Reincarnated as the Mastermind of the Story Volume 2 Afterword

Thank you for picking up Volume 2 of Reincarnated as the Mastermind Behind the Story!

When Volume 1 was released last summer, it quickly went into reprints thanks to all of your incredible support. I’d like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude!

This time around, I’ve made even more additions compared to the first volume, resulting in an even thicker book. Of course, I hope that beyond just its size, you’ve also enjoyed the content itself!

Now, let’s talk about the upcoming Volume 3.

Thanks to all of your support, Reincarnated as the Mastermind Behind the Story has officially been greenlit for a third volume! I started working on it toward the end of last year, and everything is progressing smoothly!

In Volume 3, Ren’s story will continue to unfold.

He’ll finally make his way to the city, encounter the descendants of the Seven Heroes, and struggle to gain new powers. There will also be plenty of events with the heroines. And on top of all that, Ren will come face-to-face with an utterly unexpected individual—

With the story taking an even bigger turn, I hope you’ll continue to follow along!

I’m excited for you to see how Ren’s journey ties into the legend of the Seven Heroes, so please stay tuned for more updates!

Additionally, the first volume of the manga adaptation was recently released, and I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response!

The intensity of the battle scenes illustrated by Segawa-sensei left me speechless—even as the original author, I was completely captivated!

For more details, please check out the official Shōnen Ace website. I would be honored if you could support both the novel and the manga!

Finally, I’d like to express my gratitude.

To Nakamura-sensei, thank you once again for your breathtaking illustrations! From Fiona to Ren and Lishia, every character was beautifully brought to life, and I was deeply moved by your work.

To my former editor, K-san, who was recently promoted—thank you for all the invaluable guidance you provided throughout my career. And to both of my current editors, I truly appreciate your continued support and insightful feedback.

Though under a different label, I would also like to extend my gratitude to Kadokawa Books, who published my previous work Magic Stone Gourmet, for kindly including advertisements for this series in their publications.

To all the designers, sales and distribution teams, and everyone involved in bringing this book to life—thank you.

And most of all, to you, the readers—thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I sincerely hope to see you again in Volume 3.

Please continue to support Reincarnated as the Mastermind Behind the Story!
