I have some exciting announcements to make!~

Hello fine folks of the Mofu Blog, long time no see! I hope you're all doing well!

With the beginning of the school year and transition to fall, lots of exciting things are happening and this place is no exception! I have a few big announcements to make!

First of all, I am pleased to announce that Volume 2 of my debut series My Best Friend is Dense Harem Main Character-kun, But Why am I the Heroine?! is already underway! In fact, the 1st chapter is almost finished as of this posting! I am currently aiming to release this sequel around the first half of November, but anything can happen, so no promises! I can assure you that I am giving it my absolute all to top its predecessor, integrating even more lovable characters, heartwarming moments and silly ROFL scenes! For the time being, this series alone will be my primary focus, the readers have spoken and have been heard!

Speaking of Dense Harem Main Character-kun, I’ve kept this a little hush-hush, secret undercover business, but I can confirm that I was indeed searching for an Official Artist who could handle all of the cover artwork for my beloved first light novel series! The mission was to discover my PONKAN8, that gifted fellow is the official illustrator and character designer for one of my personal favorite romantic comedy light novel series: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru! Considering that I was the one who singlehandedly did the artwork and text for the original cover, I have been dissatisfied with it for quite some time, (one of the reasons for the lower end price, despite novel length!) but was unsure if readers would be interested in such a unique story. I don’t think that a non-artist such as myself could truly do it the justice that it rightfully deserves, so I’ve scoured the depths unknown of Reddit and DeviantArt and have overseen several captivating galleries and portfolios! Honestly, since I just started this whole writing novels thing, I was worried that only a handful of artists would be willing to apply for my humble request… But…that wasn’t the case at all! Not too long after I posted my offer, over a hundred incredibly talented and motivated artists fell from the heavens and graced me with their more than welcomed presences! Overseeing so many different styles was a really fun experience and I will certainly return to those wonderful communities in the future with another series!

Anyhow, I am pleased to announce that I have found the perfect candidate for the cover artwork of my light novel series! I’d rather not say who this person is at this point for the sake of a fun surprise, but this amazing artist’s mastery of all things cute and fluffy could not be overlooked! Since coming up with the concept of this novel, I’ve always had an idea of what I wanted it to look like in my head, and I believe that this new Official Artist will surely surpass my already high expectations! This special assistant will also come up with original and iconic designs for Hiro and Tomo made with loving care and attention! In addition, as long as they aren’t too overwhelmed by other requests, will handle the cover artwork for ALL of my future volumes, starting with a redo of Volume 1! Although it seems weird for the author to say this, if you plan on reading this book soon, please wait for the completion of this commission in order to enjoy the full experience! Words cannot express how fortunate and grateful that I am to have discovered such an absurd talent who is already so passionate about this project, and I am super excited to see what they come up with!

With my own announcements out of the way, TGS2018 has come and gone and so has the 22nd… There was indeed a Capcom Ace Attorney presentation, but things didn’t go as expected… Although I am happy that new and old fans alike can enjoy this splendid game series on new platforms, I was definitely let down by the lack of a sequel being present at the conference… Well, I’m sure they’ll do it in time!

I cannot reiterate enough how truly thankful that I am that so many gifted artists were interested in working with me on this project! A big thank you to the Reddit and DeviantArt communities for reaching out to me and making me feel so welcomed! Once again, thank you all for supporting me up until now and please look forward to the materialization of my characters and world brought to life by an insanely underrated artist! Seriously, this person is REALLY good!

Farewell until next time!~
