“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
🎼Oh Waku... no matter what you do 🎙️🎵🎶

The Way of Life (excerpt)
Rated: T; implied sexual content.
A/N: a small section of a shinkane fic I've been working on for months, but I'm in the middle of drowning in med and grad school applications so let me just share the section that I'm most confident in for now. Post-First Inspector. Mild PPP spoliers, more like allusions but anyway. Enjoy!
He trails kisses from her shoulder to her fingertip, whispering “I’m sorry” in between each one, never failing to keep his lips a feather’s touch away from her skin.
“Stop.” She giggles at the tickling sensation.
He lifts his head to look at her. Then continues.
“Stop.” She says again. He doesn’t stop. “Stop it! Kougami-san.” She says restlessly.
“That’s not my name.” She looks at him confused
“Akane. Call me by my name.”
“Just like you were doing it a while ago when we-” “Shinya!”
“Like that.”
He holds a lock of her damp hair in between his thumb and forefinger, tucking it behind her ear. Now, he could see her whole flushed face, spent and glowing with the rays of the sunrise coming in through the windows of her enforcer’s quarters. She’s still trying to catch her breath from their previous activities.
“When do you have to go?” she asks.
“Whenever you tell me to.”
“I’m sure Hanashiro-san needs you on assignments.”
“That may be. But she knows this is important to me. Gino and Sugo can handle it.”
His hands find their way to the scar on her thigh and then travels to an identical one on her side. She feels his fingers repeatedly trace over the area and she mimics the movements of his fingers over the matching scar on his thigh.
“What do you think our lives would’ve been like if there was no Sibyl?” she asks, adding “Would you still have chosen to be a detective?”
“I don’t know. What other life would you think suit me?”
“Probably a professor. You would teach comparative literature.”
“Hm. And where would I teach?”
“Nara. The local university there.”
“Is that where we meet?”
Akane pauses briefly. “Yes. I study...law there.”
“We marry after you graduate.”
“And move into a small house close to the university.”
“Any kids?”
“Two. Shu and…”
“Joji.” He finishes.
“Yes. While the boys are still small, we come to see you after work, then we go home as a family and eat dinner together.”
He buries his face in her stomach for a while as he tries to process both the overwhelming warmth and heartbreak that was swelling up in him. When he resurfaces, he grabs a cigarette while he repositions himself next to her on the bed.
“Well I didn't think I’d take me for someone who’d be good at words. Much less teach them. There's other people who are better at that. Like Kunizuka and… well another former colleague of mine.”
“Tsubasa Tori-san.”
“Ah yes, her. How did you know?”
There was a long pause, then Akane fixates her gaze on the ceiling. “I’ve watched some of your former case recordings. From when you used to be an inspector.”
Kougami smiles and chuckles “And what did you think?”
“You were very different at that age.” He was more polished and well spoken.
“Different better or worse?”
“Neither.” She turns to him and smiles.
“But the ‘you’ in those recordings, felt so familiar. Reminded me of Shindo-kanshikan.”
“It’s funny that you say that. Everytime I see that kid, I’m reminded of you.”
“I see.”
She sees him put out his cigarette and lay back down properly. She takes the chance to position herself over him.

hello! do you know what happened to the inspector kougami manga series? I heard dark horse has taken over serializing it (I think that means translating) but they seem to have stopped at vol 4 when I think there's a total of 6 volumes, right? I can only find up to vol 4 in eng on amazn. I'd be more than willing to buy vol 5/6 to support the series if they're in eng but it looks like the eng serialization went completely on hiatus for some reason?
Hello 😀
Yes, Dark Horse does the official English version of KKS, but as you said, they’ve only released up to volume 4. I couldn’t find any news about this, nor any announcement that it’s been cancelled, so it’s probably safe to say that it’s on indefinite hiatus.
If someone else knows more info about this, please do share, thank you! 😊

Hi. I wanted to ask if you read all 6 Volumes of Kanshikan Kogami Shinya. If so can you tell me what happened at the end to Inspectors Waku and Tezuka? Also about Ex Enforcers (Now) Kurata, Torii and Amari please. The English translation stopped after Volume 4 so I can't read 5 and 6 since I can't understand Japanese aside from talking a little.
Hi! Sure. But… well, you’d better be prepared for this.
Waku, Torii, Naoto are dead. Amari’s the only one who survived. Tezuka had to retire, not that she had any say in the matter, she’s in coma/vegetative state with little to no hope of regaining consciousness. Happy end.
Sorry for ruining your day with this :(
