Afterword (Note: contains no spoilers of the text) — Preface (contains no NETABARASHI of the text.) —[edit]

[Greetings]

Hello, everyone. This is Keiichi Sigsawa. I truly thank you for patronizing my novel, “Kino no Tabi II —the Beautiful World—”.


[Description]

This is the second volume of the light novel series, “Kino no Tabi”.

It is comprised of tales about the travels of the main character Kino and her partner Hermes, along with a number of additional stories. These take a short story format, each one independent from the others (with some exceptions).

Rather than a continuation of the previous volume, it is an incoherent, non-chronological collection of stories. The length of each story is not fixed, with some going beyond fifty pages, and some concluding in just seven. For details, please refer to the table of contents.

As in the previous volume, this book was lavishly embellished with Mr. Kouhaku Kuroboshi’s wonderful illustrations.
