The final story in the "Secrets I Want to Tell" series

The 'Secret I Want to Tell' series, which has sold over 700,000 copies and quickly became a bestseller thanks to the love of readers in their 10s and 20s, is back with the long-awaited third volume.

This third volume will present the passionate first love of a pure romantic, something we've all dreamed of at least once, and will present readers with a romance that is even more powerful than volumes 1 and 2.
In these times when it's easy to meet and break up, or even give your heart to someone, the pure sincerity of someone who has held onto someone for a long time and ultimately confessed that their first love is their last will make our hearts flutter once again.

As you read, you start to look at it from a neutral perspective, but eventually you empathize with both sides and can't help but root for them.

Into the book
“I remember Otomi holding her lunch box with a lonely face.
Over the years we've lived together, Miku is the most difficult female student for me to deal with.
To be exact, the style that only follows trends is one of the types of styles I 'hate'.
I have no desire to talk like we used to.
But the reason I'm still worried is... because she's my ex-girlfriend.
That's all.
--- p.22

I think I would want to date someone if they really liked me.
But I also don't show my real self to others.
Well then, we won't be able to date anyone.
Even if you confess, you won't be able to believe that feeling.
There's no way the other person would know our true selves.
--- p.55

I felt embarrassed because Miku laughed out loud.
But, it makes me feel good to see you laughing out loud.
Moreover, at the family restaurant, they used to call me by my last name, but now they call me by my first name.
I could feel the tension in my facial muscles relaxing.
I can't tell what kind of expression I'm making.
Why am I like this, it's weird.
--- p.120

sorry.
The other day I said that I didn't have the confidence to like someone.
I realized that I've been liking my ex-girlfriend all along.
--- p.123

If I had noticed the change in Miku's behavior sooner, if I hadn't avoided her because it felt awkward... Miku wouldn't have poured out her heart to someone whose name and face she didn't even know.

I don't know what I could have done if I had known about Miku's situation when we were dating.
But I keep getting mad that I didn't try to do anything, that I didn't even try to find out.
--- p.186

“What kind of true self is that? It can change over time and can be suddenly influenced by certain things.” (Omitted) “It’s necessary to be concerned about others to some extent.
It's good to ignore your surroundings and act freely.
“No matter how you act, isn’t it all ultimately about that person?”
--- pp.279-280

Publisher's Review

A high teen romance novel that has sold over 700,000 copies
The long-awaited conclusion to the 'Secret I Want to Tell' series!


A lovely and fluffy cover that makes your heart flutter just by looking at it, a fresh, sweet, and pure romance that you might have experienced at least once during your school days, and vivid characters.
This one-of-a-kind high-teen romance novel, with its heart-pounding plot and heart-fluttering highlights throughout, firmly demonstrates the truth that "the taste of familiarity is scarier," and keeps our hearts pounding throughout! "A Secret I Want to Tell," a story you can't help but love no matter how many times you read it, concludes its long-awaited third volume.


The first volume, which depicts the feelings of a couple who are in a relationship and the sweetness and freshness of lovers who have just started dating, was immediately loved by many in Japan and was made into a movie. Thanks to its popularity, it was also released in Korea and received much love along with the original novel.
The second volume, which deals with a prickly perfectionist high school girl and a free-spirited but infinitely serious and affectionate high school boy to the person he loves, captivated readers by presenting an even more intense and poignant tale of unrequited love.
Following this, the long-awaited third volume, which features Setoyama Miku, the younger sister of Setoyama Jun, the male protagonist of the first volume, as the main character, will once again make readers fall deeply in love by delicately and poignantly depicting the world of 'first love', which everyone has dreamed of at least once when it comes to 'romance'.

"As long as it's not you! I really hate you."
Strong denial, truth hidden in lies

[The Man's Story]
Arino Kei, a homebody with a clear taste and far from trends, picks up a notebook in the library one day.
But when I looked through the note to find the owner, I ended up hearing an absurd story…?

“Oh, I want to date anyone.

But I hate Arino Kei even if I die!”_From the text

I suddenly get angry because I hear a negative comment from a stranger, but I'm curious about the reason, so I end up writing down the answer in my notebook.
That's how the exchange diary started.
He becomes curious about this strange and unfamiliar girl who is somewhat lacking in confidence and naive, but cannot give up on love.
And as I got to know her through the exchange diary, I started to feel a strange resemblance to my ex-girlfriend who had dumped me twice, and I wanted to solve the question that had been on my mind for a long time, like homework, from her.
If you know why you hate yourself, you might also know why your ex-girlfriend dumped you.
If I knew the reason, wouldn't I be able to approach him again?

[That Woman's Story]

Miku is a trend lover who is always up to date with trends, and she is always a source of inspiration for her friends. She also gets along well with everyone without being shy.
In fact, Setoyama Miku has been trying to erase the shadow of her single-parent family by smiling more brightly, trying not to fall behind trends, and creating a protective shield of herself as a kind person to everyone.
But the response she gets in return is a cold stare from her ex-boyfriend who says she has no manners and a scolding for being a vixen who is only kind to boys.
After that, Miku tried to be more mindful of people and not stand out so as not to get hurt by anyone.
I was the first to tell my ex-boyfriend that we weren't a good fit and that we should break up.
But even that lie was just another shield that Miku had built herself.
Will Miku be able to break through that protective barrier and break out of myself?

“No matter how many times we break up, I’m still, always you.”
From romantic encounters to long-time lovers
A Bible of Secrets for Lovers


“Rather than saying I don’t like him, I just can’t figure out what he’s thinking, Arino Kei.
“I like people who can express anything.”_From the text

It's a common refrain in romantic stories, but it's actually quite difficult to maintain this principle with someone you love.
I hope that you understand and know each other to this extent, even if I don't say anything.
If I show my disappointment, I feel like I'm the only one who's going to get hurt, so I keep my mouth shut.
In the end, they protect their pride and turn away from each other to avoid getting hurt.
But isn't the real intention hidden in "I don't think we're a good match" or "If this is how it's going to be, let's just break up!" something like "I wish we could find a way to be a better match" or "I still want to be by your side"?


The moment we understand that different way of confessing and accept each other, we finally realize that feelings of love don't need any conditions, and that we can't help but love that person for all their good points, bad points, and even their disappointments.
This novel unfolds its simple and clear message in a story more affectionate, delicate, and powerful than any other book.


A new world of perfect love, drawn by Sakura Iiyo, the queen of teen romance who always makes our hearts flutter.
Once you step into that world, your heart will race so much that your lifespan may be shortened, so brace yourself and prepare to fall in love with the 'Malseombi' style, this magical novel!
