Yes. Yes please.

It's from Clair Obscur Expedition 33 btw. I'm late to the party, I admit this game totally fly under my radar, and only notice it after it made a big rumbling after release. Hence I had known next to nothing about it other than it's turn-based RPG and the short description,

"Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number and everyone of that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” Tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again. We are Expedition 33."

Me, who's turning 33 this year: ...( 0 _0) ...(o_o ) .. guess I'm in.

And I'm so glad I give it a go. What the heck is this game. Go play it guys, it's modern Final Fantasy game we never had 😭

(and I probably will continue to randomly babbling about it here cause no one irl would understand what I'm screeching about but I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT so I turn here to scream at the void. Tho I'll try to not rambling too much..)

Sugaru Miaki's "The Town of Sakura"

The Town of Sakura (or "A Town of Fake Cherry Blossoms") is a novel by Sugaru Miaki, also known as Fafoo, writer of stories like Three Days of Happiness, Pain, Pain, Go Away, and Your Story.

A man who works as a professional faker is told about the suicide of a girl from his past, and he returns to his hometown to confirm its veracity. There, he encounters someone who's the spitting image of the girl he once knew. It all seems set to play out again - only this time, the roles are reversed.

(As you might expect, content warning for suicide as a central element and dark moments in general. Also, a translator's note: the book makes use of the dual meanings of the Japanese word "sakura." Not only does it mean "cherry blossom," it's can also refer to "fakers," specifically in senses like "paid crowd." People should hopefully get the gist, but it may help to know that usage wasn't just invented out of nothing for the story.)

I encourage you to buy the book yourself to support the author. (Rakuten Kobo) (Kinokuniya) (Amazon.co.jp)

I decided I'd post the whole story at once this time, but still split the chapters up into roughly even parts. You can start from Part 1 here. Or you can read my translation as a PDF here.

#omg fafoo's new book?? thank uuu #three days of happiness n pain pain go away are still my fav stories #I follow him on twitter but I hardly use it after muskrat killed the bird kek so I didn't know he got a new one #tho I also hardly check tumblr anymore lol just happened to saw this when searching for yoken's interview #again thank you so so much for all your hardworks ┌( _ _)┐#Fafoo #Sugaru Miaki
