Afterword

To all my readers, my name is Kiraku Kishima.

Thank you for picking up What Would Happen If You Saved a High School Girl Who Was About to Jump?.

This work was originally a novelization of a video from the YouTube channel “Manga Angel Neko Oka.” “Manga Angel Neko Oka” has many other heartwarming romance stories, so please check them out if you have the chance.

Now, this work went through a lot before it was published as a book, but it was made possible with the cooperation of many people.

To those who supported me since it was published on the web, and to the fans of “Manga Angel Neko Oka.”

To Sneaker Bunko, who published it; to my editor, Natsuki Miyagawa-san, who listened patiently to my stubborn ideas; to Mikawa Ghost-sensei and the staff of “Manga Angel Neko Oka,” who generously helped with the production.

To the god-tier illustrator “Ratan,” who always draws such an adorable Hatsushiro in the manga videos; to Kuro Namako-san, who drew the beautiful cover illustration and responded to my repeated retakes with the skill of a seasoned artisan.

To my mentor, who guided me to my debut. To everyone in the “Kiraku Kishima Creative Club,” who always listens to my various consultations, complaints, and boasts.

To my grandmother, who, when I quit my job and moved to Tokyo, declaring, “I’m going to be a novelist!” against my parents’ strong opposition, secretly gave me one hundred thousand yen.

To Neko Oka-san, who gave me this wonderful opportunity to create.

And to the best protagonist, Yuuki Yuusuke, and the best heroine, Hatsushiro Kotori, who suddenly appeared before me when I was racking my brain, thinking, “How do I write a rom-com?”

Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of you!!

Thanks to you, I was able to achieve a major goal as a writer: “to publish a work that writes of ‘warm happiness.’”

From now on, I will continue to pour my soul into every word and repay you with the best stories I can write. I would be happy if you would join me on this journey.
