Genius Prince’s National Revitalization from State Deficit ~ Right, Let Us Sell the Country

Book 8: Chapter Aft

Afterword

Hello, its been a while. Im Toru Toba.

Thank you for picking up The Genius Princes Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?), Volume 8. You might have guessed the theme was Rematch: Round 2! Volume 7 marked Weins rematch with the Empire. This time, the Gathering of the Chosensomething in the works since Volume 3is the stage, where he fights against the Holy Elites who rule the West. Wein was treated like an outsider during the last conference, but hell now take his rightful seat at the table. I hope you enjoy finding out how he bests the Holy Elites.

Its well into fall as I write this afterword, and this book is supposed to be released in winter. Its been a turbulent year for everyone to say the least, but I hope the coming year will be a bit kinder to us. Ill keep on praying.

Well, even if things do get better, Im sure Ill be hounded by deadlines as usual

Its time for me to share my thanks and apologies.

To my editor, Ohara. I know Im always causing you trouble. Even though my schedule was much more forgiving this time, Im so sorry that I just barely made it to the finish line. Its weird It really shouldnt be like this

To my illustrator, Falmaro. Thank you as always for your wonderful illustrations. A lot of important characters made their debut in this volume, and the insert pages were packed. Thank you for handling all my unreasonable demands, including the character designs.

A big thank-you also to all my readers. Now that were on Volume 8, no one would argue that its not a long-running series. Ive only been able to come this far because of your support. I look forward to continuing the series. I hope youll stay with me until the end.

Emudas manga adaptation is available to read on the Manga UP! app. The second volume of the manga is coming out in the same month as this book. I hope you check it out!

Volume 9 is next. Ill probably keep going with this plotline. I think Id like to delve more into the Holy Elites introduced in this volume and spin new stories. These are just my thoughts, though. Nothing is set in stone!

At any rate, I will do my best to surprise you even more. Lets meet again in the next volume.
