[Pre-release Reprint Decided!] Latest Light Novel from Anime/Drama Author: 'Komorie Hina Won't Stop!', a New Sensation Local Non-Stop Comedy!

GA Bunko, a light novel label from SB Creative Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hideo Kizaki), will publish 'Komorie Hina Won't Stop!', the latest work by Nanigashi Shima, the author of the critically acclaimed GA Bunko Grand Prize winner 'You and the Transparent Night, and I Who Loved You Invisibly,' which was adapted into an anime and drama. Following an enthusiastic response immediately after its information disclosure, an exceptional 'pre-release reprint' has been decided. The defining feature of this work is its 'non-stop comedy,' which begins with a 'body-swapping' mishap between the protagonist and heroine, offering a breakneck pace. However, it doesn't stop there; amidst the chaotic antics, it is packed with school youth elements such as an intense 'student council election,' a unified effort in the 'High School Rocket Championship,' and a heartfelt 'fireworks festival.' ■ A Furious Local Comedy Featuring Kokura Racecourse, Sukesan Udon, and a Rocket Launcher!? The story is set in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and features numerous real famous spots and specialties of the region, including 'Kokura Racecourse,' the 'Sukesan Udon' that has become a hot topic online, and the sadly closed 'Space World.' Furthermore, intense words like 'rocket launcher' (unique to the land of Shura?) also appear, unfolding a story of relentless laughter and slapstick. ■ Brilliant Recommendation Comments Arrive from Prominent Figures, Including Celebrities Native to Kitakyushu! To commemorate the release of this work, we have received passionate recommendation comments from individuals connected to Kitakyushu City, the setting of the story, as well as distinguished figures active at the forefront of various fields. * Gunpyi (Comedian, Haru to Hikōki) This city, where the three major public gambling facilities—horse racing, bicycle racing, and boat racing—converge. You can write a school youth novel set in Kitakyushu City, can't you!? Although parts of it are too Kitakyushu. And a rocket launcher appears in the story about making a rocket!! A heroine who wants to revive Space World is unprecedented!! * Shun Hamanaka (Jockey) Although the opening sections rather disparaged my hometown, Kokura, upon finishing the book, I felt a deep love for Kokura. The plot moves so fast, it's like riding a horse in a race—very thrilling. A masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the finish line! * Kaori Maeda (Voice Actor) Everyone's hometown is packed into this. It's truly amazing!! Kitakyushu, I think people have various images of this city, but its entertainment-filled aspects are very attractive. Author Nanigashi Shima writes with genuine love for Kitakyushu. 'Komorie Hina Won't Stop!' is a book that is simply fast-paced, funny, and gives you energy as you read. While laughing, I was reminded of the atmosphere and scents of my beloved hometown, Kitakyushu, more than I could have imagined, and I was deeply moved by the straightforward strength of Hina and Taichi. Those who read this book will surely feel revitalized! It's a story that gently touches the hearts of everyone who has a hometown, not just Kitakyushu. * Shirou Shiratori (Light Novel Author) Finally, a romantic comedy from an author with undeniable writing skill. This series holds the promise of becoming a mega-hit, transcending the light novel genre. GA Bunko still has plenty of potential! * Kazuma Miki (Editor) I was quite bewildered by a novel set in 'Shura no Kuni' (Land of Strife) Kitakyushu, featuring horse racing, student council elections, Space World reconstruction, and the chaotic setting of 'body-swapping'… However, as I read on, the charm of the heroine, Komorie Hina, who races through this chaotic world, truly shone through! While it might seem like her solo story… it even includes elements that will make you cry by the end. Please enjoy this 'all-you-can-eat light novel'! * Sakuna Yuki (VTuber) I want to go to Kitakyushuーーーー!!!! That was the first thought that came to mind after finishing the book. I want to eat Sukesan Udon! I want to hold a betting ticket at Kokura Racecourse without fully understanding what's going on!! I want to nibble on a chocolate banana while feeling the night breeze in Mojiko!! This novel is packed with such mysterious charm… Just by reading it, I felt as if the air of a city I've never visited entered my lungs. ■ A Special PV Packed with the Work's Appeal is Also Available!
