The first volume of the Amagi Brilliant Park light novel series illustrated by Yuka Nakajima (Listen to Me, Girls.
I Am Your Father!) was published from the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label on February 20, 2013, two years and
six months after the release of the final/12th volume of Gatoh's long-running series Full Metal Panic!. The
second volume was published on August 20, 2013, and the third was on January 18, 2014. The story centers
around a high school student Seiya Kanie. On a Sunday, a mysterious transfer student who carries a musket
gun Isuzu Sento takes him to an old and deserted amusement park Amagi Brilliant Park in Amagi-city, which
is located in the western part of Tokyo. He is told that if the park can't attract 100,000 visitors in the next two
weeks, it will be closed immediately. For some reason, Seiya has to save the park as an acting manager.
