Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko:VolumeSF Afterword

Afterword[edit]
This work was essentially a remake of Volume 1 of Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. You could think of it as something akin to the New Theatrical Edition of E○○○○o○[1]. However, since I have never actually seen the television version, I’m not exactly sure what the differences are, so I’m not certain if that analogy is even accurate.
Regardless, since it was intended to be like a theatrical film, I tried to write with that kind of pacing in mind, though I have no way of knowing to what extent I succeeded. In fact, I suspect I had failed.
Furthermore, there will be no “Ha” nor “Q” after that[2].
Come to think of it, though it is entirely out of context, I once received an offer to work for a certain publishing company about six months after my début. It was a place that anyone would likely recognise by its name. At the time, I was a clueless, or should I say, pure-hearted young man from the countryside, so I was easily talked out of the job by a charismatic editor (he told me to wait until I had grown as much as Iwase of the Chunichi Dragons in 2007[3]; looking back calmly, he was asking for something quite unreasonable). I find myself remembering about stuff like that occasionally.
Whenever I go outside, people mistake me for a NEET, a comedian, someone working to contribute to Japanese culture, a calligrapher, a dance instructor, or even a judge for the Gunpla King Championship[4]; however, I intended to keep doing my best.

Hello there, this is Irukuma’s Diary. Lately, perhaps out of boredom, it seemed as though I was singing and dancing in my own room (my secret base). It was too disheartening to watch, so I planned to stage an Indian make-believe around five in the morning next time I drift off to sleep.

I live in the Kansai region. This year, an anime will be based on my work! I will continue to do my best!
