Love Is Hard in the Science-Fiction Tokusatsu World

The novel will go premium on August 16. Thank you all for sticking with me~

I'm Qiben, an ordinary person with a clear sense of who I am. I look forward to spending my life with every boyfriend I have, but unfortunately, they're all either criminals or victims who die.

After going through countless failed relationships, I finally decided to find a man who was unlikely to get arrested or become a victim. When my acquaintances heard about it, they all recommended the people they thought were best suited for me.

From a pediatrician who often trips on flat ground, to a fantasy novelist wielding a holy sword, to a hard-boiled detective from Fuuto... and even eager volunteers like a bandage enthusiast and a manga artist from Morioh.

There were too many people, so in the end we held a meet-and-greet at a cafe in Beika.

Everyone got to know one another, and the conversation went pretty well.

But just as it was ending, I realized this wasn't a Kamen Rider gathering, nor a get-together for espers and Stand users. It was a matchmaking event centered around me.

Looking at the successful childhood-friend couples around me, I finally understood.

"Akemi, will you go out with me?"

At that moment, the blond childhood friend who believed in their childhood promise crushed the teacup he was washing with a crack.

*Reader's notes:

First-person narration mixed with an outside perspective.

The tokusatsu references only involve Kamen Rider.

People of any gender can have a crush on the female lead.

Marukawa Publishing appears, but it is only mentioned by name and has little impact.

The cover and character designs are from a Picrew creator who allows commercial use and modification.

Theme: Everyone needs at least one goal in life. The road ahead may be rough, but if you keep going, you'll shine.
