Mairēji Mai Raifu (Paperback Bunko)

The character's cool exterior hides deep loneliness — I wonder what inspired this choice and how it was developed throughout the story.

The book paints a pretty stark picture of the hustle and burnout, but I’m curious whether the author intended to challenge readers' views on work and success.

The way media and technology are woven into the narrative adds layers but also makes it feel very current — was that a deliberate commentary on our times?
