Book 3: Afterword

Afterword

That was Volume 3 of My Vampire Older Sister and Zombie Little Sister (etc.).

This is Kamachi Kazuma.

Even if it took a different form, Satori was still running around the city last time, but I restricted the story to a single building this time. I think exploring an abandoned school or hospital is a powerful spice that increases the allure of the undead, but what do all of you think?

(By the way, exploring a hospital instead of a school makes me think of Western horror more than Japanese horror, but why is that? I would like to dig deeper into that impression of the location itself if I have a chance.)

For the other theme, I brought the focus on the structure of Satoris family. Ive written a variety of protagonists, but I think this is the first family Ive written that is this complex and where everyone has a hidden side to them.

As you can see in terms like third person and phrases like what happens twice will happen thrice, the number three has a nuance of a lot or an unspecified number. The Archenemy sisters, the warm household, the Class Rep next door, and Disaster Environment Simulator Maxwell supporting him from behind Everyone was starting to have their fixed roles, so I was trying to tear it all down and make you question it all again before it became too fixed in place.

I wasnt trying to tear apart their bonds. It was an experiment to draw out the characters true allure through adversity, but Ill leave the judgment to all of you. If they seemed to shine even brighter in this book, nothing could make me happier.

I give my thanks to my illustrator Mahaya-san and my editors Miki-san, Onodera-san, and Anan-san. After already building up the characters, I fit them together differently and reconfirmed their allure. I think the driving force behind that came from the lovely illustration resources. Thank you very much.

And I also give my thanks to the readers. This volume moved to a different villain than the Bright Cross, but what did you think? I think it is thanks to all of your support that I had the chance to expand this setting in multiple directions instead of just having a one-dimensional confrontational structure. Thank you very much.

And I will end this here.

Satori is a smartphone-user, so I want to include something like a handwritten memo function.
