I wanted to do a book focused on Koishi-chan. I started drawing with a hazy story idea I liked about her still being all alone on the inside and "I guess this will be my first doujinshi????"
But somehow or other, I managed to finish it! (go me)
If the story left you a little confused about what it was supposed to be, that's one of the intended reactions. If you thought "I don't really get it, but whatever, let's go outside," I think you're probably Koishi. (If it was something different, make sure to send me your thoughts on Twitter or something...)

Koishi-chan's dream is full of messages to herself, but she completely misses all of them, which might not be very kind to the reader (I'm sorry). Just because she's the main character doesn't means he needs to be easy to relate to, huh. That's Koishi-chan for you.
In AoCF, Doremy told her something along the lines of "It seems you don't dream?" but... I figured that if she did dream (maybe Doremy just doesn't recognize it), it'd probably have some special internal meaning for her, but obviously in this story it went in one ear and out the other. If pushed, she probably would've just thought "That's a nice story". But instead she woke up because why not.
After waking up, she took a bath with her sister. (Cute, right?)
Koishi-chan a cute.
