The Story of Vampire Michaela by Kagami Takaya~

Afterword

Afterword

Hello, this is Kagami Takaya. I'm not sure whether there are first time readers among you who don't know me yet or not, but since it's my first novel published under Shueisha, I decided to start with a self-introduction regardless. So, I'm in charge of the script for the Owari no Seraph manga, as well as the novels. Before starting on this series, I worked on such series as "Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu" ("The Legend of the Legendary Heroes") and "Itsuka Tenma no Kurousagi" ("A Dark Rabbit has Seven Lives"). Both of the aforementioned got anime adaptations, and I would like to thank those of you who know them. And those who haven't read them, do give a try! (lol).

Okay, with this out of the way~ I will now talk about the new series for Owari no Seraph.

Currently, the Owari no Seraph manga takes place in the world as it is after ruin–

In the light novel series "Owari no Seraph: Ichinose Guren, 16sai no Hametsu" ("Seraph of the End: Ichinose Guren, Catastrophie at 16"), published by Kodansha, with Ichinose Guren in his high school years as the protagonist, it is described just how the world fell into ruin (you will see how Guren, Shinya, Kureto, Goshi, Mito, Sayuri, Shigure and Mahiru met in high school, and how they fought the collapse of the world. Ferid also makes an appearance(lol)).

Both the manga and the light novel series are original works (not a manga novelized, or a novel getting a manga adaptation). They are the stories that I started at the same time about what happened before the collapse of the world and what is going on after it. In short, till today, I have been working on the stories from two different time periods of the Owari no Seraph universe simultaneously! And now, I'm introducing you yet another time period!

It is a tale of the vampire side. And its scale is by far the grandest. I believe that those of you who have finished reading this first novel are already aware that this historical drama with extensive cast is structured in a way that involves every other Owari no Seraph story. Why did vampires come into being? Why did they become the way they are? What is Ferid's story? What is Crowley's? And Krul's? What about Yuu, Mika and Guren? I'm trying to write this tale as an independent one, but if you read not only this one but all the three sources, you will find it a zillion times more fun as secret tricks in each get uncovered! At least this is what is supposed to be the selling point of the series (lol). I have fun writing these stories, so I sincerely hope that you will also have fun reading them. Well then, "The Story of Vampire Michaela" raises its curtain. Ladies and gentlemen, I will be counting on your support from now on.
