Re: Straw—A Dream of Suzu (Part 5 up 20151118)

It suffers a bit from the fact that you wrote in in places as thought it wasn't completely translated right, that combines with some overly flowery and melodramatic prose and switching point of view characters made me have to go back and re-read some sections a few times to make sure I got what was...

Re: Swampie's Stories : Shizune In America : 10/12/15

There were two funny moments in this one.

1. Flight 815 to America—I don't think there's any airline/airport that would announce a flight like that! Normally flight information gives the destination city.

2. Misha actually clocked Hisao! :D

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread

He's also waaaay too into the Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman films to the point of imitating the character (minus the charm and fun) and annoying everybody. Jigoro's codename for his blind niece is 'Swordsman'. After all 'Satou-ichi' is a perfectly good Japanese pun. Meanwhile, Lilly's cane is a lot ...

Curator's Update (20151208) Kenji Book Five Complete

Book Five of Sakura—The Kenji Saga has now been released. It covers Kenji's life from 2025 to the end of 2044, a period of some two decades. Its contents are as follows, and I trust you will not mind the extremely redacted nature of the text. What remains appears satisfactory. Kenji Book 5: The Tast...

Sakura—The Kenji Saga (Book 5 Complete 20151208)

This is the seventh and last section of Kenji Setou’s long-suppressed ‘Book Five’. He never wanted it published, but in later years, when we had painfully clawed our way back to a kind of true friendship, he began to change his mind. In places, it is a very personal chronicle, much like those of hi...

Interlude (20151207)

"Here I'm sitting, wondering why my life has always seemed a lie." It's the pitch that gets to me. Miss Suzuki, fourth in a family of five, has always seemed like a woodwind, a flute of some sort that can be both high and low. I sigh and turn to face her. She's sitting where Natsume normally sits wh...

Some Words

Those are some really interesting responses, with insightful new looks at some relatively old and some newer works. I'll keep the discussion open till the end of this week, before dewelar begins to set out his agenda for 'ensemble works', bigger pieces involving most of the Yamaku cast. Suggestions ...

Interlude (20151206)

"Kenji!" I hiss. It's not easy to do, that. But I'm a little upset, and he should know why. "Ah. Author-san." "Is there a seventh part of Book Five or not? 2044?" "Ah. Yes." "Where is it?" He is all guilty pseudo-innocence as he replies, "I think Natsume has it." "She didn't say anything about that....

... you watch old episodes of The West Wing and wonder if Kenji grew up to be like Toby Ziegler (acted masterfully by Richard Schiff).

Sakura—The Kenji Saga (Book 5-6 up 20151206)

This is the sixth section of the infamous ‘Book Five’ of the records of Kenji Setou. I have always been proud of my country, even when there was little in which to have pride. Director-General Setou of the Extraordinary Committee gave me hope, but his position and effectiveness also meant he and I ...

Re: Reliable Narrators

All jokes aside, I can't wait to see the points of view from Akio, Maeda, Shizune, and Keiko. Orie was fun and bubbly. A one-legged dancer is very interesting. It's hilarious that when she's dancing in the storage closet, everyone was thinking she was spazzing out. Again, given her condition, that ...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread

But then A22 comes along and is all like "Nah, man. That ain't gonna work, cuz my girl is the best at everything". I'd bet anything that she'd have beaten Hanako at billiards too if a scene had called for them to play against each other. I'm not the biggest Shizune fan, so maybe I just took the sce...
