OreShura: Volume 1 Afterword
Afterword[edit]
A strong "childhood friend."
In ancient and modern romantic comedies, this formula was particularly welcomed. In this case, the childhood friend symbolizes the “ordinary, everyday life.” When a beautiful maiden possessing a “secret” suddenly appears, the protagonist’s everyday life is wrecked apart. Although the childhood friend is often involved in the incidents, she is essentially excluded from the inside of the circle. When the protagonist is toyed around by the enigmatic maiden, the childhood friend is still strong enough to resolutely wait for the main character to eventually return.
-- Originally, this was not an "ideal" romantic comedy.
Rather, it is a "tremendously ideal" love comedy.
The premise of “having a girlfriend” is impossible.
Like all romantic comedies, particularly in the field of light novels, the protagonist almost never has a girlfriend. This is of course, because if there had been a girlfriend, the romantic comedy would have been nonexistent. The story would not be able to expand, and most likely become: “although the heroine loved him, the protagonist was very slow and never noticed” kind of story. Repeatedly, the two would sometimes grow closer, but sometimes, they would also miss the circumstances.
-- Originally, this wasn’t an "orthodox" romantic comedy.
But rather, it was an “exceptionally orthodox” romantic comedy.
Tremendously ideal.
Exceptionally orthodox.
Why is the title, “My Girlfriend and Childhood Friend Fight Too Much?" It is based on the above reasons.
While I was working on the next issue of my debut work (踊る星降るレネシクル), I was preparing for a new series – in this kind of predicament, it was only completed thanks to everyone from both 责编サト, and GA Bunko, along with the keen criticism of M·T-sensei, and the illustrator, LLO-sensei. I can't thank you enough for all your kindness you have given to my work.
Well, the story comes to stop here.
To all the readers, thank you for accompanying me this entire way up until now.
