Chronicle Legion:Volume 2 Afterword
Afterword[edit]
Hello everyone, it's been a while.
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms set on a fictional 20th-century stage plus armies of giants" has reached its second volume.
Thanks goes to all readers for their support as well as to everyone involved in editing, printing, and sales. I'd like to take this chance to offer my most sincere gratitude.
...Okay, let's get back to business.
For this series, I keep a list of future characters that are set to debut and some of them are based on figures from world history.
Debuting this time, we have a certain Mr. Richard, the English representative high up on the list.
He was supposedly the most popular of all English kings... though there's no way to tell for sure. Simply looking at things with this in mind, his personality and anecdotes are particularly vivid.
Furthermore, there's actually a background filled with historical romanticism behind the story of him "adoring King Arthur to the point of naming his own sword Excalibur"... Richard's family, the Plantagenets, were the patrons who backed the poets who promoted King Arthur's legend. I'd like to write more about this in the future. This piece of knowledge is unexpectedly important and really alters one's interpretation of the Arthurian legends.
Oh right, I included a glossary with this volume too.
This is dedicated to readers "who follow The F●ve Star ●tories, devouring all material down to every last timeline." Readers who can't be bothered can simply skip the glossary, it's fine.
I put in a few off-topic explanations such as Tennen Rishin Style or Crossbows, so please check it out if you're interested. I also touched upon the aforementioned topic about Excalibur.
Now then, there seems to be a rising tendency for the "male ratio" of debuting characters.
It's been troubling me recently. Should I continue with this and go against industry trends or should I work hard on increasing readability by upping the female ratio?
In truth, Volume 2 has inherited the spirit of "fanservice isn't only limited to female characters!" and the guys do strip once in a while.
I'm still thinking, maybe I should just write a scene of "Prince Edward and the protagonist in an open-air bath together" in Volume 3 and have our artist, BUNBUN-sama, make an illustration out of it.
Dear readers, if it's not too much to ask, please confirm whether this happens in Volume 3 or not.
See you next time.
