Afterword To the Afterword
After I finished writing the previous volume, ‘The Four Corridors Incident’, there was something that worried me. It was something I decided myself, but I had the strange restriction that I couldn’t use the three main characters that had led the story up until now, ‘Yoishi’, ‘Nagito’, and ‘Krishna’. On one hand, I thought that would be interesting, but on the other hand, I suddenly felt uneasy when I got to the stage of writing it, wondering if I could really write such a thing and if people would read it, even though it was a series.
If it were me from when I started to write the series, I somehow feel I might have given up. However, for some reason I still felt like I wanted to write it, and when I finished it, I felt as if I had climbed a mysterious, invisible staircase.
That wasn’t anything like me having grown, it might have been closer to the so-called sense of ‘Something made me write’. I had heard rumors of it before, but it was my first time experiencing it, and in that sense, this work called ‘A person who is nothing’ left a particularly strong impression on me among the series.
Now then, this volume received a comment from the author Otsuichi.
Before I started this job when I was still a reader, I bought a book by impulse at the bookstore with the exciting title ‘Zoo’ and got to know Otsuichi-san. What really amazed me about the story Otsuichi-san painted was the uniqueness of the setting and the beauty of the narrative structure that gave me goosebumps when I finished reading it. Since then, I have read all his works and have always been a big fan of them all without exception! The first time I received a comment from him on my obi was for another work, but it is very strange that at that time I thought I had already "reached the finish line", but it’s very strange that somehow this time I feel like I have "started".
I was very happy with your comments.
Thank you so much for your time.
