A Message from Ichinose Akiko: The Journey Continues

To those who have followed my journey chapter by chapter, it is truly wonderful to reconnect.

For those who have devoured these pages in a single breath, I am delighted to make your acquaintance.

I am Ichinose Akiko, your adorable, kind, and undeniably genius author—a beautiful girl, naturally.

Indeed, despite the whirlwind of activity that has consumed my time recently, this book has finally made its debut.

My deepest gratitude extends to my editor, Ren-chan, and even more profoundly, to each and every one of you, my cherished readers, who have steadfastly supported me on this journey.

As many of you have likely discerned, this book positively brims with a myriad of tokusatsu elements.

Having been raised on a steady diet of tokusatsu since childhood, my formative years were profoundly shaped by the likes of Ultraman, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Metal Heroes, and a host of other unforgettable series.

Naturally, my affections also lie with the enchanting realm of magical girl series, such as Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica!

It is from this profound wellspring of affection that this very book was brought into being!

I find immense joy in crafting stories, and an even greater delight in witnessing the smiles of my readers! Though the magical girl genre remains somewhat niche on Boluobao (TL Note: A Chinese web novel platform, literally ‘Pineapple Bun’), and this book’s performance hasn’t quite soared to the heavens, the sheer satisfaction of knowing that some readers genuinely connect with and cherish my narrative makes every effort abundantly worthwhile.

Ahem, to steer us back to the main discourse: promptly after midnight, a substantial release of approximately 10,000 words, spread across several launch chapters, awaits you.

Following this, about two additional chapters will be updated tomorrow.

It is my earnest hope that these new installments bring you immense pleasure!

Within the forthcoming chapters, prepare yourselves to encounter:

“Xiaoxue is a woman who could truly be my mother!”

Witness a villainous young lady of noble blood, compelled to don a maid’s attire and submit to punitive measures!

Prepare for a brutal ‘Shura Field’ (TL Note: A term from Japanese manga and anime, referring to a chaotic or tragic scene, often involving intense emotional conflict or rivalry, especially in romantic triangles.) unfolding between a celebrated rock superstar and an enigmatic, ice-cold beauty!

And within the unfolding new arc, a dramatic sequence of events including a public marriage proposal delivered on stage, and the bitter confinement born of unrequited love.

I implore you to bear witness to it all!

It is solely through your unwavering support that Akiko can ascend to even greater heights!

Therefore, for your initial subscriptions and every other gesture of kindness, Arigato (TL Note: Japanese for ‘Thank You’)—
