Unlimited Fafnir:Volume 2 Afterword

Afterword

This is Tsukasa, I am so grateful to you for buying Unlimited Fafnir II, Scarlet Innocent.
Roughly three months after the previous installment, Volume 2 came out successfully, this is all thanks to everyone's support.
New characters have been added this time, making for quite a lively volume. Transfer students, the principal, and a new enemy, it's quite a lot of content.
I didn't hold back with foreshadowing that I refrained from using in Volume 1. It feels like the plot will start to accelerate all at once from this point onwards. Since the finish line is still very far away, I won't slow down until I get there. I'll sprint my hardest to the very end.
Then putting that aside—apart from the protagonist, almost all characters appearing have been ladies, but actually, in terms of setting, the gender ratio actually isn't that biased. The main reason for that is the presence of Sleipnir. Sleipnir is composed of young men whom Major Loki gathered together. With those eight and Yuu's friends and acquaintances from his NIFL days, Unlimited Fafnir's gender ratio is almost even. Also, the dragons attacking in search of mates are also male, you know?
If I write a prequel about the NIFL days, things would probably be the exact reverse, turning into "a story filled with men." Since there's no demand, I think I probably won't have a chance to do that...
Of course, the next volume will still be a story about Iris, Mitsuki, Tia and the rest. It won't suddenly become "a world of men" so please rest assured. Characters have increased and the plot is getting a bit rushed, but conversely, next volume is expected to be quite an easy read. Whether combat or romance, I will further intensify them, so please look forward to the decisive battle against that dragon in Volume 3.
Oh, one more thing to announce is that the manga adaptation for this series has been approved! I heard that the details will be gradually announced on the official website and various places, so please check it out if you have a chance.
Then next up are acknowledgements.
Korie Riko-sensei, I sincerely thank you for your lovely illustrations again. It's a kind of bliss to be able to see so many attractive girls. With Tia on the cover first of all, the swimsuit scene in the color pages and Iris not wearing something, every illustration is so cute and perfect!
Editor in charge, Shouji-sama, I am thankful to you again for your swift and precise suggestions. Whenever you point things out to me, I always discover what I overlooked and it's very helpful to me. I will strive to improve so please continue to be generous with your advice.
Then I would like to thank everyone involved in this book's production.
Okay, see you all next time.
