Mushi Uta:Volume 6th Afterword
Afterword[edit]
Hello, this is Iwai Kyouhei.
This is the sixth volume of the “Bug” series.
Like always, here is a little bit of trivia about the compiled chapters.
The Librarian Flipping Through Dreams.
A short story that was serialized in the magazine “The Sneaker”.
Since I’ve only ever seen libraries as public facilities, what system would they have if managed by a corporation? I have imagined this before. While keeping labor costs to a minimum, they’d probably digitalize the entire facility. Because I want it to become an era where we use digital techniques to protect analogue culture.
The Dream-Desiring Visitor.
Another serialized story. In the issue this was serialized on, the anime adaptation of Mushi Uta was announced.
There are characters who appear in both the Bug series and the main story of Mushi Uta and seem to change personality based on the timeframe. Akasegawa Nanana is one of those.
The Snail Slithering Toward Dreams.
Another serialized story.
I remember being sent lots of materials about Maimai. llo’s illustrations are also good. She’s the number one person you wouldn’t want as a friend despite being amusing.
The Sinner in Love with Dreams.
Written especially for the volume. Several years after starting the series, I could finally write this man’s episode. At time mysterious, at times scary, but catchy as well—he holds all these kinds of facets, and each and every one is outstanding. Up to and including his misfortune.
Starting now on, the Bug series is heading full speed toward the climax.
I will do my best so that as many readers as possible would be able to watch over this ending.
