Gimai Seikatsu - Days With My Step Sister

Thank you very much for buying the 3rd volume of the novelized version of "Gimai Seikatsu." I am the original creator of the Youtube version, as well as the author of the novel: Mikawa Ghost.

This volume was about Asamura Yuuta and Ayase Saki both trying their hardest to keep a solid distance between them, as grave changes occur inside of them. My editor and Youtube staff have referred to this as a 'Divine Volume!', and I hope you feel the same. If I receive such praise from my dear readers as well, that would be my greatest joy.

Now then, for the people who have read the volume to the very end, you probably have already realized it, but there is another meaning behind this novel's title "Gimai Seikatsu". From here on out, the tone of the story will shift greatly. Of course, the day by day style we've kept so far will remain the same, but their relationship won't be able to stay the same any longer… This much is shown in the very last sentence.

The new characters that so nonchalantly appeared in this volume will be properly tied into future developments as well, so I hope you look forward to reading more. I'll be happy if you keep watching over these two and how their relationship evolves.

Onwards to my thanks.

First up, to my illustrator Hiten-san. Thank you very much for your wonderful illustrations. I have no words for the gratitude I feel to see these important scenes inside the novel being brought to life like that. I especially liked the cover illustration for this volume. Seeing them walk down the street at night filled me with an odd feeling of nostalgia. Of course, such youthful scenery does not exist anywhere in my personal memories, but after seeing this single illustration, my brain just fabricated these memories. It really brings out the importance of the other scenes in the novel, representing it perfectly. I hope for your continued cooperation in the future.

To Nakashima Yuki-san as the voice of Ayase Saki, Amasaki Kouhei-san as the voice of Asamura Yuuta, Suzuki Ayu-san as the voice of Narasaka Maaya-san, Hamano Daiki-san as the voice of Maru Tomokazu, and Suzuki Minori-san as the voice of Yomiuri Shiori, thank you very much for lending your voices to the Youtube project. Because you bring life to all these characters, it allows me to envision them much more real and vibrantly, making writing them a lot easier to do.

Of course, the same goes to the video director Ochiai Yuusuke-san and all the other Youtube staff, as well as everybody else involved. Thank you very much for everything. Thanks to you, we can bring more and more content to the readers and viewers of "Gimai Seikatsu". This is all thanks to your hard and dedicated work. Really, thank you so much.

Finally, no matter how you twist or turn it, I have to thank the readers and viewers. Thank you very much for supporting us and granting us this chance. I'll try my best as always to provide the greatest content for you, so I hope for your continued support of "Gimai Seikatsu".

This has been Mikawa Ghost.
