To my dear readers,<br />

Thank you all for being so kind as to await my humble works.<br />

I would like to report on the progress of my illness.<br />

In February I fell ill, and was diagnosed with cancer.<br />

As the cancer’s progress was unexpectedly fast, it was considered impossible to operate to remove it.<br />

Instead, I was put on a course of anticancer drugs.<br /><br />


Around May, I was also diagnosed with gallstones. During abdominal surgery to remove these, it was fortunately confirmed that the cancer had shrunk.<br />

The anticancer drug treatment was continued, and a few days ago during my admission to hospital for treatment, it was determined that it is now possible to operate.<br />

This operation is scheduled for the beginning of August.<br />

As for Zero no Tsukaima 21, which I am currently writing, due to the circumstances above its August release has become difficult to sustain.<br />

I hope expectant readers will forgive this unpardonable lapse.<br />

The structure of the remaining Zero no Tsukaima volumes was already planned from volume 20 – I shall endeavour to complete the remaining 2 volumes as soon as the operation has succeeded and I have recovered my health.<br />

I hope you will be kind enough to grant me your understanding,<br />

Noboru Yamaguchi
