In the light novel world, two rising stars brought a breath of fresh air to an industry swept up in a craze for otherworldly adventures.
One was Love Metronome, a story centered on pure romance, written by the beautiful high school girl Kasumi Utako.
The other was The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., about the many amusing things that happen to psychic Saiki Kusuo after he starts high school. Its overall tone is light and comedic.
However, rather than simply being a copycat writer, the author of this book seemed far more interested in stirring things up.
“There are too few characters in the Saiki K. series alone. It’ll be hard to write a hundred volumes. Why not add some more characters?”
“Yukinoshita Yukino would be great. The Saiki K. series is just missing a cool, aloof character.”
“Tsuchima Umaru... If she didn’t have the little-sister appeal, I feel like she’d lose half her popularity. Why not make her Saiki’s little sister? From now on, she can be called Saiki Mai.”
“Lady Kaguya... To be honest, the only characters I like in that series are the little sister, the maid, and the secretary. I’ll just add those three.”
Saiki Kusuo, inside the book, had no idea how many wives and little sisters his author daddy had stuffed into his story.
