[Vol 1] The Secret Life Of An Honor Student Afterward

Afterward
 

Hello to all my readers. This is Mitsuki Kurage.

This work, 『Yuutousei no Ura no Kao』 (The Secret Life of an Honor Student), is a revised version of the one serialized on Shousetsuka ni Narou and Kakuyomu. In preparation for the print edition, I’ve also added new, original scenes, so I believe even those who have read the web version will be able to enjoy it anew.

I originally wrote this story as a pure love romantic comedy. Their meeting and the start of their relationship may be impure, but the feelings they develop are genuine—and I think that makes it pure love in its own way.

An honor student who hides the face of a ura-aka girl—Mamiya Yuu. And the protagonist who becomes entangled in her secret—a woman-wary boy, Aisaka Akito. Just where will their impure yet pure love lead them?

I can already picture Akito being toyed with by Yuu’s selfish whims, but I hope he does his best. That said, I’d also like to see Akito fight back once in a while. After all, they say the one being loved holds the upper hand in romance… though Yuu still seems to have the advantage either way. Well, that’s just how it is.

Even so, I never imagined that an idea that came to me in the middle of the night would one day become a book and reach readers like you. It really pays to jot down your ideas as memos—forgetting them after waking up is an everyday occurrence for me…

Now then, from here on are my words of gratitude.

To my editor—thank you for pulling this story out from the vast sea of the web and safely guiding it to publication. When we were working together, I was still before my debut and didn’t know left from right, but I’m sure I’ll continue to cause you some trouble in the future as well. Please continue to take care of me.

To KR-ki (kuroki) sensei—thank you so much for drawing Yuu, Akito, and the other characters so adorably and full of charm. Your illustrations went far beyond what I had imagined, and I’m deeply grateful for that. I’ll continue to do my best so that my writing doesn’t lose to the brilliance of your artwork. I look forward to working with you again.

To everyone at GA Bunko, the proofreading team, all those involved in the production of this work, the readers who picked up this book, and those who have supported me since the web version—thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who had a hand in this book. Truly, thank you so much!

I look forward to the day we can meet again.

The Secret Life Of An Honor Student

Type: Light Novel (JP) Description: “If you keep my secret account hidden, I’ll do something good for you, okay?” “Ninety percent impure, ten percent pure love” — that was the beginning of a secret relationship just between the two of us. “If you promise not to tell, I’ll make sure you have a good time.” Aisaka Akito happened to discover that Mamiya Yuu, the model honor student who sat next to him, was actually a “secret account girl.” To keep his mouth shut, she made him tag along as her photographer for those hidden account photos. “Hey… let’s do something even crazier.” Their shoots started pushing into things they could never tell anyone about. Confused yet unable to resist, Akito found himself spending more and more time alone with her—meeting in secret, taking pictures, walking home together after detours. Each moment stacked upon the next, slowly revealing glimpses of her real self. A relationship that began as an impu...

[Vol 2] The Secret Life Of An Honor Student Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Maybe you’re just sexually frustrated   [Mamiya's POV]   "──Would you go out with me, Mamiya-chan?" During lunch break behind the gymnasium, I was being confessed to by a second-year senpai who wore a refreshing smile. I had no recollection of the name Shinohara Shinya, nor had I ever received any kind of approach from him before. As far as I was aware, this was our first time meeting. Whether I liked or disliked him was beside the point. "Um… Shinohara-senpai. I'm sorry. Right now, I don't intend to date anyone." "Does that mean you dislike me?" "No. In the first place, I don't know you well enough to dislike you, Shinohara-senpai. And the same goes the other way around. I can't think of any reason why you would say you like me." When I clearly expressed my intention to refuse, he let out a small sigh and said, "Man, this is rou...

[Vol 1] The Secret Life Of An Honor Student Prologue

Prologue   "Ah, you can see it now, right?" "...I can’t see anything." "Liar. I made sure you could. No need to hide it. More importantly... how is it? Your thoughts after seeing a girl’s panties?” “I want to stop this right now.” "Then you’d better hurry up and take the picture." Even without looking, her mischievous tone made it clear she was smiling. It frustrated me, like she was reading my mind, and at the same time, the fact that she was allowing me to keep staring made me feel embarrassed. The thought that I’d have to deal with these mixed-up feelings from now on made me feel endlessly heavy inside. The afternoon sunlight, already tilting, streamed into the classroom. The only people in the room were me and a girl—Mamiya Yuu, in her school uniform. Mamiya was sitting on top of a desk, pinching the hem of her black pleated skirt, which she’d shortened ...
