Starting Friday, October 10th: Serialization of the full-length novel 'Love of the Cotton Rose' begins.

My fingertips were trembling.
I flipped through the magazine I bought at the bookstore right there on a nearby bench. I went back and forth many times, found the answer, and let out a long sigh...

My name was not there.

The work I desperately wrote during spring break, despite having no time, didn't even pass the first round of selection this time. The pass rate was far lower than I had imagined, and honestly, I was surprised.

Even though it wasn't chosen, I would like someone to read the works that were born from sacrificing my sleep, if possible.

There are some works I intend to rewrite with the intention of tearing them apart and submitting them to other public competitions, but for this work, I strongly felt from the moment I was writing it that I wanted someone to read it right away.
I thought it might be a theme that the people around me would enjoy.

That is why I decided to publish this work on note instead of submitting it to a public competition.

Since I will be posting it while making small revisions, it might take some time. For now, I plan to publish the prologue on Friday, October 10th at 8:00 AM, and then post the rest in order over the following one to two weeks.

The title is 'Love of the Cotton Rose' (Suifuyo no Koi).
Abbreviated as '#Suiren'.

I am debating whether to serialize it on note or TALES.
I am currently running a poll, so I would be very happy if you could click and vote!
