During the 31st year of Seika, the battle between the Library Force and the Media Improvement Committee reached a new level of violence. Each group has armed itself for either the freedom of expression or the "protection" of society from the bad influences of media. Kasahara Iku joins the Library Force with the intent of finding her "Prince" who helped her during a censorship exercise by the Media Improvement Committee and with her strong will of protecting books.

i'm rewatching toshokan sensou/library wars with a friend and god,my love for it always hits me so hard. i love and adore it so much.

[ljf613]

Me in high school, while reading Library Wars: Love & War: "This is so dystopian and scary, boy am I glad there's no chance anything like this could ever really happen, especially here."

Me now, while rereading Library Wars: Love & War: "This is the actual near future, isn't it? Forget that, this is an optimistic take on the near future, huh?"

ToshoSen 5 et calendrier

La sortie s’est un peu fait attendre (la faute en partie à 2 rhinopharyngites et une grippe), mais elle vaut le coup !

Dans ce cinquième chapitre de Toshokan Sensou / Library Wars LOVE & WAR Bessatsuhen, Iku partage un moment avec la famille Dojo le temps d’un dîner. Fort heureusement pour elle, sa famille est très accueillante et ouverte, même si Shizuka la petite sœur est un vrai phénomène !

Pour celles et ceux qui suivaient mes traductions sur tumblr, sachez que ce chapitre s’accompagne des extras publiés dans le volume relié : 3 histoires/anecdotes très courtes qui se déroulent pendant le 1er chapitre, lorsque Dojo était encore hospitalisé. 

En plus de ce chapitre, vous trouverez également en téléchargement les scans du calendrier Hana to Yume 2020 avec cette année 15 illustrations !

La sortie du weekend, c’est le 4ème chapitre de Toshokan Sensou LOVE & WAR Bessatsuhen. Les congés de fin d’année approchent et Iku désespère d’être trop prise pour partager un moment avec son instructeur chéri. Quand vient enfin le temps des vacances, un coup de téléphone impromptu va bouleverser tous ses plans.

Bonne lecture !

Happy Birthday Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Nov 11)

A happy 36th birthday to that darn “ikemen” seiyuu. Uh, he definitely isn’t my favourite, and I haven’t really listened to OLDCODEX so I wouldn’t know much about him. To me, he’s an okay voice actor. I haven’t been wowed that much by him, and his range isn’t as big as other voice actors like Akira Ishida or Mamoru Miyano. I don’t listen to OLDCODEX songs, and I haven’t watched a lot of Tatsu’s big roles. I also don’t listen to anything R18. I’m sure there are some people on Tumblr who can educate though! I’ll include some subbed clips below!

His live-action acting is absolute crap, but arguably the whole scene that I’m about to link is bad. You can watch that here.

Notable Roles

Atsuhiro Kagari - Akkun to Kanojo

Yuuji Sakamoto - Baka to Test

Kouyou Akizuki & Owner - Blend S

Shinya Hiiragi - Owari no Seraph

Kazunari Takao - Kuroko no Basuke

Aleister Chamber - Kuroshitsuji

Hiroomi Nase - Kyoukai no Kanata

Prosciutto - Jojo Part 5

Ban - Nanatsu no Taizai

Tsubaki - Servamp

Yutaka Hasebe - Servant x Service

Haru Yoshida - Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Ranmaru Kurosaki - Uta no Prince-Sama

Makoto Tachibana - Free!

He’s quite a funny guy! Some of his radio segments are funny, but some of them are really cringy. I will explain that a little further later on. I don’t really have much to recommend since I haven’t watched a ton but here it is.

Library Wars Clip | Utapri Punishment Game | Calling his Mom on Radio | Nanatsu no Taizai Compilation | His Meme-Worthy Face | Servamp Radio | His Relatable Lunch Story | His Story about His First Love

Now for the not-so-okay ones. Not gonna lie, I don’t know why the radio director for the radio show let all of this pass. Tomoaki Maeno said that he never heard the end of it from his agency of how crude the radio show for this shoujo anime was. The anime is called Library Wars/Toshokan Sensou.

*(You have to click the original post’s “keep reading” since it’s a reblog for the last two)

Basically, in short, he talks about the scenario of him going into an all-girls school and saying that he wants to see them changing and how he wants to see uniforms and mini-skirts which he has… quite a strong connection to (he was yelling about it at the top of his lungs). He talks about that if someone said they fell in love with him at first sight, he’d want to take them to a hotel. He talks about wanting to see a girl’s underwear and goes into great detail about his… arousal and wants (referring to the last link which is quite… something).

6, 23, 46, 51, please. and welcome back!

ただいま！/ Tadaima! *hearts*

This fanfic meme. Warning: long answers!

6. List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

I guess I should take “involved in” to mean “at least moderately obsessed at some point”? haha. Cos there’s maybe only 1-2 fandoms that I’ve actively contributed to, ever...

In no particular order:

Shingeki no Kyojin: RivaMika (Levi x Mikasa) (as if you can’t tell that from my blog)

Wotakoi: KabaHana (Kabakura x Koyanagi)

Psycho-Pass: GinoAka (Ginoza x Akane)

Toshokan Sensou / Library Wars: DoIku (Dojo x Kasahara)

SAO: KiriAsu (Kirito x Asuna)

Naruto: SasuSaku (Sasuke x Sakura)

Bleach (before it completely went down the drain after arc 2): IchiRuki (Ichigo x Rukia)

And though I’m not seriously into BL, I’m apparently hiding a secret fujo somewhere(?) because I also ship:

Yuuutsu na Asa: Akihito x Katsuragi

Yami no Matsuei: Tsuzuki x Hisoka (reversible)

Saiyuuki: Hakkai x Gojyo (+ their past incarnations & reversible)

Haikyuu: KageHina (Kageyama x Hinata)

I swear there’s a pattern here... it seems I am irresistibly attracted to characters who have serious difficulties expressing their emotions and I like a lot of pain in my relationships...

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.

Gotta be Red Velvet Cake. 

Because it’s just... bizarre hahaha. I mean, who literally puts a frosting recipe in the middle of a fic? I went crazy with that piece. It was for a Valentine’s Day prompt challenge to boot... I seriously wanted to trap/shock everyone with a totally unexpected, really DARK story that turned out to be nothing like what the title suggested.

I completely blame this little fic misadventure on all the Gothic/post-modern lit studies I did in school; that module wrecked my psyche permanently. And in true post-modern style, I went all fragmented stream-of-consciousness with it, stirred in a totally unreliable narrator and sprinkled it with a dash of retro pop culture references. It was so much fun to write. And even more fun to see how people reacted to it lol.

Gosh. Talking about it makes my muse all excited. I must try another one of these bad boys one day. Heh.

46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

Definitely The Endgame (hey, I took this title LONG before the last Avengers movie was a thing ok). I consider this one of my best pieces of writing to date, though it’s not really popular amongst my readers (sigh. universal truths.). 

This piece is DENSE in imagery and references. (might even argue a little TOO dense; it’s teetering on that fine line between intellectual and overly affected). I did a heck of a lot of research on chess gambits for this one too, which was tough to get right because I’m not actually a chess player. 

Special mention of @fuku-shuu and @magikarp-diem-blog because they started all the chess prompt nonsense. (good times. where are you guys? I miss my old tumblr fam :( but I shouldn’t talk cos I was the first one to go AWOL.....)

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Er... can I have 3? and they’re all going to be negatives because I’m just a natural critic =P

I hate self-inserts with a passion. I just cannot get into the fic when every other line is screaming “you! reader! yes you! this is YOUR fantasy! let me fanservice you in most plastic way possible!”

The second thing I (honestly) hate is how much really bad fic there is out there. Like you have to go through 20 or more terrible fics to find just one really really good one. (or maybe I’m just searching the wrong way, or using the wrong platform). Ratings/likes don’t necessarily mean anything. Sometimes I really want to read fic, but I get so tired of trying to find that one passable piece that I just give up.

The third thing I hate is WRITING FIC SUMMARIES. Like I’ve spent so much energy getting the ACTUAL fic right, and then I have to condense it to something that will fully convey how interesting the fic is, and yet not give too much away. I know it’s important to hook a potential reader in, but I feel like a fraud when I have to write a summary for my own fic lol.
