if i had a nickel every time i consumed a piece of media where the male protagonist meets a well-spoken man of a higher class than him, crosses the boundaries of the professional relationship they were supposed to have, is later suddenly abandoned by said man, becomes so tortured by the memories of him that he recklessly goes after him, then meets a member of his family on the way, and eventually reunites with him at a museum in europe as they both stare at an art piece – i'd have two nickels, which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

just started reading the case files of jeweler richard (i remember watching the anime a few years and just never had the time to read the light novels) and i'm so mad at how underrated this series is, it's so lovely! it's just very warm and therapeutic and full of gentle care, i wish more people knew how good it was!
the official english translations for the first 8 novels are out and i think the 9th is being released soon! please read it - it touches on so many important issues and is just a delight to read!

Jeweler Richard & Seigi no Mikata really be my fave duo
Been catching up with the LN for the past 3 days and cb that vol 06 is will be released 2 months from now so how long before the copies reaches PH shores, I wonder *sobs in lapiz lazuli*
While I love the individual stories for JR, I still wonder about some phrases and terms if it were in Japanese. Still wish we have footnotes, @sevenseasentertainment ー still, amazing job for this wonderful series!!! Keep at it, love you!
I've been stewing in feels for a good year already and I reaaaaaally want more folks to read The Case Files of Jeweler Richard like some bits that I love would be
How Richard + Seigi dynamics is a journey from being boss × part-timer to being less friends, less lovers ー just plain love as Seigi puts it
Analyzing every Richard + Seigi interaction, they have the most subtext-laden conversations and reading about every nuanced expression makes every volume a treat
Tanimoto's character is so well put together ー relatable on how love can be such a foreign concept but shows such positivity in exploring more about this aspect of herself which makes ot so hopeful and beautiful
Lots of facts about gemstones, like I find myself searching to double check and it is such a delight how Tsujimura-sensei put a lot of palatable info into each story (surprise I remember most of 'em, yay)
Yukihiro-sensei makes the most beautiful covers I just wanna cry like we're having Richard hime moments & Seigi's maturing as well
I mean look at vol 05, Richard has no reason to look that delicate
We have a long, long, long way to go and I am on board with reading up until we reach the latest vols

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard (Novel)
3 volumes in English as of 4/18/2023. Ongoing.
Licensed by Seven Seas
This highly acclaimed mystery tale about a young man teaming up with a handsome jewelry appraiser inspired a popular anime–and a manga adaptation (also from Seven Seas)! Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian is a brilliant and enigmatic British jewelry appraiser. Seigi Nakata is a young college student. Their worlds are as different as can be, but when a chance encounter leads Seigi to hire Richard to appraise a family heirloom, it sparks a partnership that goes well beyond that one job. Together, the duo investigate jewelry-related cases and solve mysteries, finding the secret messages hidden in the hearts of precious stones–and the hearts of those who possess them.

This!!! ANNNDDD Vince too, he's been getting on my nerves all through them damn sentences I be reading him on being cryptic and just being a complete obsessive weirdo helping Octavia like bro this was your boss how many years ago..? And you spied on him....and you were mad at him when he did nothing to you but be your boss soooo....???? Huh?? 😭
So I finished volume 7 and am currently halfway through the first case of volume 8, and… unless I missed something, I seriously hope the reason for Octavia, this 17 year old girl, taking revenge on the Claremont brothers(Richard, Jeffrey and Henry) isn’t because Jeffrey caused the break up between Deborah and Richard… because that’s honestly kind of ridiculous.
From what I’ve read so far this seems to be the reason why she’s been doing what she’s doing(Seigi’s passport info getting leaked, somehow managing to rope Vincent into this whole thing and getting him to place the jewel into Seigi’s pocket which caused him to be accused of stealing, and if succeeded would’ve been really bad for Seigi). And she’s still going to do more.
I want to believe there’s another reason for her vengeance. Really, I hope there is. A reasonable one that’s enough for her to have done all that to Seigi and the Claremont brothers. Because right now she just looks like some crazy fangirl who’s blackmailing and threatening people because her favourite ship didn’t become canon. Since I’ve only started volume 8, it might be revealed later, or maybe even in volume 9 or 10.
That aside, Seigi managed to learn basic French in just two weeks and sound native enough that the taxi driver asked him how long he has been in France and if he’s living here and not believe him when Seigi said he was just a tourist and this was his first time speaking the language to a French person. Wow, Seigi.

I should absolutely be going to bed now for work tomorrow, but I finished vol 8 of Jeweler Richard tonight and just wanted to put down some thoughts and feelings I had on it, even if they’re not all particularly coherent or in any real order. May add more later on.
SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 8 OF JEWELER RICHARD AHEAD
A lot of folks found vol 7 a bit hard to read, and this one still had some heavy themes, with the treatment Seigi faces from the house flippers, the hurt and misunderstanding within Richard’s family, and the shadow of the butler’s group and Octavia and their plotting amidst it all. But I still found a lot of joy and catharsis in this one that made it a very moving read and maybe in some ways easier than 7.
The biggest theme of this book for me was mothers and their children. Richard and his mother Catherine, of course, but also his mother and grandmother, and Seigi and his mother. If vol 6 was cathartic in helping Seigi realize he does not have to become like his father, that he is not somehow tainted by his past suffering with his father, he is worthy of love and care, and that he can cut his bio father out of his life completely and move forward to heal, then this touched on a different type of painful family relationship. Someone you’re very similar to, close to, clash with, become distanced from, but you still have some feeling or care for each other. You can get under each other’s skin. No one sees Richard the way his mother does, and vice versa. Seeing their journey in this book gave me a lot of feelings and was very relatable. Sometimes its the family members you were closest to who can make you the angriest. Seigi was such a good supportive friend to Richard throughout this and their love was very evident. One of my favorite scenes was when Richard and Catherine’s tension finally came to a head with her argument about how he treats Seigi and Seigi finally gets to speak up and set her straight.
Richard seeing then just much Seigi loves him and would stay by his side, unlike past friends who’d sided with his mother, was so touching. Then Catherine testing Seigi at the end. I think she was just as touched, after the initial anger subsided. This book presented a really human, fallible, nuanced view of motherhood. Hearing her story about being called beautiful and then it all stopping really shed some light on what must have happened between her and Richard’s father, her mind went there as soon as she saw the Amazonite. She wants better for her son, despite any of their bickering. I was happy to see them get to a place of maybe a little more understanding at the end with Richard calling her Maman. Maybe through Seigi’s support, he was able to move past some of his old hurt from that time with his childhood friends at the villa. Catherine even seems in a better place, knowing her son has someone like Seigi by his side.
Seigi’s own attempts with Hiromi at the end really broke my heart, but it was very realistic, and I’m still proud of him. He’s grown so much. Instead of getting too down or upset, he accepts that’s not where they’re at yet and recognizes his own part in that. They would have a lot more healing to do to try to make any change, if they can, but he reached out and has given their relationship more thought after all of this. I hope he can go see her and his stepdad soon. I could feel his relief that his stepdad was home now and she was safer. I hope he can return to Tokyo and feel better there in time too, he deserves it. His homesickness and his happiness to see Haruyoshi in this volume really touched me too. I’ve always felt a bit split between two countries and could feel a bit of how he did to hear the language of his home. 💕
Random other thoughts, in jumbled order:
I want to hug Jeffrey and for him to have more friends, no more playing the “villain”, give him all the souvenirs. Him pretending he doesn’t read Seigi’s blog was gold lol
Jeff, I too want to give Seigi headpats
Hugs also for Haruyoshi and Henry, they’re so cute I love their friendship
Loved Haruyoshi and Seigi’s conversation about being “off the rails” and forging their own path, and how much they connected meeting up this time after college and supported one another. Their friendship is lovely and it felt like a warm hug seeing them have fun and laugh together
Seigi feeling okay enough to take photos and put a few on his blog, and even post a blog at all, was such a sign of his healing
Richard probably should have warned Seigi more clearly about how some folks in the countryside might treat him, but I understand he didn’t want to worry him that all people might be like that one couple either. I’m happy Pierre was good to Seigi. Also Richard is human and imperfect too and that’s okay, he realized the potential error in not warning him, stood up for Seigi and apologized. Catherine should have listened closer when Seigi told her he was going to paint, and Seigi I wish had resisted that whim to help, but I understand where Seigi was coming from, and Catherine’s got her shortcomings and that can’t all change at once
Seigi recalling the rules of Etranger not to discriminate after this 🥺 coming full circle with understanding them and with understanding the feeling of Etranger being abroad
Catherine wanting to help roll up Seigi’s pantlegs to wade in the river—how many times must she have done that for young Richard during his childhood in their summers at the villa 🥺 some motherly instincts are still in her, there was some real care between them. Richard remembering she's lactose intolerant. They mean something to each other
Vince I’m sure you have a good heart and your reasons and all but I still kinda wanna throw hands with you sometimes. Stop being so mysterious and cryptic. I figure he’s trying to look out for Octavia and maybe Seigi somehow, but his method of playing the “villain” aggravates me far more than Jeff’s does so far. He even makes Seigi go bark bark sometimes xD
The conversation in the hole with the treasure HOW DID SEIGI WALK AWAY DURING THAT? He compartmentalizes like no other. Richard was really showing his feelings more in this volume. For a while I was unsure if he had a fever or was blushing furiously from embarrassment, shame, or some other overwhelming combo of feelings. His praise of Seigi and questioning why he would stay by him… oof in the feels
“You don’t want to sleep with me?” RICHARD TOOK ME OUT xD Seigi.exe stopped working
Seigi saying he’s not “especially vulnerable” to Richard’s sad face, ah the unreliable narrator evidence continues to pile up
Him reaching out towards Richard before they go to sleep 🥺 they were adorable sharing the room
Richard blanket burrito, honey I hate mornings too, he wanted Seigi to see him “well coiffed” 😂😂😂
Richard keeps getting compared to Sherlock Holmes in this volume and plays a violin, thank you for the food, Sensei. He was already British, very intelligent and a boxer, I’ll add this to the list
Seigi’s and Richard’s happiness during the conversation where Richard calls Seigi his friend was so so adorable and precious, these cute fools can’t even walk properly after lol
Is French solitaire similar to mancala or am I way off? That’s what I was picturing
Richard and Seigi would be very cute on a tandem bicycle
Them both wanting to take panoramic photos after big moments to remember them, cuties, anytime Richard borrows a line of Seigi’s
Loved all the artist references in this one, pander to the art nerds please yesss, once again thank you for the food
All the actual food sounded so delicious. Seigi just casually whipping up bouillabaisse from an online recipe his first time 🤌🏼 *chef’s kiss*
All the times Seigi wanted to make Richard sweets, but also the time he WITHHELD THEM to get Richard to cooperate and talk 😂 I’m convinced I hallucinated that scene and I just read it today, I wanna reread
In the early parts, Sensei loves to fake us out and build suspense by making the reader think we’re gonna see Richard / have Richard and Seigi reunite 😆 It happened THREE times this vol with Jeff (as soon as he described the person’s skin as sickly I was like I can’t see Seigi saying that even if Richard was ill, but aww Jeff is going through it), then Haruyoshi where Seigi kept being so vague and just saying he was meeting a friend, and then finally Catherine whos doing the most entertaining herself with Richard cosplay to test Seigi 😂 Sensei got me good EVERY TIME
He may frustrate me at times, but I like Vince’s gamer side and his fashion sense. Gimme the phoenix jacket and the pink sneakers thankss. Probably the only time he enjoyed himself in this book was geeking out with Pierre about FPS games
There's a theme of masks in this book, of people behaving differently or performing a role outside of their true selves, for whatever purpose: Jeffrey playing the villain, Catherine playing the hostess, Vince playing Octavia's spy. But all these characters have sides to them underneath this that are hinted at or shown outright, and that mask slips away. Seigi can see through Jeffrey's and Catherine's pretty well, but he's still figuring out Vince
Seigi and his new doggo Jiro 🥺 I NEED THEM TO BE SAFE
THAT CLIFFHANGER?!?!? VINCEEEE
Will probably edit this to add more as this book spins around in my brain further until the next volume. Formatting on my phone is the worst so my apologies if it’s all over the place here. 😅
