A Chance of Happiness

Bullied, outcast, and chased by rumors throughout junior high, the seemingly apathetic Jin Rento prepares to start his high school life the same way he started all his prior experiences: with zero expectations. However, even with zero expectations the unexpected can take anyone by surprise. When the popular and flamboyant Mina Yuriko strikes up a conversation with Chiyofumi High’s new social outcast, the two come to realize that there’s far more to each other than either of them could have ever imagined. Beneath the layers that each of us put on everyday, comes a story of a boy who attempts to come to terms with and understand the rushing waves of unfamiliar emotions he’s starting to feel. Including the most complex one of all: Happiness.

This story will follow: [Present-Day - Teenage Love] for the subplots/themes.

Hajimemashite! A Chance of Happiness is my first work in progress light novel that will be submitted to the MAL X Honeyfeed 2023 Writing Contest. First of all, thank you for stopping by, I do hope you enjoy the read and all chapters to come.

Now with that out of the way, let me highlight some of the formatting specifics for this novel:
- When you see double spaces, we've moved to a new scene!
- When you see parentheticals (Text), that indicates alternative text!(Usually for when two or more people are speaking at the same time or specific speech notes)
- When you see italics, that means there is OS(Off-Screen) Dialogue!(Usually for text messages or read items)

I know this wasn't necessary but I hope it improves you're reading experience!
