Afterword
I hope you enjoyed the book. Personally, Fevered Km left a big impression on me. I’m so glad I was able to get it published. What left such an impression? One certain thing:
How many kissing scenes it has!
Before I wrote Fevered Kiss, I had a really hard time with love scenes of any kind, including kissing scenes. Just writing a little kissing scene was a huge deal for me. If I had to wnte an actual love scene, I freaked out, and usually couldn’t finish the story.
So whenever my editor, Maeda-san, would ask me to put in more love scenes, I would laugh and try to change the subject. Like a vampire shying away from the light, I tried to avoid the love scenes.
But one day, I realized that I couldn’t keep going on like that— not if I was a Boy’s Love writer! After all, what would Boy’s Love be without love? Just like okonomiyaki isn’t okonomiyaki without the cabbage! So I decided to wnte a story full of love scenes!
And that’s how Fevered Kiss was bom.
After all, kissing is an important part of love scenes' I even put the word “kiss” in the title! No one could stop me! I needed to write about kissing! Kissing, kissing, tons of kissing' Yahoo1
And so I started writing, and finally, I could wnte kissing scencs without making a iuss But I still had trouble with the sex scenes, so I made sure to write a lot of those in the story Hold Me Tighter "And now, I can wnte sex scenes just fine, too.
So, that’s how this book came about. I hope you all liked it
Come to think of it, this is also my first novel where both protagonists were in college. I tncd to remember my own college days for inspiration, but I went to class in jeans and a t-shirt, and I
snored through all my classes. There’s nothing inspirational about that My memories were of no use, so I just laughed to myself.
(But girls shouldn't snore That’s no good Wait, Kuga, that is not the only point to make fun of)
Anyway, we’ve reached the end here. My thanks to everyone who worked on this, including my editor, Maeda-san, who always puts up with me. I’m sorry I always get nervous and talk so fast when we have meetings.
Much gratitude must go to Taishi Zaou, who drew the illustrations. Thanks so much for taking the job even though you’re so busy The pictures are so lovely and erotic.
Thanks to all my family for putting up with me, too.
And lastly, thanks to everyone who read this book. I can’t thank you all enough. I’m going to work my hardest to keep on writing books for you to enjoy.
If any of you have read the Afterword before the actual story, I hope my weirdness didn’t turn you off. There’s no strange asides in which the author yells at herself in the actual story.
Stay well!
