Overlord Volu 5 Afterword

(Picture cleaned by Hiiro)

This is the author, Maruyama Kugane. Overlord has reached its 5th volu in the blink of an eye. Please allow to thank everyone who has supported this series. Thank you very much.

Speaking of which, since Volus 5 and 6 are going to be linked, I was wondering, “do I need an afterword?” I discussed it with Editor-san and in the end Editor-san said that so readers would look forward to it, so I should probably write one... But does anyone really look forward to the afterword? Are afterwords really that interesting...? Hm, so does Editor-san an that I should force myself to write sothing interesting?

Sothing interesting... Well, in order to handle the myriad issues that have cropped up for volus 5 and 6, I spent all my days off between August to the end of November at ho in order to rush out the book... that’s all I have.

Also, since volu 6 includes a Drama CD like volu 4, ti is even tighter than normal. It’s a really breakneck pace...

But that’s a part-ti writer for you!

Hm. It’s... not interesting at all. I’m ruining everyone’s hopes and dreams, I know.

Then, let’s change the topic.

The WN version of Overlord is also updating, but volu 6 is going to be 90% new content.

Initially, I focused on adding new elents when rewriting the WN chapters for release. You will see this in the next volu.

The manuscript is already complete, so if nothing crops up, it ought to co out for sale in January 2014. I hope we can et again in that volu’s afterword.

Now then, the thanks.

So-bin-sama, who does illustrations for the books, Chord Design Studio, which does the book design, Ohaku-sama, who does proofreading, F-da-sama, the Editor, as well as everyone who helped to make Overlord — thank you, everyone. Also, thank you for all your help, Honey.

Finally, thank you to all you readers for buying this book! You have my sincerest gratitude!
