To the people who made it here—thank you for reading my novel.
This story began with a girl who arrived from another world, into a story, into a life where five girls were never supposed to fall in love with her.
But somewhere along the way… it stopped being just a story.
It became something real.
It grew into more than I ever imagined—into a journey of choosing yourself, of healing, of longing, and of soft chaos.
Of learning how to stay, even when it felt easier to leave.
This story was always meant to be shared. Always meant to be felt. And it will always remain free to read.
If you found something in it that stayed with you—thank you again, for giving it the chance to reach you.
With all my brain, kyoani
As for what's next
While this story closes, something new is already in the works. I'm currently working on a brand new novel—and continuing to build the world of Legal Hearts, a story of ambition, secrets, and the complicated intimacy of power and trust.
More is coming.
I hope you'll stay.
