Run with the Wind Novel
(official EN release!)
The dream of Kazetsuyo fans to finally get the novel in English has MANIFESTED!!! I'm sure it's later news by now to a lot of us, but just putting it out there because you never know!
I'm not a huge fan of the cover arts of western publishers as much so I'm holding my breath to see how the final cover artwork is going to turn out, especially given the USD pricing they'd be asking for. But I'm hopeful it will be treated more as a classic title than YA. I do not think they'd be able to get rights to have the OG cover art to use so I'd expect them to come up with their own, and so I've been browsing HarperC's range to see what they tend to put out (anything but human stock photos please I am begging, pay for illustrators). These are some of their cover styles I'd at least be all right with...
...with some added caveats I don't care for (though I doubt my feedback counts since I'm not the market they need to appeal to), but can we NOT have those annoying love review bombs plastered all over the covers, please? Who the heck are all these people anyway. If you must, have them on the back of the cover; I swear people do pick up and turn over to read the synopsis. I don't know about you guys, but I personally think they have no business taking up the same space as the author who wrote the dang thing, only acceptable other name will be the EN translator/localizer, as they deserve credit.
But anyway, still good to have an official English version out, it's about time!

dating women is amazing until it feels like "guttural shock and abandonment. fear, anxiety, misery. gut wrenching pain few have ever experienced. all this and more to come tonight at ten" as a wise woman once said.

Went on an easy (paid) guided conservation hike today and am QUITE proud of my stubborn as hell family for absolutely refusing to leave our mom behind when the guide decided in the first five minutes that she wasn't capable of the trip.
Spoilers: we kept catching the group and got to revel in the awkwardness as the guide tried to save face by including us again.

The thing about growing mostly flowers that don't have any scent is that you forget that, sometimes, they do. Quite severely, in fact.
Earlier, I walked by a house with some bougainvillea branches hanging over the wall, with nice pink and white flowers, and the sudden, gentle fragrance was such a delightful surprise.
I felt almost healed from carrying groceries up a 14% hill.

Was coming down the hill so fast that one of the horses got excited and started running :)

best way to make your friend feel bad about underestimating the difficulty of the hike is to throw up on the trail

I don't want to check out of this guesthouse, I just wanna sit by the fire on the tatami mat floor with a pot of green tea enjoying this garden view from their living room 😩 Also sending more Kassandra AC Japan crossover vibe out there 👀
