Editing Saiunkoku Monogatari:Volume 1 Afterword

==Afterword==

Hello everyone, I am Sai Yukino.

<Saiunkoku Monogatari> is my first work, it is a work that has won a prize, changed its title through (a great) change and became this.

I am writing this for the readers who are used to reading the afterword first. Although the story has a little of China style, but the content is not quite deep. Ah, it’s because I did not study enough of China’s attainments, so the characters have no font size! … Because, if there are too many names it will be messy… I’m saying for me… (←an idiot)

Oh yes, after this volume is published, I have decided to publish short stories of Saiunkoku in the magazine <The Beans>. The story will take place slightly before this volume, the main characters are Kouyuu and Shuei. In this short story, the elusive superior of Kouyuu shall appear… probably. If you are interested, you’re welcome to come and read. (Editors’ note: <The Beans> is only selling in Japan at the moment)

I’m very grateful to the editor in charge, and I express my utmost gratitude to Kari Yura-sensei who is in charge of the illustrations. This is a large shock for me who is a newbie, when I sleep I even place the sketches of the cover by my pillow. Furthermore I want to express my thanks to the readers who brought this book. I welcome everyone to send letters to tell me of what you think after reading this book.

… Ah--, one page is so short, lastly I am slightly apologetic to everyone, I want to talk of some personal matters, this volume is for the first friend in my life, until the end she was a good friend (I don’t want to say it like this until now…) Keiko Nakata-san.

Then, if there is  still (a one-percent) chance, I hope to meet everyone in the next volume.
