Kagepro creator and writer Jin WAS AND IS involved with writing for the Kagepro manga.
from this interview, 2k16: http://x0401x.tumblr.com/post/178499525294/
Ene: Now, Jin-san, //about the fact that /you are in charge of the manga/ "Kagerou Daze"//... speaking frankly, aren’t you slacking?
Jin (2k16): No, it’s not like I’m slacking. /In order for us to continue with the series named “Kagerou Daze” in an even more interesting way, we’re going through all sorts of preparations./
Ene: Hoho. What would that be, specifically?
Jin: “Kagerou Daze” has related works beside the manga. For example, in the novel, anime, etc., /the stories have developments completely different from the manga/. I’m //aiming for a means to have people enjoy them through /delicately/ /interconnecting/ these series /and the manga/ "Kagerou Daze"//, which is why we’re taking a publication break (*this was in 2k16). The latest novel volume will also be released at the end of August (2k16), though...
Ene: Heeh~. I don’t get it all that well, but you’re being pretty damn complicated with that novel and anime stuff, huh?
Jin: Yes. I’m often told so.
Ene: By the way, //is this work something you couldn’t have done while /maintaining the serialization/ of the manga//? //Isn’t /YOUR WORK PACE/ a bit too slow!?//
Jin: I have no words to reply with.
Ene: Hey, is there anything you want to say to the readers?
Jin: I am really sorry...
CERTAIN PARTS OF KAGEPRO FANDOM, 2k19: anyway, Jin isn't involved with the manga at all ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,,,
those of us who knew ALL ALONG that HE IS:
those of us: STOP. SPREADING. MISINFORMATION. /PLEASE/
I’ve been kind of thinking about this lately, but I believe that there’s nothing as ordinary or formated as the rock music of nowadays. For example, I think that VOCALOID and anime songs are very much rock. Looking back on time, rock has been heavily criticised and people have said that it wasn’t music, but a lot of people were wildly enthusiastic about it. I really like this sort of culture, so I was burning at the fact that there are people who hate anime songs or VOCALOID, or who don’t even listen to them in the first place. Like, “No, there are good ones, y’know?”

Jin had THE ENDING OF THE STORY DECIDED FROM THE BEGINNING.
Due to this, he couldn’t introduce new characters even though he’d always wanted to.
He’s been writing the sequel while thinking that if it turns out impossible to publish, then so be it. Kagerou Project Japan-only event information compliation; 2019 - event information from a Japanese native fan
Jin also mentioned that he took a lot of Sidu’s ideas into KagePro.
Trivia from Jin & Sidu (Spoon 2d1 magazine Vol. 44) [2013]
Sidu and Jin really [get] along well with each other and haven’t really had any kind of conflicts before.
Jin also mentioned
that he took
A LOT OF SIDU’S IDEAS
into KagePro.
Kagepro locations references: Hibiya & Hiyori’s village
HIBI + HIYO’S COUNTRYSIDE VILLAGE
WAS BASED AROUND THIS SMALL TOWN *
NEAR JIN’S HOMETOWN IN HOKKAIDO
(HOKKAIDO OF WHICH) IS WHERE SHINTARO + MOMO’S MOM IS ALSO FROM
NOTE: Jin didn't say "their village is located...",
BUT HE DID SAY:
"prototype for their village was that village located..."
... which is very likely that their / Kagepro’s countryside aspect was inspired by his own experience in that village / the area of Hokkaido in general.

yes, Jin wrote the manga, the nth
RE: “JIN WRITING THE MANGA”:
JIN WROTE THE STORYBOARDS FOR KAGEPRO’s MANGA ROUTE +
A LOT OF SUPER INTERESTING PLOT CONCEPT DETAILS
WERE IN THIS “GOUACHE” (JIN’S BAND) INTERVIEW
FROM 2016 KAGEPRO FANDOM ERA: (bolding/italics/caps mine for emphasis):
──And that was when your way of reasoning changed.
Jin: From that point on, as I wrote the novel, the STORYBOARD OF THE MANGA and the songs at the same time, I thought I should properly make something that I truly believed to be cool, touching, passionate and that could shake hearts. One may say this was like going back to base zero in a sense, but instead, it might just be that I no longer felt the need to listen to the adults surrounding me after I myself became an adult. Of course, even now, I’m helpless if no one assists me, but I just want to be the one taking responsibility for the things I say and do. I want to transmit what I believe in.
I.E. WE’VE KNOWN HE’S BEEN WRITING THE STORYBOARDS
SINCE 2016 YOU GUYS
