NOVEL WEB Book 5: Chapter Aft
Afterword
Long time, no see. It’s Toru Toba.
Thank you for picking up this volume of The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?).
The theme is boss battles! The plot relies on Gruyere, the Holy Elite. Remember him? His first appearance was in the third volume. See him deal with Wein for yourself.
I have one piece of news I’d like to share.
This month will mark the beginning of the manga adaptation of this series on the Manga UP! app. I hope you’ll check out your favorite characters on this new medium! I bought an iPad explicitly for this purpose, which means I’m one step closer to integrating into society, but it might take me a while to get the hang of it…
It’s time for words of gratitude.
To my editor, Ohara. I’m sorry for missing my deadlines. I was only able to finish this volume with your support. Thank you. I’ll do my best to finish my manuscripts on time!
To my illustrator, Falmaro. Thank you for your beautiful illustrations. The new designs are so nice! Love a character who’s a little stubborn! It makes me want to write more scenes with her.
To my manga artist, Emuda. As the author and a reader, I’m looking forward to the serialization. I’m excited to keep working with you!
Lastly, I would like to thank my readers. You’re the reason this series is going strong. I plan to work even harder to meet your expectations—and be as good as the manga!
I’m hoping the next volume will be a little palate cleanser that focuses on daily life. Maybe some insight into different sides of Wein or his schoolboy days. But no promises!
At any rate, I’ll try to write something good. Let’s meet again in the next volume.
