Gimai Seikatsu - Days With My Step Sister

Thank you very much for your purchase of "Gimai Seikatsu" volume 5, the novelized version of the YouTube visual novel. I am the original creator of the YouTube version, as well as the author of the novel: Mikawa Ghost. A boy and a girl of similar background start to learn more about each other on a daily basis, achieving a connection deeper than the superficial level—that is the "Gimai Seikatsu" series.

The people who have read and finished this 5th volume might think that we're nearing the end, but rest assured. I have many more stories to tell, and I am very certain that, for both the fans of the YouTube version and the novel version, you will not be disappointed. "Gimai Seikatsu" depicts the story of Asamura-kun and Ayase-san as they experience their own ups and downs in life. Just as we go through school, university, employment, marriage, and all other steps in life, I will stay true to the idea of depicting their events in life, as well as their mutual contact, so I hope you look forward to it.

Finally, it is time for me to give my thanks. To my illustrator Hiten-san, Nakashima Yuki-san, Amasaki Kouhei-san, Suzuki Ayu-san, Hamano Daiki-san, Suzuki Minori-san, our video director Ochiai Yuusuke and everybody else involved with the YouTube channel, my editor O-san, the mangaka of the comicalization Kanade Yumi-san, all personnel involved with the release of this series, and of course to all my readers—Thank you very much.

This has been Mikawa Ghost.
