Created page with "==Afterword== ...This is reality. I’m aware I was drawing a scenery I’ve never seen before. Dragging my muddy consciousness, I collapsed on the bed. I got up a few ho..."

New page

==Afterword==

...This is reality.

I’m aware I was drawing a scenery I’ve never seen before.

Dragging my muddy consciousness, I collapsed on the bed. I got up a few hours later and gave a hit on the keyboard sitting in front of a square window. I don’t know how many times I have repeated that cycle.

I pictured the situation with a mind so fuzzy that it felt like I’m dreaming. My fingers somehow turned the pictures into words. But it was too slow to make any progress. Before long, the promised date passed...

The result was satisfactory. I thought that it would do. I felt that I could do it if I tried. At least, it was a beautiful sight for myself.

But the next day. He spoke in the small window of Skype.

“I didn’t really get this. Can you fix it?”

——And just like that, the six chapters of the script became to this state.

I have learned something. Writing things using only the influence of unclear thinking pattern would make it nonsensical. Like writing the contents of a dream. And then I only noticed it after being pointed out by another person.

For the readers from the previous volume BlazBlue Phase 0, long time no see. For the readers who just picked the book for the first time, nice to meet you. Hello, my name is Komao Mako and I’m the author.

The farce at the beginning was an act after I finished writing the first draft. I might exaggerate a bit when I said that the supervisor, Mori Producer, disagreed with me and told me to do a whole retake, even though I'm sure I have nailed it.

The so called situation of ‘the only person who understands it is the writer’. I never imagined for the day where I strongly guilty of it to arrive. Thank you for pointing it out, Mori-san and the editor.

Let’s set the long introduction aside.

You might have guessed after seeing it the first time, but this book, BlazBlue Phase Shift 1, is the novelization of the 2D competitive fighting game BlazBlue which was released by Arc System Works corporation. Also, the novelization now has two volumes.

By the way, the original BlazBlue’s recent release, Continuum Shift II, is super popular of being played in game centers! It can be played recently on PSP and 3DS, too.

Even if it’s only a portable console, the graphic’s really clear. The reward from reading the scenario is upgraded even more. Although it’s only hand-sized, you will still get excited enough. But getting carelessly immersed during travelling will make you keep passing your stops often, so be careful. It’s a bitter memory.

Also if you can enjoy it together with the first novel BlazBlue Phase 0, I’d be truly grateful.

Aah, this second book makes me exhilarated.

If the first book’s popular, then a second book will also... That kind of talk was frequently mentioned, but to think that it was realized. Even now, the happiness made my feet feel light.

Furthermore, did the front cover give you a vague hint about the leading man?

Oh, just what am I hiding? I also really liked that green-haired man.

From the beginning, I more or less was full of ‘Oh gosh I’m going to write about him’ kind of unpleasant excitement. But as for the green man... I wonder if he has a fairly characteristic way of speaking.

I wrote and wrote, but the circumstances were astonishing like ‘it’s different, not like this...’. To tell you the truth, each time the green man started to talk at the second half, it’d give me a headache. Just what’s with that person?

There were many tiresome things, but it was sooo fun to write various kinds of the green man.

In the middle of writing, I thought that no way it’s gonna end in my lifetime. But now, writing plenty of that man... left a clean aftertaste.

But it took many hours... I really felt guilty toward everyone in the staff. I’ll do an introspection. Really.

Have you seen the contents yet? What do you think?

Unlike BlazBlue’s original work, it was school-themed. Personally, it felt fresh and interesting, but my heart pounds when thinking about how it will come out for the original BlazBlue’s fans. I hope you’d find it fun.

...Well then. It’s just a routine but since I think this would be the place to say thanks again, I’d like to give a few words of gratitude.

To the editor in charge who gave me encouragement, sometimes fiercely. And to Arc System Works’ PR Mineshima-san who told all kinds of inside stories and always being cheerful when we met. I give my deepest gratitude to the two of you. Both of you always reminded me to have fun.

Also to Katou-san who had drawn the illustrations. I’m sorry for the terrible schedule even though you’re already busy. And thanks to you, too. I treasure the rough illustrations I stole and brought home.

And then to the producer, Mori-san. Thank you very much! I’m happy that I could write this novel! You were harsh when I couldn’t write good enough, but it’s really enjoyable!

The last one of course is to everyone who bought this book. In other words, you. Thank you very much. I hope you will look forward to me again after this. Please enjoy the world of BlazBlue to the fullest!

Congratulations on the second novel of BlazBlue!

This is Katou. I was in charge of the illustration for this time, too.

I’m kinda like doing monochrome illustrations, so this time I got to draw them again. Since I couldn’t draw many monochrome illustrations in the game, it was enjoyable for me.

Komao-sama and the editor also did a good job this time.

[[Image:BB_PS1_286.jpg|thumb]]

Hello everyone, this is Mori Shinichi from Arc System Works.

On this occasion, I’d like to thank you for picking up Phase Shift 1.

I confirm here that this Phase Shift is also a life story of BlazBlue.

Starting here is just my nonsense, but honestly, I had a hard time with the original draft for the work this time. First, the protagonist was someone other than Ragna. Then something that I hadn’t been told much, about Mage’s Guild being the setting. I just can’t find enough gratitude for the author involved in this book, Komao-sensei. In my personal opinion, the book came out amazing.

How about all of you? I want to hear your opinion by all means.

If possible, I hope we will be able to meet.

~Mori Shinichi

PS:

''For all the staff, I’m sorry for always, always saying absurd things.''
