Volume 10 afterword
The TV Anime of 『Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu』 will commence broadcasting starting July 2018. The publication of this volume is truly right before that. Right now, I am writing this in the middle of the voice recording break. It looks like it will become a fantastic anime. I will be happy if everyone enjoys it together with me. Best regards!
Now then, about volume 10. This has been an episode with Sylvie and Horun as the focus. Doing things like going on an adventure together, and playing make-believe detective. Writing a story with mystery components in a fantasy world was pretty difficult, but it was interesting. I would be blessed if you could enjoy it.
This series has also had an increase in the number of characters, so having all of the members play an active role in a single volume has become difficult, and so I've been thinking about narrowing down the number of people that make an appearance. In other words, it is planned that Rem and Shera's turn will be pretty big in the next one.
I would like the next volume to be published a lot earlier than usual.
Volume 7 of the comicalization through Fukuda Naoto-sensei will be published around the same time as this book. It is in the middle of a popular serialization by means of the WEB manga Niconico Seiga 「Wednesday Sirius」.
『The 14 Year Old and the Illustrator』 (MF Bunko J) that Illustrator Mizoguchi Cage-sensei is also designing is in the middle of publication. It is a work comedy filled with the interactions and industry jokes of a 14 year old cosplayer and a pro illustrator.
The comicalization through Kamelie-sensei is in the middle of popular serialization at 「Cycomi」.
