And just like that — we’ve reached the end of Volume 1 of More Than a Melody.
When I started this project, I wanted to create something that felt like a blend between anime storytelling and the warmth of slice-of-life — with a bit of emotional weight hiding underneath the fun moments. Writing Kazuki, Hana, Naomi, Shun, Kenji, Ayame, and Aoi has been a journey for me too, and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.
Whether you’ve been reading since Chapter 1 or only just joined, thank you for every view, comment, like, review, and message of support. You’re the rhythm that keeps this story alive.
? What’s next?
Before we dive straight into Volume 2, I’ll be releasing a Summer Mini Arc — a lighter, more relaxed set of chapters that focus on the group’s trip to the beach and the holiday vibes in between all the drama. Think laughs, bonding, and hints of what’s to come…
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
?? Release Schedule:
-
Summer Mini Arc: September 5th – 20th
-
Volume 2: The Summer Festival Arc begins September 30th
Thank you again for being part of this first volume. I couldn’t have asked for a better audience to take this leap with me.
Until then, keep your playlists loaded, keep your spirits high, and always remember:
The sky is the limit :)

Kenji: “Yo, thanks for reading! And just so you know, my spin move in Chapter 10? Yeah, that’s gonna be remembered for generations. You’re welcome.”
Naomi: “Please ignore him. And thank you properly for supporting us. I hope you’ll stay for Volume 2 — it’s only going to get better from here.”
Hana: “Yeah, thanks. Also, don’t think I didn’t notice some of you rooting for me and Kazuki. I’ve got my eye on you.”
Kazuki: “...She’s not wrong. But… seriously, thank you. I didn’t think people would want to hear my story again. So… thanks for giving me another chance.”
Shun: “…Yo.”
Kenji: “That’s it? Just ‘yo’?!”
Ayame: “Enough bickering! We’ll see you all in the Summer Mini Arc. Study hard until then!”
Aoi: “And don’t forget your sunscreen~”
