Quote: I began believing we’d get clear of the city when Tomo screamed, “Jinja-hime!” and pointed at a giant white gecko swimming across a pool collected against a building.

“It’s time,” I thought and said, “I think you had better tell us what’s going on. We’re all worried.”

“I can’t.”

“Sure you can. We’re family,” Kan-chan said, adding her pats to mine. “Family holds our secrets and fears for us. Tell you what, I’ll tell you my secret if you tell us yours. It’s so awful I haven’t even told Shiro or Kao.”

#Review: Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower v.1

#LightNovel #MiriMikawa
English Pub: #JNovelClub
Rating (1-9) 6 (Good)
#Romance #Fantasy AU Chinese Royal Court

Rimi has one skill and one place in the world - Cooking. Sent as a tribute to the royal court on the mainland, she needs to find a new place.

Reminiscent of “The Apothecary Diaries" CCCF is a charming if slightly clumsily handled tale of a woman finding her place and love in the back palace of an AU Chinese Royal Court. The characters are pleasant even if their relationships contrived. (Who insults the Emperor and lives?) It is a good read for anyone who likes series like “The Apothecary Diaries” or “My Perfect Marriage.” Not of the same quality but still worthwhile.

The art, on the other hand, is outstanding. Beautifully rendered with lovely detail. I am sure they pull my estimate of the series up a full point.

The series is complete at 11 volumes and currently free to read for members of J-Novel Club.

LesFicFri "Skin"
For Love of a Konbini Idol

A faceless schoolgirl leads a cow with a human face

Quote: Looking up, I saw they belonged to a schoolgirl in a white sailor suit uniform. Light blue lines accented the collar. It was an old-fashioned sailor fuku, like my grandmother might have worn. The most striking thing about her was her face. Long bangs hung down her forehead, covering where her eyes should have been. The face was entirely blank, an empty white expanse of skin.

As emotionally numb as I was, a shock of fear coursed through me and then subsided. A tree, a youkai girl; what did it matter? If she dragged me off to hell, it couldn’t be worse than the misery I felt.

The girl stood and stared at me, or would have if she had eyes.

Two women in kimono kissing.

Quote: Relief washed over me when Shishi exited the Mayoiga. I broke away from Tomo’s grasp, enveloping her in an enormous hug. I ignored the paper she waved, as well as Kan-chan’s and Tomo’s watching eyes. My chilled body soaked up her warmth, and the scent of violets and sandalwood filled my head as I buried my face in her hair, driving away the spicy odor the Mayoiga favored. The lingering pull of the Mayoiga waned. Her breath warmed my neck, reminding me how much I dreaded losing her. Even with the cocoon the Mayoiga wove, how’d I forget the danger hanging over her?

Wild Ginger in Parting (餞別のフタバアオイ)
By Nara Moore
Art Mai-sensei

Image: Maiyoi-chan by Mai-sensei Image: Maiyoi-chan (舞宵ちゃん). A kitsune woman is standing behind a kitsune. The woman has three bushy tails, fox ears, and a purple kimono with a star and comet pattern. She has pronounced slanted fox eyes.

Quote: As the bus pulled out, I stared out the window filled with excitement and trepidation. In Tokyo, I’d find dancing and singing lessons and, more importantly, auditions for idol units. We passed by a mixture of locals and tourists visiting the castle. I felt only contempt for them. I was leaving this hick place forever!

Then, I saw an unmistakable purple kimono. What was Maiyoi-chan doing here? She hated towns. I touched the wild ginger brooch she’d given me, but pretended not to see her or her waving as I passed. How could I, after abandoning her without even saying goodbye?

“That’s my story. How pathetic. I whine about everyone abandoning me. How am I any better? My family's right. I’m worthless trash.”

Too clunky, too much adolescent girl wish fulfillment, too much patriarchy, too much OP, too superficial. Half way through volume 1 and it's not going to get better.

House of Longing (憧れの家)
By Nara Moore

Image: Titles: For Love of a Konbini Idol, I searched for the Kudan. By Nara Moore Image: (Moth Mountain by Mai-sensei) The four main characters stand looking at Shishi. Left to right: Tomo with messy blue hair and a red jacket is behind Kan-chan. Kan-chan with pink twin-tails and a puffy pink coat is behind Shishi. Shishi has light blue hair worn loosely. She is in front, holding a piece of paper. Red-haired Ume is smoking a cigarette to Shishi’s right. Ume is wearing an open military jacket. Behind them are rocks, four evergreens, and a moth-like mountain.

Quote: “House, we’ll have a feast tonight. You can do a full banquet,” I announced.

Tomo looked puzzled at my announcement, but Kan-chan ignored it and finally spoke. “Forget it; we need to leave.”

“Yeah, we’ve got to get you out of here before the house gets its hooks into us,” Tomo added.

“I don’t know what you’re so worked up about,” I said. “The house takes good care of us. It even caters to our needs. There are two more bedrooms for you and Kan-chan. And you should see the bath…”

One glance at Shiomi raised questions about my taste. In the light, it was clear that she hadn’t washed in days, wore wrinkled clothes, and her unbrushed hair had black roots showing. If I’d touched it, I’m sure my fingers would have come away greasy.

I resisted the experiment and asked her, “You going to be okay? That was pretty close.”

“Where’s my beer?” was her apathetic reply.

I gathered I was on her shit list for interfering and shrugged. I hadn’t saved her, so she would like me. It had been the right thing to do. At least I hoped that was why I’d done it. Still, a little goodwill wouldn’t hurt, so I fished a pack of smokes from my coat. About half remained. I removed one for myself and handed the rest to her.

“Peach, sorry,” I said.

A smile flickered for a second, then disappeared again. “Thanks.”

#Review Finished vol. 4 of “Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden.” It’s a good middle of the road light novel series. I enjoy it. It is hampered from being top-notch by repletive narrative and lack of tension due to an OP MC. It is still good enough that I look forward to reading each volume. I have two more volumes before I am caught up. #LightNovel #JNovelClub #NiaListonTheMercilessMaiden

Sakura and Pine Entwined (絡み合う桜と松)
By Nara Moore
Art Mai-sensei

Image: (“Sakura and Pine Entwined” by Mai-sensei) A man and woman stand in front of a gray wooden Torii gate. The woman on the right wears a pink wedding kimono with a sakura flower pattern. She is holding a flowering sakura sapling. The man is on the left holding a pine sapling. He is wearing a red plaid lumberjack jacket and blue jeans. He has blue hair and is grimacing.

Quote:
          Sakura Bride
          Blessed the Pine Groom.
          Entwined bough,
          Blossoms good fortune
          And eternal bliss.

“Yabai,” I thought. The realization of how precarious my position was flooded me. One wrong step and I would be swallowed by forces beyond my control. This was my last chance to flee.
