No, no... That's Kroenen. Way different thing altogether.

Kroenen the Barbaryan?

See, literary commentary can be fun. Thank Darknus!

In Part 6 of Hanako's arc, Flowers , she reads a 9th-century Japanese poem by Ono no Komachi to Hisao. There, I (rather badly) translated it as: On the paths of dream I walk with you forever But our long friendship Is but a single glimpse In the real world, where you are not. It's only recently that...

Given that we're over halfway through the month, it might be best to open up all chapters up through nine for discussion, and just let people cherry-pick what scenes they want to talk about. I dunno. Whatever works for everybody else works for me. Chapters Seven to Nine, as linked in the MTtB threa...

I think that one thing done very well in MTtB is that Iwanako is not herself, although she's got plenty of herself to be. She asserts selfhood while wondering about her real self, the self she wants to be, the self she's afraid of becoming, and the self that she finds herself being. That's why readi...

As Rin once said, underpants show a person's soul. However, Kenji thinks differently. It's a risky business, all round. A Game of Risk Hisao had spent quite a while thinking of how to get his unlikely friends together in an activity all would enjoy. Chess? No, only for two, and if they played Trans...

It is with pleasure and thanks to many people, Natsume Ooe and Rika Katayama above all, that I present the edited Book 4 of Sakura—The Kenji Saga . Oh yes, thanks to Kenji Setou too, who kindly consented to any form of publication at all. Kenji Book 4: The World Turned Upside-Down (2020-2025) 2020.0...

This is the eleventh and last section of the fourth part of the redacted archive of Kenji Setou. In which Kenji thinks a lot about who knows what, and who knows who knows. Kenji 4: The World Turned Upside-Down (September 2024-March 2025) From 2025 onwards, everything was new. I did not know how new...

"Ha, author-san, are you finally satisfied?" Only one person can inspire such irritation in me, and not flinch at my divine wrath. Even Misha, to my dismay, has been known to flinch when I laugh. But here he is, in a Homburg ludicrously mismatched with a Tom Baker scarf. "Hello, Kenji," I say, attem...

One thing in particular that I like is how out of her depth and caught off guard her narration feels. She doesn't know what she's doing and how she should be doing it and as a result she's floundering. As much as I'm rooting for her to find her feet again, I'm also kind of hoping that her nadir con...

Well... As the updates grew later and later I'd wondered how'd Kenji was going to take the event that managed to influence all of the characters in the wide universe you've established. I'm not too surprised at that particular turn of events. I wonder how long Hisao's death is going to weigh on Ken...

I must confess you seem to have had a greater impact on me than you ever thought you'd have.

That's one of those drug-induced Kenji-style nightmares she's having there. Cool. Actually, it sounds a lot like the effects of this drug.

This is an experimental work. I was going to write something for Hanako's 26th birthday, but this came out instead. It takes place in T +75, which some of you will recognise as 2099. As always, I appreciate commentary and ideas about such experiments. :) Lady of Light and Darkness: Chapter 1 It cam...

Happy birthday, Hanako Ikezawa!

Have a piece of experimental cake.
