About the author

Hiro Arikawa won the tenth annual Dengeki Novel Prize for new writers for Shio no Machi: Wish on My Precious in 2003, and the book was published the following year. It was praised for its love story between a heroine and hero divided by age and social status, and for its depiction of military structures. Although she is a light novelist, her books from her second work onwards have been published as hardbacks alongside more literary works with Arikawa receiving special treatment in this respect from her publisher, MediaWorks. Shio no Machi was also later published in hardback. Her 2006 light novel Toshokan Sensō (The Library War) was named as Hon no Zasshi's number one for entertainment for the first half of 2006, and came fifth in the Honya Taishō for that year, competing against ordinary novels.

She often writes about the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) and her first three novels concerning its three branches are known as the Jieitai Sanbusaku (The SDF Trilogy); she also wrote about the fictional Library Forces in the Toshokan Sensō series. Raintree no Kuni, which first appeared as a book within a book in Toshokan Nairan was later published by Arikawa as a spin-off with another publisher. It was adapted into a film titled World of Delight released on November 21, 2015.[2][3]Her novel Shokubutsu Zukan (ja) will be adapted into a film titled Shokubutsu Zukan: Unmei no Koi, Hiroimashita and scheduled for release on June 4, 2016.

Reviews

[Erika · Rating 2 out of 5]

うーん、一言で言うと、つまらない、かな…
「蛇足」って言葉はこの本にぴったりなんじゃなかろうか。
キャラクター達全員がMary/Marty Sueだし、誰もキャラ的に成長してない。

本編の４作品は、まだ「表現の自由」を考えさせる、と言う要素があったから多少興味深く読めたけど、この「別冊」２冊、とくにIIのこっちは全く響くものがない。
引き続き、ファンによる二次創作臭強し。

悪役として登場する人も、書き割りのような分かりやすい悪役。
まぁ、ひねくれたストーカー気質の思い込みは、男女ともに怖いね、ということで。

やっとこのシリーズともおさらばだ。

もう、ただの少女漫画。
ちゃんとみんな幸せになるあたりが有川浩だなーと。
