The narrative unfolds as Ai Hoshino communicates her decision to part ways with her agency, having made this choice soon after joining B-Komachi. However, the hidden stresses and disputes offstage prove overwhelming, making it unbearable for her to continue shouldering the strain.

Originally offered as a special reward for viewers who attended the pre-screening events of the initial episode of the anime in Japan, “Viewpoint B” focuses on an unnamed character from B-Komachi. The Japanese version of the audiobook can be found on the series’ official website, with Rie Takahashi – the voice actress of Ai in Japan – providing narration.

Another work titled “Futari no Etude” was published in Japan during December. It’s been announced that a third novel will follow, which is expected to further develop the ending of the manga.
