The story has progressed, and right about the time when Ferid and Crowley reappeared in the manga, too. They will be playing a very active part from here on out.
Those of you who start reading a novel from the afterword, please stop reading right here, because there are spoilers ahead.
This volume marks the end of Crowley's story as a human and opens the chapter, stretching into eternity, of his story as a vampire. From this point on, the narrative will be centered around Mika, but involving Crowley, and also Ferid, Krul, Saitou, and... an even bigger wave of mysteries awaits ahead (those of you who read the Ichinose Guren: Catastrophe at 16 series have already felt the shock from Saitou being mentioned here, I think).
Anyway, since the Story of Vampire Michaela series is a grand scale vampire chronicle, it is interesting to write. The most interesting thing about it is that the emotional rises and falls are somewhat off-tone.
Maybe it could be attributed to the Medieval Ages, where death was so close to every person, being the setting, or maybe to the vampires, who lost life, being the main characters. Or maybe it is due to the fact the story literally spans over thousands of years.
That's why, compared to the novels with Guren as the protagonist and the manga with Yuu as the protagonist, I kinda chose the technique to make it more exciting by having few such emotional highs and lows, and well, I sorta develop the story and the characters, taking their emotions into account and imagining the tone of the story as "dark blue", and just generally having fun in the process because the opportunity to write this kind of opus is a rare one, no doubt.
Then again, I have to admit that it is quite troublesome and takes serious effort to keep this story fully consistent with the stories of the manga and of the Guren novel series (lol).
However, in the manga, Yuu-chan has finally started thinking that he wants to get to the core of this whole story, so the mysteries from the Guren tale and the Michaela tale will come together in one place and bear fruit, and the full picture of this whole opus, "Owari no Seraph", will suddenly start becoming visible.
The near future developments in the manga will make those of you who read the novels repeatedly exclaim "No way!", I'm sure. In short, what I want to say is, read everything, okay? (ehhh, lol)
Or rather, I'll be counting on your continued support!
