A Message about Koisuru Boukun

"Koisuru Bokun"'s 7th arc is currently being serialized but recently I have been getting a lot of people asking "is this arc the last one?"
This arc isn't the only time I've been asked this but this time it has really increased a lot. I guess the reason for that is because of the subject matter.

Well I received a few questions like that on twitter so last night I made some tweets in relation to that. I'll reproduce them here.

I've been asked a lot recently about the last arc of Boukun so I thought I should answer.

2011.05.13 23:21
1: because of the flow of the arc currently being serialized I think it will be the last arc. I'm sorry I'm just announcing this now. As to why I'm just announcing it now, before I started it I tentatively planed for it to be the end but recently my stories have a tendency to just flow out, Boukun has had an especially high tendency.(sweat)

2011.05.13 23:26
2: I thought my plans might change so I left it vague. I'm sorry. But this arc has gone as planed so I think it will stay as planed.

2011.05.13 23:28
3:It's just there is a sequel and some stories I have left, and the editorial department is asking for at least one more volume, it's likely I'll write stories to read every once in a while. That's also a reason I didn't say it was the last part.(^^;)

2011.05.13 23:34
4: I have a tendency of when I start to think of finishing with a character I continue to write, it's likely I might feel like writing a longer story again... I'm sorry, I'm so wishy washy. (´▽`;) Well either way it's true this is a big climax, I informed the editorial department and received permission.

2011.05.13 23:39
5: When I think that Boukun is a character I've written since my debut work Challengers it makes me feel sad but I want to finish it off properly!!(`・ω・´) I'll work hard!! But there is an extra and a sequel so please stick with me (smile)

(reproduction ends here)
--------------------------------------

So, in other words I announced that this is the final arc of Koisuru Boukun.
Since I made those tweets last night I have received  a lot of responses, a lot more than I even expected. It kind of surprised me. Saying "thank you" and "you've done a good job" and such... I'm really grateful thank you, that people would cheer on Boukun this much makes me really happy about my work... and, even to the people who just start reading it now I'm really grateful. I cried a little(´;ω;`) really really thank you very much.

However ... there were people who received it really negatively so, I'm going to supplement that.

Umm, there is no doubt that this arc is a big climax but, there are still 2 parts left in this arc, there will be a sequel and of course I still intend to write more including them so, please don't take it so negatively!(^^;)

I'm repeating myself but, I have a tenancy that when I think of finishing with a character my stories tend to spread out and I continue to write for a long time...(´▽`;) so really honestly... I can't say this is the last part. there is much much more. I'm not that precise of a writer, so if I don't try to cut it off I won't know (sweat)
(there are things I'm clearly finished with though)

So really, sometimes I thought it might be best not to announce it as the final arc but, a long time ago when I finished "kimi ga koi ni oboreru" without saying anything I received a lot of reactions saying that they would have wanted me to say something before hand. When I wrote in volume 6 "it's the second half~" I also received a lot of people saying they wanted me to tell them earlier, A lot of my friends told me "before the end I want to know, I don't like it after it's out" So really I thought "it's better to say something before hand I have to say something"
In the relationship between these two, this last part was absolutely the climax.

So well, I wrote a lot but, after this arc I intend to write more Boukun! They won't become the main characters in your liked side character's story (smile)
(I intend to properly collect that so I intend to write that too)

So everyone, please stay with Boukun a little longer!
Just a little longer with the sequel extra story including them... I'll be happy if you read it.
Thank you very much(^^*)

  2. Hinako really love you very much, thank you for what you've done, I am glad that you're going to do more work of Koisuru Bokun although I regret that they are oneshots.

    I expected it to be longer, but well, there's nothing to do. I really appreciate all the moments of happiness that you gave me this manga.

    I will always be waiting for more of your works, but definitely Morinaga and Sempai, play an irreplaceable role in my heart, thank you very much for bringing them to life.

    Greetings from the beautiful country of Venezuela.

  10. Hinako, first of all I thank you for the BEST yaoi manga you've read in my life for me and all your fans that you are the best mangaka, your stories are beautiful out of the ordinary, funny and beautifully designed, more beautiful than Ayano Yamane I like how you draw the love scenes is not only sex but is also the feeling in the characters the more sweet and tender kisses.
    I really like anime and manga, shojo, shonen and yaoi, but I never had much desired obsessed and manga, I'm always attentive to your work.
    KSB love and I'd be lying if I said I'm not sad, not yaoi manga'll find a more complete and beautiful as KSB, no pageant will be your replacement, you're the best, the goddess of yaoi, your works are unique, unparalleled .
    I hope more eager about these two, sempai is the uke more sexy and beautiful and Morinaga seen seme perfect.

  11. Stumbled upon the news just today and I must admit that I'm kinda sad. It was my very first manga and I've never been so passionate about a fictional story before.
    I love the art, the characters (they seem so natural and adorable), the humour (it's not easy to make me laugh), the "special scenes" hehe and all the emotion and love in it. I read every chapter full of excitement and with a throbbing heart - never been that absorbed by anything :)

    All in all I just hope that KSB'll continue nonetheless ;) and I just have to say: arigatou gozaimasu. Thank you very much, sensei, for this perfect! story. I'm eager to see your next works.


    Best regards from Germany
