My first blog post, yaaay!~
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing fine on this fine Thursday afternoon! This being my very first blog post, I thought I'd introduce myself to you guys!
My name is Shintaro Mofujin! I'm an avid anime watcher, Light Novel and Manga reader! I also have a background in programming and have developed several video games on my own in the past, but that's another story!
Initially I watched the standard Anime shows that most people in the West watched during the 90's like Pokemon, Ranma, DBZ, Card Captors, Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo. Those were great times, but I eventually diversified my viewing catalog with other genres involving Romance, Slice-Of-Life and Comedy. I fondly remember when I first watched shows like Toradora, My Bride is a Mermaid and Clannad. (in addition to After Story) My initial impressions for these shows were more or less lukewarm at the start. "This isn't for me." I recall closed-mindedly having such unfortunate thoughts. Of course, it only took an episode or two for the charm of these goofy over-the-top characters to completely win me over and now I watch a little bit of everything!
At some point, I noticed a trend in Anime where shows were typically 12-13 episodes a season and rarely blessed with a second or third continuation so often I’d feel unsatisfied at the end despite having just seen a “conclusion.” It turns out that the majority of airing Anime these days are jumbled adaptations of Manga and Light Novels. Thus, leading to a whole thing with me suddenly reading Manga and LNs and eventually falling for their charms as well despite an initial cold reception. I fell in love with the Light Novel style of writing with the simple language, goofy characters, constant monologuing and charming onomatopoeia overuse. Although I mentioned this in the afterword of my debut novel, I’ll mention it again here!
The night before one of my fall semesters of college, I remember marathoning Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and the silly skit where Nozaki plays a visual novel game as a reference for his own in-universe manga series stood out to me. Along with his artist, they concluded that the character who cares the most about the generic harem player character is the best friend named Tomoda! (Essentially a play on the word “Friend” in Japanese) They end up sympathizing with him to the point that they pen a made-up happy ending with him and the main character. I found this scene pretty funny, yet also endearing and this concept served as the base inspiration for my debut novel series: My Best Friend is Dense Harem Main Character-kun, But Why am I the Heroine?! It is an original fluffy Rom-Com story about the over-caring best friend of a Dense Harem Main Character-kun who is transformed into a cute girl one fateful evening and the hilarious and heartwarming moments that follows. It has been lingering in my tiny head for the past couple of years and after convincing myself to give writing my own light novel a try, I finally succeeded and I couldn’t be any happier to have done so! The reception so far has been lovely and I am still teary-eyed to see others enjoying and supporting the story that I worked tirelessly on with all of my love and care.
I will give it my all to continue writing more fluffy stories and hope that as many readers as possible can experience them! My debut novel released just last month as of this posting and also my shorter 26k word standalone romance novel: I, Who Fell in Love with the Other You: Wish is available as well! I’m currently working on a few cheaper priced short rom-com standalone stories to pad out the wait for the 2nd iteration of my main series! In fact, I’m working on a very fluffy one with a ghost heroine right this instant!
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day to read here and if you liked any of my stories, please feel free to share that enjoyment with others! This is Mofujin signing out, it is a pleasure to meet you everyone!
