It's HERE!
Welcome readers to the Mofu Blog, the only place where the laziest novelist of all time will grace you with their rare presence!
IT’S HERE!!! As mentioned in last week’s post, I have chosen a really talented artist who will handle the artwork for the future volumes of my main light novel series! Of course, we’re talking about my debut fluffy rom-com with a gender-bender twist, My Best Friend is Dense Harem Main Character-kun, But Why am I the Heroine?!
I’m pleased to announce that this complete overhaul of the first volume cover is now available for your viewing pleasure! I’m also proud to announce that the main illustrator of this project is… *drum* *drum* *drum* …Alice Vu! She’s an incredibly talented artist with a very, very promising future judging from how much love and dedication she put into this first assignment! For a small starting writer like myself, nothing makes me happier than seeing amazing artists bring these lovable characters to life and WOW did Alice go to town with these spectacular character designs!
Hiro is just as much of a generic looking dense harem protagonist as it gets, yet he was masterfully drawn with a hint of bishounen characteristics sprinkled in. As for the main heroine, Tomo, words cannot express how happy I am with how she turned out. Cute, fluffy, fluttery and tsundere have been magnificently blended and harmonized into perfection by a genius of the self-proclaimed moe moe kyun kyun mastery! Beautiful chestnut brown twin-tailed hair that glistens and reaches to the ankles, an adorable pout that demands your attention and frilly ribbons as far as the eyes can see, Tomo really does seem like main heroine material now, right? I am truly breathless in wonder and amazement that these are now the characters in my story!
Of course, we cannot forget the most meaningful and important addition on this cover… the in-universe cat mascot Neko Nyan-san! In the story, this cute yet generic looking cat thing is popular with girls and kids alike, and has been featured in a variety of clothing lines, anime, and music! As Tomo’s favorite character, he is also an important part of the story and seeing him on the cover was a real treat! Truly the manifestation of cute and lazy that he was always meant to be! Although my expectations were already high, Alice surpassed them multiple times and was really nice and diligent while painstakingly doing so. She really is good at this whole drawing thing and despite having no prior experience, even went to the trouble of doing all of the text placement on the cover! So many small details like contrasting eye colors for the main couple and much more have been integrated into this captivating piece.
This is a thank you to my official artist and you guys for all of the support you have lent me up until now! Although it’s selfish to ask for more, please continue to do so and I promise to give it my all to power on with the rest of the series! Chapter 1 of Volume 2 is now complete and it looks like you’ll all be able to read this anticipated sequel by Thanksgiving! In the meantime, please admire this amazing cover artwork while you wait and I’m sure the time will pass by very quickly! One more thing, if you’re as captivated by this cover as I, then please look at other works by this special artist in the links below! With that, I bid you all adieu!
