Instead of an epilogue or 4-koma, Ishida included a lengthy afterward in the final volume.

He confirms as people suspected, that things took a downturn around Volume 7/8 of :Re. His health began to suffer, though he doesn't clarify beyond admitting to having "complications" and being a little scared at first.

He also discusses his life, talking about his childhood and education/work leading up to becoming a manga creator.

This whole thing is so painful to read.

Let’s respect this man for everything he’s done, rather than bashing him for rushing the series. This was a nice product in the end. Let’s hope he rests, his health desperately needs it.
