To my Dearest Tomodachi.

＊Afterwards＊

{6 MONTHS IN THE MAKING}

_(:3 」∠)_
Hello everyone! I'm Angela Marī, also known as Amari_Neko; and this is my first ever web-novel on Wattpad. Also—thanks for reading my light novel, I appreciate every bit you took to read it!
Honestly, I love writing and drawing. So—why not do a light novel to test out my writing skills? From the top of this page, yes, it did took 6 months for me to write this story. Also drawing a few illustrations in some chapters were a bit time consuming(*'∇｀*)
(plus I have school, which takes most of my time really. I'll continue working hard though!)

However, I love drawing in general, so I'll happily cramp my hand (for hours) just to draw cute girls!
(I tried to create a cell shaded illustration for the theme of this story. How bright and colorful the colors show emotion through the characters)

Here's some background about why I wrote this story:
To my Dearest Tomodachi. was inspired by one of my highly anticipated anime movies to watch so far: Liz to Aoi Tori/Liz and the Blue Bird. I'm always a fan of slice of life, high school, and romance stories. Sound Euphonium was one I enjoyed a lot. Kyoto Animation is my absolute favorite studio when it comes to their shows. When I saw the trailer for "Liz to Aoi Tori", I freaked out and decided: Why not create a story inspired by it?
(Yes—this story is a Yuri. Even the two main characters were inspired by Nozomi and Mizore from Sound Euphonium) o(^_-)O
So excited when the movie comes to selected American theaters soon!

※Sneak Peak! [The next project will be focusing on tragic, mystery, and a bit of romance—between a boy and girl. How desperate you need someone, a secret that would turn the tides, how far will they go—for love?]
Look forward to "Once the Tide Goes out, I will Disappear." {NEW PROJECT} next year for more!

◎Thanks to SanchezA15 for inspiring me to write my own story on Wattpad. I never knew this existed till this year! Read her story "Young love" for some more high school romance goodies!

For a bonus! I'll give a post-ending conclusion:

After Epilogue:

- Aiko went to Tokyo for college. Sooner or later, she visited Okayama to meet up with Misaki. The both of them visited the beach where Misaki's mother took her and Shou when they were young. (CH. 4)
- Misaki of course decided to take swimming as her official career. Maybe entering the olympics? Eventually met up with Aiko on a trip to the same beach, her mother took her when she was young.
- Kasumi went on with her music career back in Okayama.
-Chinatsu continued playing the clarinet, participating the music club every day she can. She also met new friends, mostly underclassmens. She still text her upperclassmens frequently since they graduated, as she misses them very much.
- The red fox: Kyou joined the track and field team and is still causing mischief in the yearbook club.
- Misaki's little brother Shou, decides to learn about becoming a lifeguard.
- Yuuma started to work for his father's business in Okinawa.
- Hotaru decides to move somewhere outside of Japan for her own sports career. More likely has taken up a swimming career.
