Announcement From Yuki Akim
“To everyone who’s been waiting for me…
I’m finally back.
And today, I’m officially announcing my new series:
LOST IN PARADISE — 失楽の楽園
Before anything else… I want to talk about Strange Fake.
A lot of people think it was cancelled after release, but the truth is…
it was never officially published.
It was still in development.
I had ideas, concepts, early drafts, character designs, and future arcs planned out, but deep down I realized the story wasn’t becoming what I truly wanted it to be.
So instead of forcing it forward, I stopped.
For the past month, I disappeared completely to focus on improving as a writer and rebuilding my ideas from scratch.
I rewrote stories endlessly. Studied Japanese mythology and the Heian era. Created a new power system. Redesigned characters over and over. And spent countless nights planning the world, themes, fights, and emotional moments for one single project.
That project became:
LOST IN PARADISE.
This is the darkest, most emotional, and most ambitious story I’ve ever worked on.
A story about grief. Memory. Human desire. And a paradise that should never have existed.
I poured everything into this series.
The atmosphere. The worldbuilding. The characters. The pain. The action. The tragedy.
Every chapter is meant to feel cinematic. Every arc changes the story permanently.
I genuinely believe this will become my defining work as an author.
Thank you for waiting for me.
The journey begins soon.
