In a word, yes.

Spoiler for major spoiler details:

But it's a long road to get there. While Konoha's first novel was about his feelings for Miu, his second novel was about his feelings for Touko. When he gave it to her though, she only read it and didn't eat it and told him that she didn't have the right to make him her own novelist because someone of his talent belonged to everyone. The epilogue for the last novel skips ahead 6 years and shows Konoha getting ready to meet his new editor by wearing the white scarf even though it's summer.

Ahhh I definitely remember that event in volume 1. In this sense, this is like Adachi's manga.

Spoiler for Very minor Adachi's work's plot progression:

Long, long great build up, but we don't see the couple's aftermath.

Kinda make me want more after though. Speaking of which, aren't there still something related to the series like 文学少女”見習いの、傷心 which's supposed to come at the end of this year? What's that about?

Also, I read part of “文学少女”と乙女に集う召喚獣 when I was actually reading バカとテストと召喚獣 . Needless to say, I was laughing pretty hard when I saw Tooko and Konoha's name showing up. For a second there I thought I was reading the wrong story. I always love it when authors do short crossover works (especially when you recognize both of them).

Though I have the hunt down the other part where they make cameo in 学校の階段 (which I should read too). Too bad they aren't making a TV series out of this. I always felt that just a movie/ova thingy is too short (even if it is by Production I.G.).

In general, it's kinda sad the English speaking community aren't huge on translating the novels. I understand the cross culture reference and language plays are a pain, but it just pains me that people watch some inferior adaptations (Chrome Shelled Regios comes to mind) and lose interest when the original's so much better. *sad face*
