I am Mikawa Ghost, the original creator and author of the YouTube and light novel versions.
This story follows two individuals who have unconsciously felt a longing for love since their upbringing, as they become stepsiblings, communicate with their hearts, and grow together while falling in love. It has been a year since they first met. The scenery around them may look somewhat similar to last year's, but it has definitely changed...
This work is not a typical romance story but is called a love life novel, which means that it deeply focuses on the lives of Yuuta and Saki. As a year goes by, the landscape of life changes dramatically, and human relationships also change subtly but surely. Naturally, the environment surrounding Yuuta and Saki is also changing little by little, and a different story awaits them compared to last year.
As the volume number increases and the school year progresses, there are concerns about the completion of the work. It's true that as a "high school romance story," it's steadily progressing and it wouldn't be surprising to see an end in sight. However, this work is a love life novel. The lives of the two are what should be depicted, and it cannot be considered complete until they fill in any gaps in their lives and reach a stage where no more growth or change is expected. Many more steps in life are needed for that.
It may become a long, long story, but I hope that all readers will follow Yuuta and Saki's lives to the very end.
Now, for the acknowledgements. I would like to thank Hiten, the illustrator, voice actors Nakajima Yuki, Tenzaki Kouhei, Suzuki Ai, Hamano Daiki, Suzuki Minori, director Ochiai Yūsuke and the entire YouTube version staff, editor O-san, manga artist Kanade Yumika, all related parties, and of course, the readers. Thank you always.
That's all from Mikawa Ghost.
