For the first time, here is a chapter extra on Harumaki Yuuki and Hinata Ryûko. Since I got no recommendation (or comments at all), I decided to make the first extra about the main characters!
I had a hard time finding what to say without spoiling anything so it still lacks some facts about them. As the story progresses, I will gradually add more details for them as well as numerous other characters!
I had exams last week so I wasn't able to write chapter 4 in time, but it will be out by next Monday for sure!
Until then, My sincere regards!!

Author's note : Yuuki was the first character I created, four years ago. I still remember how proud I felt when my sister told me he seemed cool, and I hope many of my readers will feel the same way. Since this is just the beginning of Kikai Unmei, he might seem a bit weird to most of you now—but that will change gradually! I hope my little Yuuki will reach everyone's heart.

Author's note : When creating Ryûko, I was heavily inspired by Chie from Persona 4. They still share many similarities to this day. She's also one of the first two characters I created—alongside Yuuki, who came first. At first, Ryûko wasn't supposed to be as important as she is now, but she ended up almost as central as Yuuki. She is easily top 3 among my characters for me and I hope she will have as much success for you readers too!
