Hello. It’s overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This
is Sakaki Kasa.
Yes, at long last, Adolescent Adam is complete.
9 volumes over 9 years. But you can’t really say I was
writing 1 a year or anything. In fact, it took 7 and a half years just for 7, 8,
and 9. Sorry.
9 years really was too long. The story was based on a very
Chuunibyou idea, but the concept of Chuunibyou changed a lot over those 9
years. The light novel industry has changed too. The selling point of this
series was “It’s like a normal LN except they fuck!”, but now you can find that
under ordinary LN labels, so it’s not that special.
But despite that, I somehow managed to finish it. I got it
all out and I couldn’t be happier.
I wasn’t sure that was going to happen in the gap between the
fight against Kurosaki and the fight against Lilith. After the clearly
dangerous flags I raised about Machina in Vol. 7, it looked like a lot of you
were worried about her. Well, you were right. That was my original plan.
But this series is generally about getting it on in fun and
sexy ways, so I’m glad I changed my mind about that.
I managed to get in the whole story I had originally decided
on. I finished the whole thing! I didn’t have to leave anything out!
…Oh, wait. I forgot to do a sex scene for Miss D.
Volumes 8 and 9 effectively act as a two-parter. They were
about a Changing World and about Love. The subtitles are always linked to the
type of sex in the volume, so (as you know by now) Volume 8 was rough and
erotic while Volume 9 was sweet and lovey-dovey. That clear difference made
them easier to write back to back.
And I know I mentioned an Adam game in Volume 7’s Afterword,
but while that never happened, some parts of it went into the game Maoten which
is on sale now by CandySoft. The art was of course done by Amagai-san. If
you’re interested, please check it out.
Last of all, I have nothing but thanks for Amagai-san and my
editor T-san who stuck with me to the very end. I hope we can work together on
something else in the future.
Now, everyone, I don’t know how it will happen, but until we
meet again.
So now that Adolescent Adam is over, how did you enjoy it as an whole? and what made you want to translate this series? thanks
