It's a me. I'm an aspiring light novel writer hoping to one day see my works in anime form. I hope that my works at least brighten up your day and give you something to look forward to.

And Volume 2 is over. To be honest, I king of got Talentless Nana vibes from Miyazaki's speech. I definitely think Volume 2 was a bit better than Volume 1 as it helped flesh out the world a bit more. Looks like Volume 3 will be focused around getting a job, though what job remains to be seen.

For early theories, a salary company seems like my top choice, but since it involves pills, maybe it could be a restaurant. Anyway, looking forward to Volume 3.

Author's Commentary #113:

Time to talk about Chapter 113: Reika's bluff.
In case you didn't already hate Zerin, this chapter gives you far more reason to hate her. She really is a corrupt fanatic and easily one of my most hated characters across all my works. Heck, I think she'd easily be in the top 5 for the characters in my works I hate the most. In this series though, she's easily in the top 3 for the most hated characters. But enough about her, let's talk more about Segolina Rouge, now that she's properly appeared in the story.

セゴリーナ・ルージュ (Segolina Rouge) is how her name is spelled in katakana. She is half French and half Japanese. If you've seen Reika's art in the collage in the remake's gallery, her hairstyle is actually similar to that of Segolina's. I've never uploaded any art of Segolina, but that will likely change soon.

Her birthday is July 14th, which is also Bastille day.

Her favorite food is profiterole, aka cream puffs.

Now that Mimi and Matcha are back, things are looking much brighter at Ryokoma. One big thing I wanted to establish in the remake was Rika and Serika's relationship. In Escape Witch, Rika's one of the few people Serika's comfortable asking for life advice. I wanted to establish why she's so trusting of Rika here in the remake, since I didn't really do that in the original.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #112:

Time to talk about Chapter 112: Serika and Bianka.
Serika's continuing to get adjusted to the outside world. This time, she meets Bianka and Mochi. I won't spoil anything, but I will say this scene hits differently if you've read the Escape Witch remake. Naturally, Escape Witch will have a similar feel if read after reading this. Though for this story, it's nothing but wholesome bonding as Serika gets acquainted with Bianka and Mochi.

As for Reika's mentor, Segolina Rouge, she's actually a character that originated in Mystery ghost foresight. I never fully fleshed out her character though, as I stopped writing Mystery ghost, though considering a rewrite of said novel is looking more and more likely, it's probable her character will properly be fleshed out there.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #111:

Time to talk about Chapter 111: Serika Midoriya.
This was originally planned to be two separate chapters, but I decided to merge them together. This is easily my favorite arc in the series as it focuses on one of my favorite characters, Serika Midoriya. Serika is indeed the final main protagonist from Escape Witch. If you've kept up with my commentaries, you might have noticed I never did a bio for her. That was because I was waiting for this chapter. So without further ado, here's Serika's bio.

緑谷芹佳 (Midoriya Serika) is how her name is spelled in kanji. Her first name, 芹佳, means "celery" and "beautiful" while 緑谷 means "green" and "valley", which is fitting since Serika has green hair. It's also a reference to Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia. As for her original name, Mao. It was spelled 眞絃 in kanji and means "genuine" and "string".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

Her birthday is August 31st. I actually chose this date at random, so there isn't much significance behind why that's her birthday. Though it is worth mentioning that her birthday is a day before Ruchi Ookuma's.

Her favorite food is takoyaki as revealed in this chapter.

Since Serika is my favorite character, I really enjoyed writing the chapters featuring her. In fact, I dare say the Serika arc is my favorite arc in the entire series, mainly due to how wholesome it is. It was in the original, and I'm happy to say that it retains all the charm it had there and then some. I hope you're looking forward to it. And speaking of which, the remake is slowly approaching it's end. I feel it will end in the latter half of August, with how many chapters there are left. It certainly has been a journey, but the remake is slowly reaching it's end. It's possible I might add in one more new arc, but even then, I still feel it will end in August. It's hard to believe, but the series is almost done. Thanks to everyone that's been reading up to this point, and I hope you're looking forward to seeing how the story ends.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #110:

Time to talk about Chapter 110: Turning point.
Things are certainly starting to go in Rika's favor. The Takedas have been exposed, Rebelle's starting to panic, and Kyoko got what was coming to her. Now just like Reika said, all that's left to do is get Mao on her feet and continue exposing Ookuma's cronies.

As for why Ookuma even had Rebelle capture all that damning footage in the first place, insurance. She wanted to have leverage over everyone should they decide to betray her. Naturally, only her and Rebelle knew of this. As such, if someone in Illumous were to find out, things could go south for Rebelle quite quickly as she'd easily fall under the most suspicion for Ookuma's disappearance.

Speaking of things looking up, the next few chapters will be some of my favorites in the entire series. As for why, it's because they'll focus on a certain character.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

And Bear goes down. Guess he couldn't tank the voltage after all. Ironically, I wonder if bear spray would have been an effective weapon to use against him. Ko definitely was the MVP swiping the stun gun, and it looks like the group is about to make their escape. But if I know anything, it's honestly 50/50 whether they escape flawlessly.

Author's Commentary #51:

Time to talk about Chapter 51: Tetsuka's homecoming.
As promised, here's a nice little chapter showing Tetsuka returning to the mansion. I honestly just wanted to show her bonding with Harumi which is why I had the chapter occur now.

As for Madoka and co, they'll be pursuing Eriza who appears to have stowed away on a Casino cruise ship bound for London. I'm sure that alone hints at what the next arc will be. As such, it might take a bit longer than usual for this next arc to come out, as I'm likely to extend the arc compared to it's original counterpart in order to make it more enjoyable. I hope you're looking forward to it.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Escape:Witch [Remake]

Chapter:51

Author's Commentary #109:

Time to talk about Chapter 109: ILU's investigation.
In this chapter, we finally get a proper look at the scumbag, Akuma Ookuma. Some of the other members of the Illumous council are also revealed like Frank Lingua, whose name is a pun on "lingua franca". But let's give some bios for Akuma and Engetsu.

柴原円月 (Shibawara Engetsu) is how Engetsu's name is spelled in kanji. 円月 means "yen" and "moon".

His birthday is October 13th. I chose the date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why that day is his birthday.

His favorite food is spicy gyoza.

Engetsu is actually both Yuugen's older brother and Honoka's father, meaning he's also Rika's uncle. He had a more prominent role in the original, but since I restructured things in the remake, his role here got reduced. This will likely be his only appearance in the story.

大熊悪魔 (Ookuma Akuma) is how Akuma's name is spelled in kanji. 悪魔 means "evil demon".
(If I made any mistakes, feel free to correct me).

His birthday is December 13th. I chose the date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this day is his birthday.

His favorite food is asparagus.

As shown a few chapters ago, Akuma is a horrible parent, and the reason Ruchi turned out the way she did. Though he's actually committed other heinous atrocities throughout his long life. One was inhumanely torturing Fubuki Dakota and doing unspeakable things to break her will. Sadly, he won't be dealt with in this series, but I can guarantee that he will get what's coming to him in Escape Witch.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Today is the one year anniversary of the series. As such, I feel now is the perfect time to announce that this series will be getting a massive rewrite. It will probably be a while before it happens, but it is confirmed. I hope you look forward to it.

So I never gave the character's birthdays before, but today that's going to change. Here are the birthdays for the four main characters in the series.
Mukuro's birthday is June 30th.
Astrid's birthday is August 29th.
Sven's birthday is September 16th.
And Leona's birthday is July 28th, which is also the day the first chapter of the series was published. Happy birthday to both Leona, and this series.

To celebrate the series' one year anniversary, I decided to write a special chapter. Obviously, S-Infinity 96 is a parody of F-Zero 99. I hope you enjoy seeing Leona and co again.

Author's Commentary #50:

Time to talk about Chapter 50: Reunion.
Yuni has finally reunited with her cousins Nika and Miku. It turns out Miku was also the famous Ewetuber, Kumi all along.

二川二花 (Futagawa Nika) is how Nika's name is written in kanji. 二花 means "two" and flower". 二川三久 (Futagawa Miku) is how Miku's name is spelled in kanji. 三久 means "three" and "ancient". As for her stage name, Kumi, it's 久三, which is actually just her name spelled backwards, but has the same meaning as her given name.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

Their birthday is March 3rd, just like Kasumi.

Since I'm not merging the remake with Agony! or the eventual rewrite of it, I decided to have Yuni reunite with Nika and Kumi now. There's also a hint that the final arc will be drastically different from it's original counterpart.

If you read Spice of life, you'll know how different the triplets have become from when they were young. For those who don't know, back then, the triplets used to look identical and all think the same, with the exception of Kasumi who'd only reluctantly end her sisters' sentences. Speaking of Ryokoma, Kumi actually has still been going there, but nobody recognizes her due to how drasticly both her appearance and personality have changed.

As for the series, it will probably go on break again until the next arc is finished, though I might release one more chapter focusing on Tetsuka before that, so look forward to it.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Escape:Witch [Remake]

Chapter:50

Jul 28, 2024

Author's Commentary #108:

Time to talk about Chapter 108: Reika's ally.
If we don't count bonus chapters, the remake has now surpassed the original in terms of chapter count. Even including the bonus chapters, I'm sure the remake will eventually surpass the original in chapter count there as well. As for the chapter, it introduces Reika's trusted partner, Mutsumi Nakajima. Mutsumi is another Escape Witch character that appears here, though unlike in Escape Witch, her role will be much more minor here.

中嶋六実 (Nakajima Mutsumi) is how her nae is spelled in kanji. 六実 means "six" and "sincerity" while 中嶋 means "inside" and "island".
(If I made any mistakes with the translation, feel free to correct me).

Her birthday is June 27th. There isn't much meaning behind the date, though the date 6/27 could reference the fact that Mutsumi's name means "six" and that she is 27 when Escape Witch takes place. In this story, she's only 21.

Her favorite food is coffee cake.

In the original, I first focused on Mao and then did a flashback of what happened while she was getting used to her new environment. Here, I decided to jump around and have everything occur chronologically. I feel the change is better narratively and makes the story flow better.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
