Shiinamachi-senpai's Safe Day:Volume 1 Afterword

Afterword

Nice to meet you, everyone, hello. Those of you who are thinking "I know you already!", it's been a while.

I am Kaidou Reiji.

Sorry, I got too carried away. Actually, I'm Saitou Kenji. My apologies.

I'm so happy that I'm about to fly to the heavens now that Shiinamachi-senpai's Safe Day is out and I even got Kaitou Reiji-sensei to write comments for me.

Speaking of which, back when I was writing the Hundred-and-One Stories, that was my first time writing light novels, so I was totally clueless. Back then, I referenced Unbreakable Machine Doll and finally managed to finish my work. Exactly because of that, I always call Kaitou-sensei my master secretly in my heart. Kaitou Reiji-sensei, thank you so much! If I continue to express my love for Sensei, this afterword would probably get all filled up, so… Kaitou-sensei, next time, let's take our time next time have a more in-depth chat!

So, I wonder how everyone felt about Shiinamachi-senpai's Safe Day? Just looking at the title or the illustrations, it probably feels like a work relying on sex appeal, but in fact, the content is still classic Saitou Kenji style that my dear readers know so well. If you haven't read the book yet before this afterword, then please find a chance to read the contents. I'm sure that way you'll understand what it's all about in fact. So, everyone, please do find a chance to read the story in this book!

However, why does the term "safe day" sound so exciting? Not only that, if my crush told me "today is my safe day, so…", I think my heart won't be able to take it. This story started from delusions like these. Compared to story content and plot advancement, I prioritize… putting a kind of heart-pounding feeling in everyone's chest, hopefully.

Also, if you find any characters, plot or various details in this story kind of familiar, I hope you'll accept them generously with a kind of "oh, this does happen occasionally" feeling.

Of course, I've received help from many people this time as well. Thank you, CARNELIAN-sensei for illustrating such perfect, adorable and beautiful drawings that just makes the heart flutter. Apart from Shiinamachi-senpai and Shiki, even Fujisato, Kuhou and Monjirou were drawn so exquisitely, I am truly filled with sincere gratitude. Other than that, I am truly thankful to you all, editors who pushed me quite a bit and my revered Kaitou Reiji-sensei. Also, there were many others who gave me all kinds of suggestions, checking my story for holes and flaws. Without everyone's help, it would have been very hard for me to create this work by my own efforts alone. Of course, most importantly, I have to thank all the readers. Truly, thank you very much. Please continue to show your support when Volume 2 comes out.
