Afterword
HELLO, I’M SEIJU AMANO, THE AUTHOR.
I made my debut after winning a newcomer’s award and since then, I’ve published light novels, general fiction, and children’s literature, as well as various scripts. Recently, I’ve been doing more work as a YouTube writer.
No two people in the world are exactly alike. No one’s values align perfectly with another. And yet, by making an effort to understand each other, people can find harmony. By respecting one another, they can even sow the seeds of love. That was the sentiment I poured into this book.
I hope that through experiencing Saito and Akane’s married life, more people will come to think: Maybe marriage isn’t so bad after all.
This novel is based on the manga videos I scripted for the YouTube channel Manga Angel Neko Oka. I’ve delved deeper into the characters’ emotions and significantly expanded the scenes, so whether you’re experiencing this story for the first time or are already familiar with the manga videos, I believe you’ll enjoy it.
Many other talented writers are also creating and updating romance manga on the Manga Angel Neko Oka YouTube channel. If you’re interested, please check them out as well!
Bringing this work to you was only possible thanks to the support of many people.
To my editor, K-sama: I was truly delighted when you told me “I love your rom-coms!”
To everyone at MF Bunko J’s editorial department, to those in the publishing industry, and to all involved: Thank you for your understanding and support as we take on this new challenge of adapting YouTube manga videos into light novels.
To the illustrator, Nanami Narumi-sensei: Thank you for your incredible art; it’s all so full of energy that the illustrations seem to leap right off the pages.
To the manga artist, Mosskonbu-sensei: I truly feel that the reason this work became so popular on YouTube is thanks to your irresistibly cute artwork.
To everyone at Manga Angel Neko Oka: Thank you for your full support in video production, promotion, and everything else. I could never have made it this far alone.
And to you, the readers who picked up this book: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would love to continue depicting Saito and Akane’s married life, so if you enjoyed this story, I’d be thrilled if you recommended it to your friends and acquaintances. Please continue to support these two in the future.
In a year of great upheaval,
