Not This Death

alex beta portrait vs final!!

big interview from here (first 4 articles)

sharing anywhere is fine, but please credit me.

Q: Congratulations on finishing almost 8 years of serialization. As a way to welcome the last chapter, all previous volumes went into heavy reprint, and the first publishing of the last volume was suddenly increased by 100.000 copies. We are told that the total number of copies sold has exceeded 23 million. With the release of the last volume, I understand that your work on Golden Kamuy has reached it’s end for the time being. Please share your current feelings with us.

Noda: What you said just now is further confirmation for me that so many readers have acknowledged this work.

Making all chapters, including the last one, free to read, countdown to the last chapter, the announcement of the live action, the exhibition - I feel like this information warfare strategy we designed with my editor, Ookuma Hakkou, has worked out very well. Ultimately all of our efforts have paid off.
