To all the people in Dengeki’s editorial office who okayed various scheduling insanities, the people at the printer’s, the proofreaders, and my editor Mr. Papio, who even came in on his days off to work with me.
To Kazuma Kamachi and Mamizu Arisawa, for endorsing my references to their work, and to many other authors for their advice, including Makoto Sanda and Suzu Suzuki.
To the staff of Smile Café Roots, for allowing me to use them in the story.
And to friends, acquaintances, and family.
To Suzuhito Yasuda, for putting up with my last-second schedule, reading the whole story, and providing appropriate illustrations.
And most of all, to you readers.
Thank you so much!
I hope to see you in Ikebukuro’s odd daily life again!
Ryohgo Narita
