Why should we license this?
This novel is based off of a famous Vocaloid song named "Prisoner" and it's sequel, "Paper Plane" both produced by PrisonerP. The story is about a Prisoner (nick-named 'Number 420) falling in love with a girl who visits on the opposite side of the fence, sending him letters with paper planes.
According to sources, the novel sold very well, and sold out within a week of being produced in 2012.

There is also a manga version of the same story available, under the same name. The manga was translated and released in French by Komikku around 2016.

Why shouldn't we license this?
This is the author's only novel/written work.
It may be harder to sell to people who don't know the original song series, or may be too hard to get into. It also seems to have more mature themes at parts that may turn away some.
