Mizushima Hiro will be releasing his debut novel, titled “KAGEROU“, which received the prestigious “Poplar Publishing Grand Prize for Fiction” award on December 15th, and it’s been reported that the novel has already received over 400,000 pre-orders. According to a person from the publishing industry, that number is extremely high, especially nowadays when a new writer’s book that receives a rookie award usually gets 4000~5000 copies sold for the first edition. The person also said that “KAGEROU” is sure to be a bestselling novel.
Mizushima’s agency commented, “Not only us (people from his agency), but Mizushima himself is also very surprised to hear that, and we also appreciate that it will be read by many people.”
