    MANGA: Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu

    October 25, 2019 / No Comments
    Image result for Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu manga

    Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu – Aoi Aki

    1-3) Tsumasaki ni Kourozu
    Iwai Arata was recommended by his professor to work part-time under a rather eccentric mycologist, Murota. The mycologist seemed hard to approach at first. But slowly as he got used to Iwai’s presence, he became friendlier in his own way, showing Iwai a whole new world and giving him guidance with life. Though every day was fun and exciting, a sense of unease began to creep into Iwai’s heart

    4) Lingering Light (Tsumasaki ni Kourozu – Extra)

    5) A Fish’s Warmth
    Hirotaka has a secret. When people fall asleep, he sees fishes swimming out of their bodies, wandering and playing, and going back when they awaken. But, the deeper one’s secret is, the more solitary he becomes.

    6) Excursion at Midnight (A Fish’s Warmth – Extra)

    7) August, End of Summer
    When Haruhiko’s grandfather dies, he stays behind in the old house for the memorial service. Left with regrets of lost time, a mysterious boy, and forty nine days in the countryside, Haruhiko finds himself accepting the oddities and discovering a beautiful place.

    8) The Coming of Summer (August, End of Summer – Extra)

    Magical summer tales as soothing and peaceful as sunshowers.

    Tsumasaki Ni Kourozu: Gently paced age-gap romance between a socially awkward professor and his research assistant amidst fascinating illustrations of flora. No magic at all but felt so nonetheless

    A Fish’s Warmth: In a world full of secret fishes, melancholy high schooler opens his heart to friend. Their fishes dance together.

    August, End of Summer: College boy, dead grandfather and a lonely fox spirit. Poignant and enchanting.

    REVIEW: Heartsong by T.J. Klune

    October 25, 2019 / 3 Comments

    Green Creek: Heartsong – T.J. Klune

    All Robbie Fontaine ever wanted was a place to belong. After the death of his mother, he bounces around from pack to pack, forming temporary bonds to keep from turning feral. It’s enough—until he receives a summons from the wolf stronghold in Caswell, Maine.

    Life as the trusted second to Michelle Hughes—the Alpha of all—and the cherished friend of a gentle old witch teaches Robbie what it means to be pack, to have a home.

    But when a mission from Michelle sends Robbie into the field, he finds himself questioning where he belongs and everything he’s been told. Whispers of traitorous wolves and wild magic abound—but who are the traitors and who the betrayed?

    More than anything, Robbie hungers for answers, because one of those alleged traitors is Kelly Bennett—the wolf who may be his mate.

    The truth has a way of coming out. And when it does, everything will shatter.


    THIS BOOK

    Grass.
    Lake water.
    Sunshine.

    Robbie. Kelly.

    My soft, soft boys…

    At first, I thought it was a flashback.

    It’s not.

    Then I thought Ezra and his liverspots was a nice old man.

    He’s so much more than that.

    Oh, no. No no no!

    T.J. Klune took us once again to Green Creek and the wonderful Bennett pack. But not before he tore a piece of them out yet again. Even the wolf mother, Elizabeth, started to think they were cursed.

    Heartsong was a fight to survive. To find the mate who was stolen. To take back the memories that were erased. To restore bonds that were shattered. To heal hearts that were broken. To have a place to belong to and peace and love and happiness even just for now.

    I howl for you.

    Heartsong is packed with FEELS. It was fluffy and awesome and bittersweet and funny, also painful and shitshitshit I can’t look and oh my fucking gad how can you do that to them, TJ!!!

    I.FELT.EVERYTHING.

    P.S.

    Heartsong is the third book of the mind-blowing Green Creek series. The books are best read in order because you’ll howl for them too.

    T.J. Klune books here.

    Happy Asexual Awareness Week, everyone!

    I’m very glad to celebrate it with the amazing ace, Kelly, middle Bennett brother, Green Creek deputy and Robbie’s mate. These two are adorbs! Kelbie is my favorite Green Creek ship.

    Carter as mayor is gold tho.

    Rating:
    5 Stars – absolutely perfect

FLICKer: Balloons #shortfilm

This is a short film about falling in love with someone who isn’t ready to be seen with you. It’s about shame, first love, public affection, and losing someone before you ever got to be real with them.
