It was the first time they were so emotional while reading a book. Especially for people who don't like reading books at first. When they finished reading the manga, they finally knew how beautiful the manga story was.

When they read the manga "Your Name". They feel happy when they see the beautiful pictures and stories in the manga.

But not only feel happy, they also experience sadness while reading manga. They were sad to the point of tears, especially when they saw the last page of the manga "Your Name".

Many of them had finished reading the manga feeling empty. It was as if they had lost something precious in their life.

The good times when they read manga...

It was thrilling to see Taki and Mitsuha looking for each other's whereabouts...

And while reading the last page of the manga, when the adult version of Taki and Mitsuha met on the bridge...

They were such fun moments, and want those moments to continue.

But the moment had to end because the manga chapters they had read had run out.

It was then that everyone who had read, for the first time, had the same desire.

They want more! More manga chapters! They are not satisfied with the ending of "Your Name" And want to know the continuation of the manga story!

So after finishing reading the manga. Many of them are planning to contact the author of the manga "Your Name"!

How did they know who the manga author was?

The answer is on the back page of the manga, they see the name of the author and where to sell the manga.

Your Name by Ren Kazuma

Monstadt - Happy Heaven Bookstore :)

---

Happy Heaven bookstore.

On the shop front. Right now there were a lot of people waiting for the bookstore to open.

Many of them were people who had read the manga "Your Name", and the rest were interested in joining the queue because of the rumors about the manga that were popular recently.

Today is still early, around 7 am.

Usually the Happy Heaven bookstore would open at this hour. But right now the shop was still closed, and a large crowd of people waiting were upset.

Many of them want to meet manga writers! And there are also people who want to buy manga!

Right now there were a lot of noisy people in front of the shop.

"Hey, is this shop on holiday?"

"No, today is not a shop holiday."

"Perhaps the shop owner is unwell and has decided to temporarily close?"

"Ehh! So we can't buy manga today?"

"Damn it! I've been waiting here for 1 hour!"

"Ughh! Me too! I've even been here since 6 am!"

Many of the crowd were dissatisfied because the bookstore had not yet opened. Some of them were already wondering whether they should just leave now or not.

But the crowd stopped talking when they saw the bookstore door open, and a man came out of the store.

The man was tall, had short black hair, sharp blue eyes, fair skin and a handsome face.

That man is Ren. Even though he was only 17 years old, he looked like a 20 year old man.

He gave off a cold vibe and looked intimidating with his piercing gaze that scanned the crowd. Many of the crowd of men who originally wanted to complain about the delay in opening the shop were silent at this time, they didn't dare complain to Ren who came out of the shop.

As for the female crowd? They were dazed when they saw Ren's handsome face, and fell silent like the rest of the crowd.

"""....."""

Seeing the silent crowd in front of his shop. Ren's face softened and he smiled towards the crowd. "Sorry, I'm late opening the shop. Please enter slowly for those of you who want to buy books."

"""....."" The crowd nodded.

They forgot their discontent, because the bookstore they had been waiting for had finally opened! However the women in the crowd blushed when they saw the smile on his handsome face.

Especially a beautiful girl with hair tied in a twintail and wearing a white dress with the symbol of the Church of Favonius.

"I-Is he the writer manga, the rumored Ren Kazuma? S-So handsome!"

That beautiful girl is Barbara Pegg! She's been waiting already for the shop to open from 6am!

Barbara's goal in coming to the bookstore is to meet a manga writer named Ren Kazuma!

It had been a few days since she had finished reading the manga "Your Name". She originally wanted to go to the bookstore sooner to meet Ren Kazuma.

But she had a lot of work to finish first at the church. So it was only now that she had the free time to go meet him at the bookstore.

And right now she was so happy because she finally got to meet the person she wanted to meet!

She originally planned to ask Ren Kazuma the continuation of "Your Name" story.

But right now she was feeling nervous. She checked her own appearance and saw if she was looking good or not.

"O-Okay you already look beautiful like Barbara's idol. Un! No need to be nervous!" Barbara said to herself, then she started to go inside Happy Heaven's Bookstore.

While Barbara meets her favorite author at the bookstore.

In the office of the Knight of Favonius. Jean was currently relaxing after finishing the pile of documents that had piled up from the past few days.

She was in a good mood today, as she didn't have to deal with piles of paperwork as usual.

She took a sip of tea while looking out the window. "A beautiful morning..."

*Tap* 2×

"Enter." Jean said as she looked towards the door.

"Good morning Jean."

"Morning Lisa. Is there an important matter that you come to my office so early in the morning?"

"Aww~ Jean you think I only visit if there is an important matter?"

Jean rolled her eyes as she sat in her work chair. "Yes of course."

Hm... Jean is not fun~" Lisa pretended to pout and slowly walked over looking at the ornaments inside Jean's office.

Jean who saw her friend who was looking at the ornaments sighed and said. "So what's the matter?"

Jean knew Lisa must have come to see her because she wanted to talk about something important. She wondered what important thing? Untill that the bookworm who rarely came out of the Knight of Favonius library came to see her.

Lisa who heard Jean's question smiled and slowly sat down on the sofa.

"Jean, have you read any popular manga lately?" Lisa asked with a playful smile.

Jean frowned when she saw her friend's smile. "Manga? I've heard about manga from the Monstadt document report. I heard it's a popular storybook, right?"

"Yes! It's called manga because the way it's written is different from other types of books." Lisa said excitedly.

"Different? Isn't this just an ordinary novel?"

"No! This isn't just a novel, don't equate a manga masterpiece with an ordinary novel." Lisa corrected her in a serious tone, as if she not accepted manga as being called an ordinary novel.

"O-Okay, sorry."

Jean subconsciously apologized for calling the manga a mediocre novel. She didn't know why Lisa had such a scary smile when she referred to manga as an ordinary novel.

Although she has a higher position than Lisa in the Knight of Favonius. She didn't want to make Lisa angry because she knew when Lisa was angry it was scary.

Jean shuddered as she recalled the memories of making Lisa angry in the past.

"Yeah, that's fine. So are you interested in reading it?" Asked Lisa whose smile had returned to normal.

"Reading manga? No, umm..."

Jean wants said that she wasn't interested in reading manga, but when she saw Lisa's smile started to get scary...

"Um Yes. I'm interested in reading it." Jean said with a sigh.

"Good! If you're interested, I can lend you the manga I bought!"

Lisa gives a manga to Jean.

"So this is a manga? The performance looks really good."

Jean was mesmerized when she saw the manga's cover which looked beautiful and colorful. She saw a manga cover showing 2 people standing side by side, and behind them was a beautiful view of the city and sky. There is also an image of the sun in the center of the cover separating the 2 people in the image.

She saw a manga title called "Your Name", a pretty interesting title Jean thought.

"..." Jean wordlessly started to turn to the first page of the manga and started reading it.

Lisa nodded in satisfaction when she saw her friend who was reading manga. She was very interested in Jean's reaction when reading the manga.

'Fufufu I can't wait to see the always serious Jean cry!'

Without Jean knowing it. Lisa smiled evilly upon seeing her reading manga for the first time.
