The short story anthology "BALET," featuring 11 gorgeous writers, will be sold at the Literature Flea Market Tokyo to be held on May 4, 2026. This work is an anthology where writers active in various genres of light novels gather together, recording short stories written by each writer under the common theme of "Midnight." It is an ambitious work created by bringing together each author's individuality through highly free expression that differs slightly from commercial works. Please note that this book will be sold exclusively at the event venue, and there are no plans for mail order or bookstore distribution. On the day of the event, there will also be opportunities for participating writers, such as Isuna Hasekura, to sign autographs.
