AidaIro

AidaIro (あいだいろ) are the authors of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun. They are a team consisting of Iro, the writer, and Aida, the illustrator of the series.

They are also the creators behind several older works, such as the Fox-Masked Guardian Spirit and a visual novel, Narisokonai Snow White (alternatively known as Half-Baked Snow White).

Referencing from the end credits, Aida's former pen name is Aida Hano and Iro's pen name is Tokuna Nozomi.

Narisokonai Snow White
Once upon a time in a country called Engelland, there lived a slightly selfish and narcissistic but still very beautiful little princess.

"Hey Estelio, who's the fairest of them all?"

"Why, Princess, that would be yourself."

The princess was much beloved for being the most beautiful girl in the country, but one day her father remarried, and her new stepsister Nocsia was even more beautiful than she, and with a much more agreeable personality--

"H-hey Estelio, who's the fairest of them all...?"

"Why, Princess, that would be..."

This is the story of a slightly selfish princess and her manservant, a boy as brutally honest as a mirror.
