River of Heaven

My very first prose fiction sale is up!

River of Heaven, at Strange Horizons: a love letter to traditional Japanese sweets and modern Japanese subway stations. Long may they co-exist!

Thank you!

The comments about it reminding people of manga are my favorite ones. ;)

It's a wonderful story, and I'm so happy it's up!

[rachelmanija]

Thank you!

Oh, it's lovely! It is SO MANGA! Also, I hadn't realized you had used the scarf story, and I love grumpy angel and Heaven breaking and the pomeranian in a sailor suit!

[rachelmanija]

Yes! Best commission ever! I'm so happy you liked it (and my favorite comments are the ones that say SO MANGA.)

PS. Icon JUST FOR YOU.

BWAHAHAH! Thank you! I am actually dying to know what non-manga readers think of your story just because it reads as so very manga to me! (Yami no Matsuei + X?)

Antique Bakery + Angel Sanctuary!

[laurashapiro]

And it's lovely! A gift. Thank you for it.
