Hey guys... I notice that the same questions keep getting asked... over and over and over and over. I've answered them about a dozen times. Sooooo... here's an FAQ for you all!

~~Is this really the end for Kai & Luard's story?~~
We have the extra from the Drama CD and the Daria magazine from April, but unless more are released, yes. You can always follow Hasumi-san's Twitter ( https://twitter.com/fw_kisskiss), Insta ( https://www.instagram.com/fw_kisskiss/), and Pixiv ( https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=15436708) for art and updates. Unfortunately though, there is no second volume for this pairing.


~~So no babies/pregnancy for Kai & Ruado?~~
Unless sensei posts art or extras about them in the future, no. We do love the series, so we'll be watching for that. For now, we just have to imagine them (or write fanfiction about them, like me ^__^;; hehe...)


~~I LOVE DAATH/JUDA!! Is there more about them?~~
Why YES! There is! It's called Remnant: Jujin Omegaverse. It is currently being serialized monthly on Renta (and sometimes in Daria magazine) as well as being released through MULTIPLE other websites (including amazon.jp, ebookjapan and others, if you want to support the mangaka)


~~Will Remnant have anything about their babies?!~~
Unsure at this point. There have been ten chapters released and thus far, it has focused solely on when Daath and Juda met and the early days of their relationship (including some scenes with a young Kai). In recent chapters, Remnant has gotten close to the timeline of the ending of Pendulum, so who knows... It'll depend on if sensei ends the story with this volume or goes with another.

**HOWEVER..... Hasumi-sensei has been doing a separate series all about Juda and Daath's twins!! See the Tweet announcement here: https://twitter.com/fw_kisskiss/status/938723809183506432
And yes, NNN Scans will be translating this adorable series as well! The two released chapters have already been scanlated, but as it's only being released in Daria, it means bi-monthly releases at best.


~~Will NNN Scans be translating Remnant as well?~~
YES YES YES, 1000% YES!!
We love this series completely and utterly. We can't wait for you to see Remnant too! We're always hard at work on any new chapter. Queen Yaoi on Facebook was kind enough to share her raws with us for the first few chapters and we've purchased the rest as they become available. Check her page, as she often posts the raws.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Queen Yaoi occasionally restricts access to her page to block Americans because Americans keep reporting her posts.

PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON THIS SERIES. IT IS ALWAYS IN SOME STAGE OF BEING WORKED ON. IT IS NOT DROPPED NOR ARE WE IGNORING IT. WE HAVE REAL LIVES.

We have raws and are working on the following extras: Pendulum Drama CD extra, Remnant Drama CD extra, Remnant tanko extras. If there are any other bonus extras or one-page items out there that aren't also on sensei's Pixiv, we'd love raws!


~~Are there any Drama CDs for the series?~~
The Pendulum Drama CD was released in fall 2017. It had a short comic and longer extra. Those are waiting to be translated by our group. (Link to purchase: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/FFCL-21 )

The Remnant drama CD was just released in Japan (April 21, 2018). (Link to purchase: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/FFCL-276 )

If you would like the audio and are unable to purchase it on your own, message me directly and I can link you.


~~How can I support the mangaka?~~
You can purchase the manga from Renta Japan or any online retailer that sells Japanese manga. I am proud to own most of the Daria magazines with Remnant/Pendulum covers plus all the tanko and CDs. You can like sensei's posts on her social media accounts (but please DO NOT comment in English or any other languages except Japanese!).

Hello! This is Yamane Ayano. Thank you very much for purchasing "You're My Secret Promise in Viewfinder". A new volume after two and a half years... did you all enjoy it? This time it took longer than usual to release the volume for the tseries and I apologize for making you all wait. Even though I previously said I would try harder, due to my health problems, I wasn't able to draw much, and ended up causing tremendous problems for the editor and the printing office instead... However, this new release has given me some relief. I was not aware of how poor my drawing skills were until I began doing the revisions, so I redrew quite a few of them, just like I usually do with every volume. Please try not to compare them with my old work in the magazine T.T

This volume doesn't have many love scenes since the story is progressing, and I apologize for that. I have to keep my patience as well when this happens. The cutesy and juicy scenes I wanted to draw were replaced by bloody battles instead. Akihito's weakened spirit and Sudou's touchiness irritated me, so I put effort into drawing Akihito's butt crack which can be seen during the catfight (being rubbed) and the gunfight scenes in the latter half of the book. I had spoken to my editor about my desire to draw Akihito and Asami escaping through the secret passage in the apartment after being cornered, and my wish partially came true! My highlight was Kirishima in pajamas... ^^ With the scene where Akihito was hanging from a crane, I felt a little violence fit the situation. The uke hung up like a sandbag... Such manly manliness (I'll shut up now...)

These days, the rules and regulations on explicit artwork has become stricter, so the private regions have been left undrawn... It's really a shame >.< There might be audiences who are okay with censorship of the genitals as long as the two men are in love, but I prefer to have a mind-blowing, vividly rich erotic love scene ^.^... I want Asami and Akihito to keep having a thrilling type of "chase or be chased" relationship, even in bed <3.

15 years have passed by without me realizing it until someone told me, and it's kind of scary if I think about it, but this is a long series that moves at a rather slow pace; however, this is the speed at which I draw, so what I can do is to make sure I work as hard as I can. To those who look forward to my work, I am very sorry. It would be lovely if you could all support Akihito and not let him fall down the rabbit hole, and support Asami, who has enemies who both love and hate him. And the character you have been waiting to see again might appear in the story!

Lastly, for the longtime fans of the Viewfinder series, new readers of the story, the letters, presents, and cheerful tweets: I always get such encouragement from all of you when I need it. This series would not have lasted this long without you. Thank you so much!

The editors and editorial department that work together with my slow drawing hand and who come up with various plans and ideas to make the story more appealing, the god-like skilled artisan who brings the beautiful colors, the printing office and agency that keeps their doors open until the last second, and the book stores - I appreciate all the people involved in publishing. I will try hard to make the future stories more entertaining, so I ask you to continue to support me!
