(Digital Bundle) Our Funny Love Story, Resistance Book 1 (eBook)

Own your digital copy of Byrd Koto's debut novel, a BL romantic literary mystery with heated banter and hidden layers! The digital version includes six original illustrations from cover artist xiehuajun.

The bookshop-only digital bundle includes the eBook (delivered via BookFunnel) and three character art digital wallpapers, for the same price as retail platforms!

An Achillean literary mystery set within the cutthroat world of Tokyo publishing, featuring exclusive illustrations and a sharp, danmei-esque edge.

A game of barbed wits and bad manners—until the search for a vanished author turns a comedy of errors into a haunting.

Kamada Eizo is a web novelist with a breezy front and a desperate core. Having landed a flagship fantasy serial with a Tokyo publisher, he's finally within reach of the life he craves-a life built on a foundation that could crumble at any moment.

Miyamoto Ran detests liars. A brusque, uncompromising editor, Ran is obsessed with a single prize: unearthing the lost work of an author who vanished eight years ago. Securing Eizo's success is merely the means to an end.

They are polar opposites, bound together by dislike at first sight and a mutual talent for barbed one-upmanship, until a high-stakes deadline forces an uneasy truce. Yet, as they draw closer, Ran begins to see through Eizo's mask, sensing that the fragile connection they share is built on carefully wrought artifice. But for two men who have had the story of their lives once stolen, how far will one go to win it back, even if it means silencing the other's voice?

Note: This is Book 1 of a duet. While the banter is sharp (sometimes crude) and the tension is high, this volume focuses on the mystery and the slow-burn psychological connection. A HEA concludes the duet in Book 2, Or So We Say (Winter 2026).

Praise for Our Funny Love Story:

Fantastic book. If you enjoy indie novels, danmei, misunderstandings, and enemies to lovers, this book is for you!

The writing is lucid, and the imagery and semiotics are striking...It's so beautifully layered.

This story is full of secrets and hidden meaning; it's like peeling back the layers of an onion without knowing the end, which adds complexity and humanity to the characters as we try to unravel the mystery of half-truths and lies.

As Eizo is a writer and Ran is an editor, there were snippets of the stories Eizo has written, and Ran has edited, interspersed throughout the book, and I was HOOKED on dissecting the hidden meaning behind each snippet.

Has enemies to lovers written all over this book while the slow-burn romance builds so naturally and hits all these deep notes on identity and loss.
