My Name.
Aki.
Age?
24 yrs old.
BF?
Sure I have.
Why not?

the story itself is a pretty standard Keitai Novels: boyfriend’s dead ex, pregnancy, abortion, etc. But the way she writes created a massive buzz in Japanese blogsphere and lots of tools are made, like Turn your blog into Atashi-Kanojo, Plain Japanese translation of the novel and GM user script to make the novel actually Takahashi.xul slides.
