I am sure that this number was made possible by the wonderful illustrations, the comic book adaptation, the PV, and the work of everyone involved.

It is unimaginable and unbelievable that a million copies of a work that I was involved in exist in this world.
I hope to continue to draw the White and White Walkers and other Osake characters with rich expressions.

Congratulations on the "Love Comedy of Never Losing a Friend from Childhood" exceeding one million copies! I am newly in charge of the spin-off series of Shida 4 sisters, and the characters of Osamake are really unique and cute... I still can't narrow down my guesses to just one. I love the serial parts where each character's thoughts collide with each other! I hope that the world of "Osamake" will become even bigger in the future!

(Manga artist of "Wednesday's Osamake")
Congratulations on the one million copies of "Osamake"! Of course I like Osamake because the heroine is cute, but the other heroines are also attractive, such as Tetsuhiko and Abe's final answer to each other and Sueharu's nostalgic feeling of being the hero. I'm looking forward to the future development!
