“So anyway, it’s afterword time.”

“What are we supposed to say here exactly?”

“We generally have a character discussion since that was popular in this kind of novel in the 80s and 90s. That aside, it was thanks to both parts of Crafting needing an additional printing that we could go ahead with this one. Thanks so much.”

“Who’s talking through her there?”

“This was meant to be a nostalgic sort of afterword, but based on the responses it got, it feels like this kind of afterward wasn’t actually all that common back then. It’s not a perfect survey, but it seems like it was only popular with with a few major titles from certain labels and most afterwords were more serious.”

“From what I have seen, female authors wrote essay-style afterwards and male authors wrote “big brother”-style afterwords at the time. But that’s just the impression I got.”

“What was Dengeki Bunko like?”

<Dengeki Bunko began in 1993, so that comes a little later, idiot.>

“I just realized I came off looking pretty bad in this book!”

“Oh? Are we back to doing the character discussion?”

“You’re named Athena and you got a red micro-bikini illustration. I say you got treated pretty well. Some characters were mentioned wearing swimsuits but never got an illustration of it.”

“That’s only because I had already appeared in a towel.”

“Shut up.”

“Anyway, I know there’s an Athena in Saint Seiya, but did she appear in the 90s?”

“”Right now, the Hades arc is approaching its climax. Gemini Kanon’s bro-ness is so cool.”

“Isn’t that the manga where Cancer and Pisces have no rights at school? I’m a Gemini, so it works out fine for me at least.”

“Wait, but I’m a Cancer! And crabs are delicious!”

[[Image:godless_kuwajiri.png|50px]]

“Senpai-san, I don’t think that’s what you want to be known for.”

[[Image:godless_boku.png|50px]]

“Man, I’m glad I’m an Aquarius. Anyway, someone find a way to defend Senpai!”

<Speaking of 90s Shounen Jump, that’s when Hana no Keiji, Slam Dunk, and Yu Yu Hakusho started, so it was going strong. I also remember Chinyuki being this year.>

“Hm, I think there’s a bunch of magazines piled up in the clubroom.”

“I read them while waiting for my turn with the games and I still can’t believe paper books are mass-produced in this age.”

“The work background music this time was Hirasawa Susumu’s Frozen Beach. The song has a real surging feel to it, but the lyrics are full of rhymes and really great word choices.”

“The question ‘who was the best mom?’ should link most directly to this story. Next time, we might be finally conquering the lava sea. Wait just a bit for that.”
