* ■Comment from author Yoru Sumino*
Nice to meet you! Thank you for letting me know! This is Yoru Sumino. Thankfully, many of my novels have been made into audiobooks, and each time I am amazed and moved by the wonderful performances and readings by the voice actors. This time as well, Yoru Sumino’s story, “If you cut your stomach open, blood will just come out”, has a particularly large number of pages and characters, and has turned into a work with a wonderful sound. I hope that both those who love the original work and fans of the voice actors who appeared in the series will enjoy it.

I find it difficult to understand others, and I cling to myself because I want to be loved, and I feel trapped and have a hard time living.
The time I spent facing Akane Nei was painful, but I also felt a sense of excitement and accomplishment, and I was desperately clinging to her life.
