
To illustrator Shinobu Shinotsuki, the designers at Tsubakiya Design, the proofreaders at Tokyo Publishing Service, my editors Fujita and Tamai, thank you.
And to you readers who are patient with me when I’m late, my apologies and gratitude. There are so many things I’d like to talk about, like the upcoming movie, but please forgive me if I omit those thoughts this time due to space constraints and various life happenings.
I’m sure I’ll make a fuss when there is more to report. I hope you’ll warmly follow that progress.
Hope to see you next time.
January 2018 Carlo Zen
