How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom Book 14: Afterword

Book 14: Afterword

Afterword

Thank you for purchasing Volu 14 of Realist Hero. Dojyomaru here, and we have a proper afterword, not a midword, this ti.

The the of this volu is the expansion of Fuugas power. The great man chosen by the tis moves his allies, and his enemies too.

For those of you who have a hard ti imagining the charisma that draws people to Fuuga, please try listening to songs like Guren no Yumiya, Shinzou wo Sasageyou! and Gurenge. That propulsive feeling of... Move! Fight! Burn your life away! Fuugas charisma is like a concentrated version of that. Those drawn to him burn their lives away with a sense of intoxication. Thats why his road to glory is stalked by death. His allies will give their lives for him, and his enemies die satisfied to face a foe as strong as Fuuga.

This point is in contrast with Souma.

Soumas camp tends towards pragmatic compromise. The way they see it, if they die, theres no point in any of it. What glory is there in death? They are willing to put their opinions aside and use whatever they can. Thats why they can hire forr enemies like Julius. Its an environnt where soone like Julius can say, I guess Ill have to do it, and help out. Its also part of why so few nad characters die in Soumas story.

From a storytelling standpoint, the forr is probably more exciting. The popular figures in history arent the conservative but the revolutionary ones. However, if you look at it from the perspective of the many who lived in the sa era, I have a feeling that opinion might change.

Now then, I give my thanks to the artist Fuyuyuki, to Mr. Satoshi Ueda of the manga adaptation, to my editor; to the designers, to the proofreaders, and to all of the people involved in the ani adaptation, as well as all of you reading this now. This has been Dojyomaru.

I also have another new series going on sale in Japan at the sa ti as this volu, Yashiro-kun no Ohitori-sama Kouza. Its a school series, completely different from Realist Heros fantasy, with a touch of SciFi.

I started writing it with the thought, What kind of story can I tell in this sort of world?

However, as Im sure Realist Hero fans will know, I love oddly detailed world settings, and planting certain gimmicks in what Ive written. It may read like a common story in a school setting at first, but if you can read into the characters actions, you may find sothing feels off.

If that caught your attention, then please check it out as well as Realist Hero Volu 15.
