Book 4: Chapter Aft
Afterword
It has been a while. I’m Toru Toba. Thank you very much for picking up this fourth volume of The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?)
The theme was… You guessed it! Little sisters! I imagine people were waiting for the spotlight to shine on the protagonist’s sister, Falanya. She’s made her own appearances in the past volumes, but I encourage you to read this one to see her in the limelight.
Incidentally, the Heisei Era has ended, marking the start of the Reiwa Era.
I imagine just about every other author is writing the same thing in their afterword. All the avid readers must be sick of reading about this. But I want to use this opportunity to turn over a new leaf and reflect on my goals.
Well, I haven’t been able to come up with anything yet. I guess coming up with a goal will be my first goal… Maybe I’ll have something by the time I start working on the fifth volume.
I would like to take this time to express my gratitude.
To my editor, Ohara. Thank you for all your help. Your advice has helped me refine the plot to avoid telling a story that’s cliché.
To my illustrator, Falmaro. Thank you for the beautiful illustrations. I was delighted to see Falanya making all these expressions. She is the cutest. When the third color insert came in, everyone on the team screamed about how sparkly she was.
