Kazamidori
Description
Kazamidori is a Japanese creator known for writing light novels, with published works extending into manga adaptations. The creator is credited as the original author behind the series Sayonara Isekai, Mata Kite Ashita, which began as a light novel before being adapted into a manga. Kazamidori’s professional status is that of a light novelist, and the name is associated with the Kadokawa publishing imprint, specifically its Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label.
The most notable original work by Kazamidori is Sayonara Isekai, Mata Kite Ashita, a fantasy series that blends isekai and road movie elements. The story follows a protagonist named Keisuke who is transported to a dying, post-apocalyptic other world where most of the population has vanished, turning into crystal. He travels across this desolate landscape and meets a half-elf girl named Nito, and together they journey in search of their own goals, including a legendary location known as the Golden Sea. The light novel series is published in Japan by Kadokawa, with illustrations provided by the artist Nimoshi. The first volume was released in February 2020, and the second volume followed in June of the same year. The series has also been released in other languages, including a traditional Chinese edition published by Chingwin Publishing Group.
The adaptation history for Sayonara Isekai, Mata Kite Ashita shows a transition from a web novel to a published light novel and then to a manga. The story was first serialized online on the KAKUYOMU platform starting in January 2021. The manga adaptation, which retains Kazamidori as the credited story author, began serialization in the magazine Comic Brise on March 19, 2021. The art for the manga is provided by the artist kesima, based on the original character designs by Nimoshi. The manga is published by KILL TIME COMMUNICATION.
The thematic elements in Kazamidori’s work are distinct within the isekai genre. Rather than focusing on power fantasies or adventure in a vibrant new world, the series is noted for its melancholic and contemplative tone. The setting is a world that is already in its final stages, with a focus on themes of loss, grief, survival, and finding a reason to continue living. The narrative explores the psychological state of its characters, with the protagonist and others he meets dealing with trauma and suicidal ideation, and the story emphasizes human connection as a means of finding hope and purpose in desolation. This focus on emotional healing and a quiet journey through a dying landscape is considered a defining feature of Kazamidori’s artistic identity.
Regarding industry significance, Kazamidori’s work received early recognition. The light novel series was ranked in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! guidebook for 2021, taking the 18th position in the bunkobon category and the 9th position in the new works category. This recognition upon the release of the first volume indicates that the series was noted as a noteworthy new title in the competitive light novel market. The work has been licensed for English digital release by J-Novel Club under the title Goodbye Otherworld, See You Tomorrow, and has been described by reviewers as a highly anticipated license and a unique take on the isekai formula.
