Volu 8 Afterword
Hello, this is Yamagata Ishio. I present the eighth installnt of the Tatakau Shisho series, “Tatakau Shisho to Shuushou no Kemono”. I hope you have enjoyed it.
Let’s start with so PR.
“Tatakau Shisho to Koisuru Bakudan” has turned into a manga.
The one in charge of drawing it is known as篠原九-san. This is read “Shinohara Kokonotsu”-san; it’s not “kyuu”[1] so pay heed.
He is a person who draws amazingly gorgeous pictures. He allows to enjoy the world of Tatakau Shisho as its creator in an altogether different way than with Maeshima Shigeki-san.
The manga is published in Shueisha’s web magazine “Ultra Jump Egg”.
You can find the link in the hopage of Ultra Jump or Dash Bunko’s site. Since it’s a web comic you can read it free of charge. Feel free to access it.
Please do enjoy it.
The other day I went to eat hot pot and et up with the aforentioned Shinohara Kokonotsu-san. My editor and the editor of Ultra Jump were also present. It was obviously paid for by the company.
Since I cannot eat good food unless being treated to it by other people, I don’t usually eat a lot. However, so of my unpleasant habits made their appearance there.
When about three fourths of the hot pot were gone, my editor sitting on the other side spoke.
“Excuse , but you’ve been eating all of the tofu and shiitake for a while now, Yamagata-san.”
My first unpleasant habit:
Since I am needlessly timid, I have not brought my chopsticks to the at. Furthermore I did it unconsciously. Both the editor and Shinohara-san have eaten so much at that I couldn’t help but admire their tolerance.
The second:
If I’m going to be timid I should have also held back in quantity. However, my gluttony for delicious food ant I couldn’t stop my chopsticks. Just how stingy am I about tofu and shiitake?
The third:
Since I was given delicious food, I will frankly write about how tasty it was. I’ve already wasted one page in this afterword on this silly rant. It’s only a stream of sentences with neither the reader, the writer nor anyone else gaining anything out of it. A waste of ink and paper. And I’m a self-proclaid novelist about to get paid for this to be published.
The fourth… how long can I keep on ranting? Five or six pages are probably too little.
Since it would be endless I shall stop here.
Shinohara-san and the editor from Ultra Jump, thank you very much. I look forward to working with you from now on.
And finally so thanks.
I thank Maeshima Shigeki-san who took care of the illustrations this ti as well. I am extrely grateful for your work even while you beco increasingly busy.
My editor, people of the editorial departnt, designers, I thank you this ti as well.
Even the “Tatakau Shisho” series nears its conclusion. Dear readers, let us et again in my next work.
Yamagata Ishio
