KADOKAWA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Director, Representative Executive Officer, President and CEO: Tsuyoshi Natsuno) will announce the “Twin Challenge! 1” (original story: Shichito Nii, illustration: Shimeko) will be released. This work is currently being serialized in Kadokomi and CandleA, and is based on the popular series of Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko, the No. 1 share of children’s books, winning the 9th Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko Novel Award (Gold Prize). It is a popular work that has sold over 220,000 copies in total. ◆Highlights A story about a child who refuses to give up and says “NO!” to the tacit imposition of “adult rules.” The pressure of having to behave “typically” and the pain of not being able to come to terms with one’s own feelings. It’s a feeling I’m sure I’ll remember even as an adult. That’s why I’m so moved by the efforts of the two, who, with their childlike naivety, ask “Why?” and “I don’t want that!”. The original novel is very popular with children in the Reiwa era. Even adult readers will be thrilled by this comic version. ◆Synopsis “Akane” and “Kaede” are twins who look exactly alike; the older sister is mischievous and assertive, and the older sister is quiet and cute. A duo of younger brothers who are attracted to each other. However, on the day of her 10th birthday party, her parents force her to act like a girl and a boy. The two are shocked when those around them give them relieved looks and say, “If you do it right, you two are really cool/cute.” Are we not blessed by anyone for who we are? I don’t like that! So the twins came up with a “challenge”…!?
