1931 The Grand Punk Railroad: Express
Page 18
Rrgh…… I’m pretty sure I remember writing something like this last time…
In any case, I’ll follow the example of the other Dengeki Bunko authors and experiment with different things in an attempt to establish my own unique afterword style, so please humor me.
* As usual, everything past this point is thank-yous.
Regarding this release: To Chief Editor Suzuki, for whom I’m constantly causing trouble, and to the good people of the sales, PR, and editing departments.
To the proofreaders, who always check for typos, dropped characters, and ungrammatical sentences.
To my family, friends, and acquaintances, particularly everyone in S City, who help me out in all sorts of ways.
To Okayu and Torishimo, who helped me at HP, and to “bludgeoning” supervising editor Unimaru.
To Katsumi Enami, who draws characters that seem to evolve every time I see new pictures, and whose fantastic illustrations took this book to the next level.
And to the people I mustn’t forget: the readers who picked up this book.
Thank you so much, this time and always!
From here on out, I think I’ll work on moving both my stories and my afterwords in all sorts of different directions. I hope you’ll stick with me on this leisurely journey as we travel from station to station…
