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.
