Asagiri Kafka’s Manga Forewords (Vol 1-20)

I suddenly feel so down and I don’t even remember the reason why so I have decided to translate all Asagiri’s forewords from vol 1-vol 20 of the manga. I never got the chance to read the English version so I don’t know if the foreword for every volume is included or not. If you have already seen a cleaner, nicer official translation of these, just kindly ignore me. If you have never seen them, I hope this makes your day a little bit brighter :)

Vol 1: The winter is so cold I cannot get out of the kotatsu. Kotatsu, this must be the greatest invention in the history. When I told my friend “I am so glad to be born in Japan where kotatsu is invented”, they told me “There is something similar in Iran called korsi too.” ...Good job, Iran.

Vol 2: When summer comes and the kotatsu is put away, where should I work then? (teary-eyed)

Vol 3: I’m writing this in October, a season when everyone is still in short-sleeves and the coffee shops still have air conditioners on at noon, but I cannot take it anymore. I will take it out. Kotatsu.

Vol 4: When I went to the toilet, I came up with a new adjective called “dazai”, just like a divine revelation. Dear the God of toilet, I’m fine even with useless ideas like that, so please grant me some story ideas. What does that even mean? “Dazai”!

Vol 5: The shock that I received when being told “You are like the green peas on top of shumai” still remains even after 10 years has passed.

Vol 6: Sometimes when I am drowsing, an amazing idea sparks all of a sudden. But most of the time, I just continue to sleep and forget about it.  

Vol 7: You can put chestnuts in rice... That idea is amazing but I once had “rice with strawberry” for my school lunch. The strawberry was all crumpled.

Vol 8: The anime adaptation has been decided. I will also show up in every meeting. Please take care of me. 

Vol 9: I wrote a spin-off novel with one hell of a great title - “Bungou Stray Dogs Gaiden: Ayatsuji Yukito VS. Kyougoku Natsuhiko”. “That” character appears too.

Vol 10: After eating oyakodon with shichimi (TN: a Japanese spice mixture containing 7 ingredients), I unconsciously scratched my eye with the hand that touched shichimi and the world was engulfed in fire. 

Vol 11: Recently, when I am thinking about the story, it has become like the characters’ dialogue is automatically played in the anime seiyuus’ voices. This kind of happiness, we don’t get to see often. 

Vol 12: There is a cat outside my house that always growls with a longgg voice. It is so long that I become worried every time, like “Wil you take a breath...Is your breath okay? Eh? You’re still going? Are you okay?” The other day I tried competing with it by growling just as longgg back and then it became quiet. Somehow, I’m sorry.

Vol 13: I received the samples for the merchandises, so I went out with a merchandised pen case, a merchandised clear file, a merchandised glasses case, a merchandised smartphone cover, and a merchandised T-shirt. People looked at me on the train and in the coffee shop like, “That person must be a super big fan.”

Vol 14: I was looking for something to help me put my headphones on the table nicely, but in the end I found a banana hanger.

Vol 15: Being involved in the production of the DEAD APPLE anime movie was a once in a lifetime amazing experience. Honestly, thank you so much, everyone!

Vol 16: I used to speak sarcasm towards people who were born in Shikoku but cannot name Shikoku’s four prefectures. However, when I mistook my friend’s wedding in Kouchi and arrived at Koumatsu instead, I felt like I have lost that qualification. 

Vol 17: I will also participate in writing the scripts for Season 3 of the anime! This season is amazing too, you know!

Vol 18: In a seafood rice bowl restaurant, all of a sudden the staff shouted “Saa, mondai desu!” (TN: In English, “Okay, I have a question!”) so I got all excited and waited for the question but in the end, it’s just the big salmon bowl (TN: In Japanese, “Saamon Dai desu.”) that came. Now let’s start volume 18. 

Vol 19: I don’t know how to read the name of 匝瑳 city in Chiba prefecture, so I searched for “Chiba prefecture something-city” on the Internet and that city came up as the top result. So people… can not read it either, right? I felt like I have become one with the world.

Vol 20: I watched the stage play “Bungou Stray Dogs Hashigaki”. I was moved to see the Bungou Stray Dogs world being expressed on stage, with all the possible measures against corona being taken. I will be in charge of supervision for the next stage play “DEAD APPLE” too. I have to try my best.

Hey mika. I know this is random of me to ask late at night, but mi d sharing headcannons for kouchi, our favorite cat?

HI YES SORRY the burnout is real

But certainly!

For starters- there’s the obvious “hey, wow, I have a crush on Takuya oh god gay panic what do I d o”

Kouichi is a soft bean, but he does have a limit to how much Actual Bullshit™ that he can tolerate. If you pass that threshold, you better be prepared to RUN.

His patience is still much higher than Kouji’s.

I don’t think he’d outright punch someone, though. I think that he’d cut into you with his words instead.

Which ties into my HC that he’s a writer. :3

He plays DnD, and his favorite class to play? The bard.

I think the squad goes to him for help on their essays once in a while, when they’re really stuck. They don’t wanna bother him.

When really, he’s more than happy to help any time they ask!

He doesn’t like red pen, instead he’ll write critiques/etc in green pen. Red pen hurts his eyes.

While his brother is all about that Norse mythology, Kouichi is super interested in Egyptian mythology. He’s like a walking encyclopedia for ancient Egypt.

Yes this ties into his love for cats a little bit.

I think he’s come up with multiple ways to confess to Takuya prior to love letters. One of those included writing a song and having Kouji sing it.

Kouji said Hell No.

Ironically, he’s scared of the dark.

Kouichi calls emojis emotes.

He’s a lot more forgiving of his mother than he is of his father for the lie. He still has a difficult time trusting her for some time, but he’s a lot more understanding because he knows that she had to keep up the lie.

He does have a nice long talk with her though, advising how he feels knowing that he was lied to for such a long time.

Seeing as he barely knows Kousei, though, he’s a lot more reluctant to pursue a relationship with him knowing what he knows now.

Eventually he does try, though.

On gloomy days, he will write poems for Kouji to translate into music. Those are his best poetry days.

He prefers elevators and escalators, for Obvious Reasons.

In fact, for the longest time he’s very reluctant to use stairs after almost dying.

Sometimes he writes fanfiction. Look. Sometimes things are written poorly, or the ending to a book is Bullshit™, and sometimes fans can write things better. Sue him.

He doesn’t tell anyone though. Until someone finds his fanfiction.net account.

While red pen hurts his eyes, red is one of his favorite colors.

He can make a mean hamburger if he wants to. This makes Kouji jealous. IYKYK.

And I think that’s it.

Enjoy!

🌈 Under the Colorful Sky

A/N: a rewrite of yoimiya's story quest ending and the ending sakujirou and keisuke deserved (ノ_<。) i got so emotionally involved with these two, the ending was so heartbreaking i just wanted to see them together (sob)

￫ pairing(s): Sakujirou/Keisuke

￫ word count: 1.2k

￫ cw: pining! regret! tears!

￫ ao3

🎆

Having beaten the officers from the Tenryou Commission that blocked the way to Keisuke and Sakujirou, the traveler, Paimon, and Yoimyia ran towards the men before it was too late.

"But your return says that you finally came around to my point of view, doesn't it?"

An unknown voice sounded, but it could only belong to the Imatani couple's son, Keisuke.

With the little hope Yoimiya had left, she decided to hide behind a rock that blocked them from view. Aether and Paimon followed her judgment and peaked their heads to look at them.

Half of Sakujirou's body laid on the sandy shore, one hand supporting his weight and the other holding his chest, visibly injured from dueling his old friend.

"Whatever you say," Sakujirou said defeated, staring at the ground.

"You will return with me to the Tenryou Commission to await your sentencing," Keisuke sounded confident.

However, his actions betrayed his words. He only stood there for some time with his arms crossed instead of apprehending the man. Aether sensed that something wasn’t right.

He stopped Yoimiya from barging into the scene, and raised a finger to his lips, urging her to stay quiet.

Reminiscing of the times he had lived with his childhood friend, Keisuke's memories overwhelmed him. He wanted to say what was on his mind but something kept him from doing so, and he didn’t know what exactly to say either.

His body moved on its own, crouching awkwardly before Sakujirou, who looked at him in surprise.

Keisuke kept his eyes low, afraid of making eye contact. But he finally let out the simple words that he had already failed to say once,

“I don’t want you to leave.”

Yet, he wanted to say another phrase. A phrase he had never considered telling anyone in his life before and even after meeting Sakujirou.

He wanted to declare “I love you”.

Keisuke doubted the depth of his feelings for his friend for a very long time. He didn’t want to acknowledge them, but seeing him in that state, defeated and hopeless, stripped of his freedom, he finally gave in to those neglected emotions.

He couldn’t watch the man he loved suffer.

But couldn’t watch him slip through his fingers either, not again.

The thought of feeling the same anguish and regret of those earlier days terrified Keisuke.

Helping Sakujirou into a sitting position, Keisuke couldn’t hold in his tears anymore. Chewing on the words, his lips opened and closed many times.

"Keisuke..." Sakujirou was taken aback, conflicted if he should start speaking despite his reluctance.

He cupped Keisuke's face, wiping the few escaping tears, "My return to Inazuma doesn't mean that I changed my beliefs. Seeing the vast lands and experiencing the diverse cultures the world had to offer was an experience I'll forever cherish, and I do not regret it. I came back because... I felt empty without you. At that time when we had that argument, I ran away instead of confronting my real feelings for you and I'm still afraid of your response."

Keisuke finally raised his eyes to meet Sakujirou's. He wasn't the only one crying.

A wild thought popped into Keisuke's head, maybe what he meant was exactly what he thought he meant. Maybe Sakujirou was saying he loved him as well, but that was too good to be true, right?

"What I am trying to say is that I can't live without you. I want you by my side..." Sakujirou's cheeks reddened as he averted his gaze bashfully. Still, if it weren't to be said now, he wouldn't have another chance to do so, "I'm in love with you."

A few feet from there, Aether nodded knowingly. On the flip side, Paimon and Yoimiya were shocked at the outcome, mouth wide open.

"Guys, I don't think we should be watching, this seems too personal," Aether felt a sudden wave of embarrassment.

"No, no, no. What if- What if he doesn't let Sakujirou go?!" Yoimiya countered, trying her best to sound convincing, but truth be told, she was just extremely invested in the couple's story.

Keisuke's tears now freely dropped. However, not from sadness, but relief.

The years after his beloved set off were filled with sorrow and dismay. But now, all the burden that weighed down on him had been lifted.

He scrupulously embraced Sakujirou, finally feeling the warmth of the person he longed for the most. "I love you too, Sakujirou. I feel the same way as you! When I heard of your return, I didn't know what to do with myself. I wanted to see you so badly I sent officers to every corner of Inazuma to find you, I'm so sorry for the pain I caused you..."

"It's okay now," Sakujirou said between sobs, "I can't put to words the joy I feel at this moment..."

Keisuke parted from the embrace and straightened his face, suddenly recalling something, "Sakujirou, not only for that I am sorry, but for not understanding and dismissing your beliefs. I do worship the Raiden Shogun and I joined the Tenryou Commission to serve her. But now, my role is to forcefully take people's visions, seize people who break the decree, bringing immeasurable pain to the people... I don't want to do that, not anymore."

"Keisuke..." Sakujirou felt his heart break.

"The seasons may change and the years pass, but if I am with you, these factors don't mean anything. The Shogun desires eternity, and so do I. YOU are my eternity, Sakujirou. It doesn't matter where you go from here, I just ask that you allow me to be with you."

It was Sakujirou's turn to jump into the other's arms. Joy felt like it was flowing through his veins, the empty feeling inside his heart was now foreign to him.

With both of their smiles gleaming under the moonlight, the trio that watched the whole scene unfold from afar finally decided to leave, getting ready to watch the fireworks.

Yoimiya was more than excited to set off the fireworks Sakujirou had commissioned her to make previously, trying her best not to think how she ought to be the one to, not only explain to the Tenryou Commission about Keisuke's whereabouts, but also his parents.

When Sakujirou first asked for those specific fireworks, he wouldn't even dream of his wish of watching those fireworks with Keisuke that night coming true. Yet, the situation was even better.

Setting the boat afloat, the two men got on it, rowing the boat a few times before coming to a stop upon the loud noise behind them.

The murky skies of the land of eternity had been let up, the fireworks show started. Colorful beams of light filled the sky one after the other, leaving falling sparks as they ascended and exploded.

Sakujirou and Keisuke watched them rise, their eyes sparkling at the same rate as the sky. Side by side, fingers intertwined, resting on the wooden bench of the small boat. That instant, they felt the urge to see each other's faces on that timeless passing moment.

The coldness of the night and sea was compressed by the warmth they felt as the distance between them closed little by little.

Under the fireworks that night, Keisuke and Sakujirou proved their love for one another, sealing it with their first kiss.

The first of many to come.

—

After the fireworks show, Paimon spoke about the meanings of fireworks to people. As for Kouchi who built the boat, it was friendship and for Keisuke's parents, their engagement.

"And for Keisuke and Sakujirou, they were commemorating, hmm..."

Aether pondered with Paimon, but after some thought, he gave a simple answer.

"Love."

[fynnichi]

Hihi! Can I get a haikyuu boy matchup please? I'm 5'6, she/her, Asian descent with fair skin and medium length straight hair. My love languages are tied between words of affirmation and spending quality time. I'm a perfectionist, I like cleaning/ keeping things in order and for almost my entire life I've based my self worth on my academic pursuits and ambitions (it's only been a year or two since I realised this). I've been told i am super observant and have good intuition. Oh and cafe hopping!

- Ahaha this is part 2 of the match up i requested (miss perfectionist lmao). I love the Korean study aesthetic, boba, skincare and reading philosophy! I am really family orientated and I tend to keep friends at arms length due to some bad trauma/experiences with people i was once really close to. It doesn't mean I'm cold but I don't say anything too personal! I like maintaining aesthetic instagram feeds and I love musicology! really appreciate the efforts you put into your work and keep it up! ^^

Hello! Thank you very much for requesting a match up! And also sorry for taking so long. Uni has been quite stressful these past days, but I was really into finally giving you your match up, so please enjoy!! ⭐ The match up became more of a small one shot,I hope you didn't mind :')

Your match is Sugawara Kouchi! The more I read your application, the firmer my decision became. 

Suga and you have been in the same class, since your first year of middle school and even though he didn't choose Karasuno so he could be in the same class as his classmates, but he was  still pleasantly surprised to see you there as well. 

You noticed each others existence, but weren't particularly close till your 3rd year of high school.

Thats when you noticed that his behaviour changed a bit...he became less focused on his school work and put all his energy in the volleyball club. Sugawara had always good grades, so the little drop wasn't quite dramatic but you noticed it. Not only because your seats were next to each other, but more because you would always be watching him from a safe distance. You couldn't really pinpoint when your interest for the pretty white haired boy started, but you didn't really mind. You didn't plan on getting close to him anyway.

But one day something happend,that you didn't expected. He asked you to tutor him,since your grades have been good for as far as he could remember. And since there wasn't really a reason to decline, you accepted it.

That was the beginning of your Monday sessions. He would come to your place and you would usually study for some hours. Sometimes more,and sometimes less, depending on if Sugawara wanted to talk to you more.

At first you felt extremely awkward and stressed. You would clean your room the night before and prepare everything, so he wouldn't think bad of you. But after about a month,you stated to enjoy your weekly study dates. And so did Suga. He didn't had any ulterior motives when you asked for your help, but he found it really cute, how helpless you were and how much effort you made to help him out. As a thank you, he would buy you cakes or other sweets to eat while studying and soon he would start to look forward to Mondays in general.

It took around 3 or 4 months till he realized that his affection for you was more than gratitude or sympathy. That he started to look for any reason to talk to you and that he wanted to shower you with little presents and compliments. 

You felt like his calming charm. Everything about you and around you seemed so soft and tidy. Exactly what he needed, when he felt unsure about himself and his life. When training was chaotic and hard, he knew that he could just be with you and enjoy some quite quality time, without the need to look out for something. 

So right before your finals he gathered all his courage and asked you out. He bought a little bracelet as a final thank you gift, since it was supposed be your last tutor session. His head became more and more red and honestly..he wasn't even sure if you liked him back. He knew that you liked to keep your distance, but couldn't figure out how to overcome it. So he thought that a confession would maybe give you a little push to finally realise your own greatness and worth. He wanted you to trust him and to lean on him.

But you couldn't believe what he was saying...panic rose inside of you,since you never expected him to confess. But seeing his expression, the panic shifted into happiness. He was serious. You softly accepted his confession and after your finals, you started to date. But it didn't feel much different then the time you used to spend together before. But that was good...it was already perfect the way it was between you.

Izumi: It has been 10 years now! I am 21 and currenty i’m majoring in culinary studies (aka chef) , sometimes i work as model on my free time. It´s kinda rough, but I know I can do it!  I really feel sorry for Tomoki, he and Takuya are the ones who test all my food experiments. Actually he is now a freshman in uni! He wants to become a teacher, and help students in trouble, i think he has become a really nice person, he has grown up a lot,  i’m so proud of him. ;-;

Kouji: I don´t know where to start. A lot has changed. Mom married again. He really looks like a good guy and Kouichi and Mom like him, so I am okay with that. I am working at a bar,  as a bartender and  sometimes they let play there. I wanto to travel so i’m trying to save money. I  want to explore my country first then  probably i’ll visit some places in Asia.  

Kouchi occasionally joins me, when he’s not busy with work or school or his boyfriend, he’s now majoring in arquitecture, and has a side job at a little coffe shop next to our uni. 

I’m currently majoring in visual & media studies. My dad hates it, but i’m genuinely enjoying it.

Junpei: Oh boy! A lot of things has happened! I am curently studying engineer in mechanics. All the weird ideas i wanted to make in the digital world i can now make it in real life.  Takuya and I are in the same college, so he visits me time to time. Probably he hopes to find a Iron Man thing or something. He still plays soccer and is studying health and fitness. He oftens gets to travel to really cool places thanks to that,

(Sorry for low quality, my phone is shit)

These are some old redesigns of Daisuke and Iori's Digital World outfits I made a couple months ago, along with V-mon and Armadimon. Probably around March, I think?

I never got around to redesigning the other 02 kids (i didn't really get invested in 02 until I recently rewatched it), though I did make some redesigns for the Frontier kids (minus Kouchi, sadly).

Digiotpweek day 27: Crossover

I can’t believed, but I actually writhe something for the Digiotpweek. Enjoyed!!

Dark landscape

Pairing: KarixKouchi

Digimon/Croosover. 

Kari backs to the dark ocean and found a stranger. 

The days had becoming longer, like the drops of water on the rain, like the waves of the ocean on the coast. The travel of the sun for the sky felt longer and longer and at the same time less brigther

The darkess returned at her eyes, at her life, at her light. On that way where it looks like a tired day or a quite girl or a stress headache; she didn’t alarm at anybody, she just walk slowly when she was alone until her feet get wet on the dark ocean.

Tailmon, her brother, T.K., Yoley,  at any moment some one would note her absent.  

The little creatures made a circle around her, even with their creepy appearance they don´t look dangerous.

- What do you want for me? – said Kari – you know I can shine when I want – she lie, she know that right know she couldn’t.

The sadness and the emptiness had been stuck on her heart. After all the battles and all the strenghth won, she still feels those lonely days sometimes. Days of hands off and lazyness, when she want to go slow when everything was moving fast.

- We had a new lord – the creatures spoke – we talk him about you and he wants to know you.

- I don’t care about your lords! – she scream – Leave me, go away.

But the creatures didn’t listen, whit their cold hands drags Kari for the dark beach until a dark cave when the water enters and the rise get high.

A wave erase a criature, a second one rise the tide, the cry of the creatures that return at the sea and the water covering the girl, and the darkness cold and lonely. And then the quiet. The silent of her with her toughts. And the calm with out fear. And then fear, and the wave had pass.

She was wet, but no clean. A dark figure stand in front of her, tall, black armor and a lion head.

 - That’s it, that´s the light about we were talking you, my lord – said the only creatures that remains.

- Leave me! – cry Kari – I want to come back.

The dark leomon looked her terrified.

- Oh god- he said – I’m so sorry please calm.

- My lord –the creature spoke.

- You can leave- answered the dark leomon – go with your brothers and sisters.

Kari stand up and looked at her capture defiend him, with one hand on her digivice and the lips at one word to swear.

As soon as the last creatures retired  a  black shinning cover the dark leomon and from the shinning come a boy, not older than Kari, with big eyes and a concerned look.

- My name is Kouchi – said the boy – the creatures invite me here sometimes, they want me to be their king or something. I don’t know they can invite other people.

- Invite? – asked Kari – they don’t invited me, they drag me here.

- Sorry – said the boy – I had never come here with out wanted it.

- Why would you want to come here?

A surprised look cross the face of the boy.

- Well, I don´t know – he said – it helps me went I want to be alone or when I want calm, also, is kind of beautifull here.

Kari looked him doubting. He holds a digivice diferent at any that she had seen before. The waves crush the enter of the cave again and the young boy lost his eyes on the landscape. Purples and black cross the water and the skies.

- It’s like a painting don’t you think? – said the boy –

- Its just darkness – Kari said – the sad and the dark thougths, all of them come to here and create this.

- Is this what it is? – he asked surprise.

- It’s just darkness, what do you thougth it is?

Kouchi down his head, his hand move nervous for his hair.

- My digi spirit represent the darkness, it is pure and strong but it’s harmless.

The horror on the eyes of the girl.

- Don’t come close – she spoken.

Kouchi rise his head, slowly and Kari could see tears on his eyes.

- It was never my intention to hurt anybody – he wishper while he sit down over the sand of the beach – now the digi spirit is pure, I told you is harmless.

- The darkness is never harmless .

He turn over her, glances agains each other, she coul see the pain that caused her words.

- I come here to be alone – he said as the dark light cover him again –and  I don’t want you here.

He rise a hand and move the dark mater behind she, a black hole on the wall and she was gone.

The beach of her own world and her own night.

Kari heard the calls of her brother and go home.

She doesn’t spoke about the dark ocean or the strange kid. But she started to stare long before the sunset, watchin the ocean, black wave crashing against the beach and the night and the peace and those dept blues dancing over.

Until the lazy days come back, and she felt the sad as a tide travel inside her, and she let it come. As the sun let the night pass. She moved her steps slower, she spoke a little less, smiles a little less and when some one  ask, she could said, no I’m not all right, but it´s okey.  And it was kind of beautifull.

She found herself again on the dark ocean, on that dark cave when the waves crashing again the purple sand. And the boy with big eyes and dept words was there too, sitting over the sand watching the sea merge the sky.

She walked with calm and sit next to him.

- I’m sorry – she said – I’m sorry if I offended you.

He turn his head and smile, shyly, truly smile.

- You was right – she continues while made and effort and return her eyes at the landscape – its kind of beautifull here.

The purples join the blacks and the dept blue, the waves run and created spirals and the clouds get greys like almost white. And on the sky appears the moon, not full, but bigger than ever had been seen on the dark ocean, just a little smile over the waves.

The beginning

Summary: It was the promise to his grandmother that kept him going, seeking out the answers he would know the truth.

“Kouichi,” My grandmother called out to me. “Come here.”

I slowly walked forward, stood by her bedside.

“What is grandmother?” I asked.

“I want to tell you something,” She whispered, taking my hand into her own. “I have sent a letter to you in mail and to another. When the letter comes to you please no matter or what you feeling please follow the letter.

“Don’t worry, grandma, I promise.” I assured.

Not two days after grandma had passed away. True to her word, a letter came addressed to me with the following:

Dear sweet Kouichi,

I’m sorry that my time with you was short but the years we spent together I will never forget and neither should you. But this not what I wanted to talk about, Kouichi you are so kind and innocent but you have learn to be expressive. You are young and have a big heart but it is okay to get angry, it is okay to cry. Kouichi, I know you didn’t want to feel as a burden so you never put yourself before others but you must. Your mother is much like you. Kouichi, but if she continues on this path she will come join me here so Kouichi help your mother and tell your mother your true feelings. Please Kouichi.

Kouchi I also wanted tell you another thing, you have a twin brother. A younger twin brother named Kouji who lives with your father. Don’t judge neither your mother or father. They tried to do their best to raise both together but both your parent’s stubbornness got in the way so give them a chance to explain things. I want you to meet your brother. I have arranged a meeting with your brother please meet him Kouichi.

-Love grandma.
