Ghost Hunt:Volume2 Author's Note
Author's Note[edit]
This is Ono. Thank you everybody.
I'm really grateful for those of you who purchased this book, flipped through it, or borrowed it from a friend.
Umm—This is the sequel to "Are There Really Evil Spirits?!".
Last time this novel was published, I received a ton of fan mail. I can't be thankful enough. Every mail I got asked me, "Is there a sequel?" I'm really glad. Luckily for everyone, I wrote the sequel about the emotionless ghost hunter with a lousy personality. This time Lin-san didn't get into any accidents.
Getting so much fan mail (even though saying this repeatedly can get tiring for you readers, I really am happy about it) really did surprise me. I'm really grateful, seeing stamps from nearly every city in this country. I got stamps from everywhere, except for Kyoto. I live in Kyoto, but I feel kind of lonely there. Please keep supporting me, to those of you who live there.
Ah, a lot of people asked, "Who's the most popular character?" The most popular character is Naru. The second most popular, to my surprise, is John. After that... It's probably Mai.
Oh yeah, in the epilogue, I wrote, "Kun wo nemura senai" (You Won't Be Neglected), to which a lot of people asked if I was a Ronin Warriors (an anime in 1988) fan. And yes, I am. In addition to the fan mail, I've also received fanart and posters, which makes me really happy.
And in case you wanna know, I like Shurato(♥)~
The fan mail also asked about my hobbies and my favorite actor and singer. My favorites are Zubari and "NG5". Even though I like other ones too, Zubari is very special to me so I won't talk about that for now. My favorite singers in "NG5" are Nishimura, Satoru, and Hiroshi-san (...What? You haven't heard of them? Huh? You think they have bad voices as actors?)
...That's because... Things just end up like that.
This time's BGM, "You Won't Be Neglected" will continue.
And these songs as well: "Best Friends", "Through the Sky", "Sing", "Dizzy", "Close Your Eyes in the Mountains."
I really want to thank everybody. It's a shame I reply so slowly; I'm terribly sorry about that. I'm always worried whenever I do that. And I hope everyone doesn't wait too eagerly for my reply.
I want to say the name Ayami-chan again. Thanks for letting me borrow such a cute name. I hope you're not angry.
(Right, so this is what happened. I received lots of fan mail, and a lot of them said, "Please use my name." Thinking of a name to use is always difficult for me, so thank you. But when I'm in the middle of writing, I won't always use the name in a good way. For instance, the chances of me using your name on a ghost or corpse is actually really high. Is that alright with you?)
And Takada-san, I'm really sorry I asked you a stupid question. Thank you so much. Maybe next time when I have trouble with this, you can give me suggestions again. And also, Akiko Sakurai-chan, congratulations~! I hope you become a successful mangaka!
...And lastly, let me use this space for a moment. Taira Hamina-chan, how have you been? Is staying in Beijing rough? Where are you now? If you see this, can you contact me? I'll be really happy.
Sorry, that was rude of me.
There will be a sequel to this book too.
I'll work hard. I hope everyone keeps supporting me (♥).
