Hey, aspiring writers, bloggers, and content creators, looking for inspiration? A fifteen-year-old girl who goes by the (pen) name of “Bunny” has become a literary sensation in her native Japan, due to the b success of a keitai (cellphone) novel series that she created in her free time between school, home life and homework.The chronicles of “Wolf Boy X Nature Girl,” were published in paperback, and have brought in over $600 thousand dollars in sales–no small feat for a shy teenager who allegedly prefers to keep her sudden success a secret from her friends.  While Keitai novels (novels composed via text on cellphones) have yet to catch on with mainstream American youth, this modern literary genre is wildly popular amongst young adults in Japan, China and other east Asian countries… and if they go the way of anime and graphic novels, we won’t be surprised to see the bite-sized digital format catch on with an increasingly mobile audience here in the states.
