I also found what I thought was the first Fruits Basket volume in Japanese, but turned out to be the new Fruits Basket series in Japanese. The main characters look exactly like Tohru and Kyo, so I had no idea. I’m not upset about it—I’m happy to support the author of my favorite manga. I purchased both and Sanseido covered them for me as well.

Japan was beautiful but I do love this city after all.

what does your ideal morning look like? here’s my morning surrounded by books, sunshine, breakfast and a cozy film 🥹🍵🍂📖 i’m currently reading the burning god (!!!) and anne of green gables (as a palette cleanser 🥲), and loving both books so so much!! ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CqnUsFTP0p9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kitazawa Bookstore is so beautiful that they have a sign up limiting each visitor to 6 photos (I actually tried to count while I was there and somehow left with 7 anyway). It’s just a old-school feeling bookstore, all dark wood and tall shelves. It specializes in books in the English language. I was proud of myself for not walking away with a stack (my self-control was at an all-time high, even if it was only because I hurt my back the day before and didn’t want a heavy backpack).

Does Declan Lynch count? Because The Dreamer Trilogy completely upended my perception of him.
