I still see recommendations to read Kenkyo Kenjitsu by Japanese fans on twitter, so yes, yes they are.
any update at all? from the author or anyone about the novel? found this a few months ago and I have been waiting for updates ToT
Nope. Nobody has heard from the writer and nobody knows what's going on. Some of us have been waiting for 3 years.
Hmm... i can't really say its good for me either. nearly a year now and well I'm craving for updates. though its prob incomparable to people who have waited for 4 years.
It's April and still no update I've started reading when I was a freshman, now I'm graduating... pain
I know everyone is desperate for updates, and so am I. Honestly, I miss my daily dose of fluff, and my little gluttonous gremlim lol. Also I really like how the author always baited us into thinking Reika would get a love interest haha! The author was really good with the foreshadowing as well, like, who would've thought that Reika giving love advice to her- uh, "disciples" would have led her to getting involved with Bakaburagi! In this novel, it felt like there was a real moving world beyond the pages. It felt like there was actual life beyond Reika's POV! This novel really made me like the first-person subjective type of narrative. I haven't ever found a slice of life novel that has so much charm! So, for me, I'm not pressed to see the love interest .I JUST NEED MY SOURCE OF DIABETES DAMMIT! Ah, sorry, I've been Reika deprived for quite a bit, haha... In all seriousness, I hope the author is okay. Even if they don't come back or if it never gets updated again, I'll just be happy that I ever got to read such a cozy, cute, heart warming story. I'll never, ever, ever forget the experience Reika sama gave me; and I'm equally glad you all can't forget it either! So, with that out of my system, it's time for my 5th re-read haha...!
I’ll wait forever, no matter how long it takes! I have to see the end to Reika’s romance!(more like the start of)
I start to think, could it be that the author didn't expect her novel would be popular like this and then she was afraid if she continued the story, the higher the chance her identity would be revealed. Because like some people said, the story like an actual daily life of an ojou-sama in Japan.
Could be like Nana, author's having writer's block and is trying to improve her quality or maintain it or something. OR something could've happened to the author. I suddenly thought of Act-Age author, that was a shame, but the difference is that this Kenkyo Kenjitsy author's identity is hidden.If author really is an ojousama.... still there's tons of ojou samas..ok maybe her family found out or she's getting blackmailed Was the author confirmed to be a girl btw? someone bring the author back T.T
I read this story till chapter 147 now, and I'm sad Reika-san is still aloneeee. The author keeps teasing with all those boys around lol.. but it seems Reika is more of a spectator though in the end she does come around, especially after not finding her old family in this life which was emotional. I just really hope she finds someone.. But even if she doesn't, this story was so warm, cute and funny even if she doesn't have romance.
I once saw a photo of some girls from a prestigious girl's school in Tokyo, and in that photo there's one girl who had a hair style similar to Reika, her ribbon, her height, and weight are really what I could imagine in Reika, and the first thing that I thought is 'if Reika is real, could this be her?' so.. yeah.. I couldn't think of any possibility after I saw that photo..
