"Bokutachi no Remake" is finally able to release a spin-off. Compared to last year when I couldn't even see the next volume being written, I suppose I can feel a sense of relief for now. Of course, in this suddenly busy situation, various problems have arisen (my manuscript being late, my manuscript being late, etc.), so I need to do something about it soon.... These days, I think it's a time to reflect once again on how happy I am to be able to write manuscripts in peace like this.
Now then, about this completed spin-off,
although the characters have changed significantly, the structure seems to have
many links to the main story. As for what will happen, please look forward to
future developments... but my editor and I are planning to work hard and
prepare the devices around here, so I would be grateful if you could wait
patiently.
Acknowledgements. To Eretto-san, who linked
the characters and story with plenty of charm this time as well, despite the
different tone. I am indebted to you for this spin-off as well. I was very
happy when the character designs for Buchou and Charaji, which were not
originally planned to be illustrated, came in. But please, rest when you
can.... To my editor, T-san, I am truly sorry that the parts where I cause you
trouble increase with each volume. In this volume as well, thank you very much
for your help from the structure to the finest details. Writing a long-running
series is an unknown world, but I will make it a work that people will be glad
they read. I look forward to your continued support.
And to all the readers. Thank you as
always. Thanks to you, "Bokurime" has received an amount of support
that was unthinkable right after it started. Recently, I've been very grateful
that many people have mentioned this work on social media in response to the
question, "What light novels do you recommend?"
On top of that, I have another bold
request. With a little more increase in recognition from here, it feels like
"Bokurime" is poised to go to a new stage. There's nothing concrete
yet, but the condition for that will be an increase in popularity from this
point on. With the publication of the spin-off, I hope that as many people as
possible will get to know this work. Please, I humbly ask for your cooperation
once again in spreading the word about this work.
Next will be volume 7 of the main story.
What will happen in the battle with Kuroda? The returned Tsurayuki, Nanako, and
Shinoaki. I hope you will look forward to what's next for everyone. Well then,
until that time, please take care.
Sincerely, Kio Nachi
