The Silver Bride

by Yuri Kitayama

  Just between you and me, I admire both Riv, who is in charge of the illustrations, and tenkla, who will be taking on the manga, so much. I am most obliged to them.

  Furthermore, I appreciate all the love I have received from the readers as the number of volumes increases. My editors, and all other involved parties working where I can’t see have really been so reliable. I truly feel so blessed. I would have never been able to stand here of my own power alone. I’m still a newbie, and I’ll be working my hardest not to drag anyone else down, but I would greatly appreciate it if you continued to support me. Thank you very much.

  Now, as for details regarding the manga version, I believe there will be various announcements made on HJ Bunko’s official website and blog (it’s possible that by the time this volume is released, some information will have been announced already), so please do check those out if you have the time.

  Also, I occasionally tweet announcements and things on my Twitter account to my followers, so feel free to check there, too.

  Finally, I still have some space left, so allow me to take this chance to tell a story from a party held by HJ Bunko the other day. I got the reaction of “Eh, you’re Kitayama?!” from the people I met, but what kind of image do you all have of me? (laughs) I felt kind of bad for being your regular old average Joe. (laughs) Well, then — I hope we can meet again in volume 6. Please continue to give your support to Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles!
