Media
YouTube Channel
While writing several works, author Ghost Mikawa learned of the existence of a reader who had a request to "deeply dig into the daily life of the character". He was interested in seeing what would happen if he tried to write an unusual work, and decided to write a story depicting the relationship between step-siblings.
Regarding the production of the videos, Mikawa is the the original author of Gimai Seikatsu, but the script of the story is handled by multiple writers. According to Mikawa, the writing style of each writer is shown in each script, so it is often taken as it is.
All videos on the YouTube Channel are subtitled in English, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese.
