Volume 3 afterword

Ebisu Seiji here. Thank you very muchfor taking this book into your hands.

Now then, we’ve embarked onto volumethree of [Ore Ga Suki Nano Wa Imouto Dakedo Imouto Janai]. This isalso a first for me, realizing the difficulties of keeping a seriesgoing. Still, I am very delighted that we’ve come this far.

To the people who read this from thevery start, or to the people who took the third volume into theirhands out of a pure whim, I would be very happy if you thought thatyou spent your time well.

The premise of the story this timeisn’t different at all. The little sister loves her big brother waytoo much but she can’t be honest about it. However this time, we havethe newly introduced doujin industry and also the all-girls school,so I think that we’ve managed to widen the horizon quite a bit. And,in the middle of that, while the two of them are starting to growmore and more, I, as a writer, also wanted to grow with them.

Just as before, I want to thank myeditor Kobayashi-san for making this release possible. After workingcountless ours on the rewriting, I once more realized that it wouldbe very hard to create a novel alone. In my novel, I also wrote theeditor with that in mind but I still wanted to say it out loud here.

This time as well, my illustratorGintarou-san drew very magnificent drawings. Seeing Suzuka wear amaid outfit (+ also where she lifts up the skirt on the cover), I wasgrinning about close to a whole hour, just looking at it.

Although I am not an M ( I really amnot okay?), the moment I saw these illustrations I thought “Maybeit wouldn’t be so bad if Suzuka was my partner” something likethat. To all the people that though “This illustration looks sogood, I’ll take it just because of that”, I wholeheartedly ask youto become friends with me. I would do exactly the same after all. Itseems like I really was enchanted by my illustrator.

Speaking about Gintarou-san, justrecently I had the opportunity to finally meet him in person and talkwith him. Him being a soft, handsome person, even someone like mewith low communication skills has had a fun time talking with him. Atthe same time, with the both of us having a foot fetish, we had aheated discussion which ended like “Knee-socks are good and all butthigh highs are the best!” Just being able to talk about someonewith that made me really happy.

Oh, it seems like his turned into adairy entry of a maniac it seems. In the end, I just wanted to oncemore say my thanks to my illustrator.

Finally, I wanted to give my thanks toall the other important people that allowed me to release anothervolume, and allowing me to make this a series in general. Really,thank you very much. Not to forget all the readers that supported methe whole way through. Having official started this as a series, Ihave received my first fan-letters. To not disappoint all my fans, Iwill give it my best to continue with all my might.

(Although I will give it my best tosatisfy everyone, I will give no comment on the route that I havedecided on!)

Now then, I sincerely hope that we canmeet again in a future volume—-
