Volume 4 is coming out THIS month! Yay!
Greetings, everyone! Oh, and Happy New Year as well! This is my very first blog post for 2020, so it’s been a while, huh? …I’m so sorry for worrying you, but I’m totally fine!
Speaking of which, I wanted to apologize for that. It’s been forever since I last posted here… I am truly sorry for taking so long with progress and updates, it’s just that life gets busy sometimes and it can get difficult to find time to write. I’m the type of author who can only write when I’m happy, it’s difficult to write cute and fluffy romance novels when you’re feeling down. One’s writing will take a nosedive under such circumstances, so I never forced myself whenever it happens. This feeling was at its worse during the tragic Kyoto Animation incident that occurred not long after the rerelease of I, Who Fell in Love with the Other You. As one of their biggest fans since I was a little and as a creator who is greatly inspired by their beautiful works, I was deeply affected by the tragedy and I struggled to do much of anything. So many lives lost just like that, it’s way too sad… So many bad things have been happening lately, in fact, I almost lost a family member to a stroke just before this post went up (Thankfully they survived and are now resting in a hospital, please take good care of yourselves, your health should always come first!).
But despite how much of a downer all of that is, I wanted to remind you that there are always good people out there who fight against these horrible things with acts of generosity! So many people donated to KyoAni’s charities and left tributes all across the world, it’s unreal. Time is always moving forward, it never waits for anyone – therefore, instead of mourning the loss for the rest of our lives, I believe we should honor them by living life to the fullest without any regrets. I will do so too, and that’s why I’m here with today’s long-awaited update!
It feels great to be back! I am very pleased to announce that Volume 4 of My Best Friend is Dense Harem Main Character-kun, But Why am I the Heroine?! is finally coming out, THIS month! Yahoo, it’s about time! Although I was originally aiming to launch it on Valentine’s Day, (since it is a cute and fluffy love story) it still needs a bit more time and will likely not be ready until the end of February. I know the wait has been pretty bad, (In fact, many of you have asked me about it on social media and for that I’m so, so very grateful to know that you still care!) but writing a series like this is quite difficult (I’m only one person) and I will always prioritize the quality of the story over just halfheartedly releasing them for the sake of it. I am also a fan of my own series, you know? Well, I’m happy to let you know that the wait won’t be too long now, and it’s quite the lengthy read! The manuscript ended up being over 90k words, so it’s almost like you’re getting a novel and a half! I can assure you that it’s as heartwarming and silly as ever, and a sequel that is worth the wait! Hnnnggg, so many fun and fluffy scenes, I really think you’ll enjoy it!
With that, I will get back to work so that I can get it out as soon as possible! Thank you all so very much for your support over this past year, it’s still surreal to me that a random idea I had was able to grow so much! I’m very fortunate to have all of you and I hope you stick around for the rest of the series! Hopefully the next update really will be about the launch of Volume 4 and I don’t get abducted by a UFO or something! Ahaha… uuuu… l-let’s hope not… Also, I will have more details about the very first paperback copies of the series after 4 launches! I hope to see you soon, thanks for reading!~
As a bonus, here's a sneak peak for the next cover! How exciting!
