## *The Man God is in Love With*

She collaborated with Takashima on *The Man Who Fell for God* (神が恋する男 'かみがこいするおとこ'). This is actually a re-release of an older novel she previously published called, "*He Doesn't Choose the Means*." (カレは手段を選ばない 'かれはしゅだんをえらばない') The book's summary is:

> So long as he gets paid, sex or forgery is a trivial matter for magazine reporter Mochiduki Yasutaka who is headed for an island where faith in gods-incarnate has continued. His purpose is to collect data properly on the hoax that the island's faith is a dangerous religious cult at the request of a resort development company. Even then, he suspects he himself is a god, and ends up taking a liking to THE God Hiiragi, a beauty who has never taken a single step outside the island. Hiiragi's body and innocent heart has tickled Mochiduki's instincts as a man——!? Includes "He Doesn't Choose the Means," and the new works "The Man Who Fell for God," and "God's Genes." Beautiful illustrations by Takashima Kazusa are included~

And you can see on the cover, that this is advertised as the "Full Version."
