Akumu no Sumu Ie – Ghost Hunt v2 afterword

Afterword

h.e.l.lo, it's been a month ago. Thank you for your continued patronage (After all, there aren't any people who only read the last volume, right... ...)

Therefore, this has been some horror in a long time.

... I ended up depleting the things I wrote in the afterword of the first volume. Goodness, what to do.

I always received the ghost stories and scary gossips from all of you readers. At any rate, about five years have pa.s.sed, so I have collected a great amount of ghost stories. I would like to express my grat.i.tude to everyone who went out of their way to send me their letters.

When I looked over the many ghost stories and your personal experiences, I realized various things. Gossips and the like in particular, are immensely interesting phenomena and a source of everlasting interest. As a result of requesting information regarding a gossip called "The Purple Necktie" in the previous afterword, it incidentally seemed to be the initial stage of outbreak of the rumor, and I was able to see the process of its change and expansion right in front of my eyes. I think it gave me a valuable experience. I'm truly thankful to everyone who collected information for me.

Ono is continually recruiting ghost stories and gossips for an indefinite time. If there are scary stories you happen to overhear, please report to me by all means.

-- Speaking of thanks, last year I actually talked with the network and realized that I made an enormous misunderstanding regarding the inner workings of Christianity. I would like to lend this place to say my thanks to Tomoko-san who courteously pointed out the mistake and gave me instructions. To Akitsu Tooru-san as well, who went out of his way to take his time for me while he was busy, and let me hear his well-informed speeches: Thank you very much.

The ones I really have to thank the most are the people who encouraged me. I want to repeatedly give my exceptional grat.i.tude in particular to the people who supported the former series and are pa.s.sionate fans. Thank you very much.

And, I'll be very happy if those who knew the story before, as well as those who took their first work by Ono in their hands have enjoyed themselves.
