I hate when I've read a book that I like enough to buy, but then the cover is terrible. I mean, look at this shit:

It's not the worst I've seen, but it makes the book look like some kind of romcom, it's completely dissonant with the tone, and I hate it.

Meanwhile, look at the Japanese (original) cover for the same novel:

Beautiful, stunning, evocative. Also way more representative of what the actual novel is like to read. The conformity of the tower with odd bits popping and poking out of it, straining against it. This is interesting, I would pick this up off the shelf, whereas with the (North American) cover it has I only read the book because I heard a review that I thought sounded interesting (ironically from someone who didn't even like the book).

I just want to come to the end of the era of minimalist and photograph covers and go back to legit cover art... please

#books #reading #covers #book covers #art #convenience store woman #sayaka murata #literature #Like the book is similar to Camus' The Stranger or Nakamura's The Gun #and they made it look like that #I swear it's because they wanted to capitalize on the idea of '''Quirky Japanese Book!'''(TM)#without giving a care to the book's actual content #probably also has to do with not wanting to make the work of a woman look to philosophical

A few of my favourite commissions so far. No specific reason other than I really liked how these turned out!

You eliminate the parts of your life that others find strange--maybe that's what everyone means when they say they want to "cure" me.

As I got older, being so quiet apparently became a problem in itself. As far as I was concerned, though, keeping my mouth shut was the most sensible approach to getting by in life.

East Asian literature/movies/shows I've been currently enjoying:

The housekeeper and the professor (or my preferred title: Professor's beloved equation) by Yöko Ogawa – Japanese slice of life (find my short review here)

My neighbor Totoro by Studio Ghibli

Revenge: Eleven dark tales by Yöko Ogawa – slice of life-ish horror, truly grew on me

First Love: Hatsukoi – slice of life Japanese romance (find my analysis here), best thing I’ve ever watched

Little Forest – Korean slice of life movie, lots of food shots

Something in the rain – Korean slice of life romance

If cats disappeared from the world by Genki Kawamura – Japanese slice of life meets Goethe's Faust (but executes the trope better)

The guest cat by Takashi Hiraide – the most slice of life book I've read, very meditative

When the weather is fine – korean slice of life romance (find my posts about it here and here)

The Memory Police by Yöko Ogawa – dystopian fiction (if you enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury you'll love that too)

I will be your bloom – Japanese... I don't even know how to describe the genre, it was wild, weird and wonderful, but won’t be everyone’s cup of tea

Sweet bean paste by Durian Sukegawa – Japanese slice of life, excellent in every detail

Your eyes tell – Japanese drama/romance – it wrecked me thank you very much, can't recommend it enough

Please look after my mom by Kyung-sook Shin – Korean drama, very emotional

Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami – Japanese romance, psychological drama, but I wouldn’t call it a favorite

Crash course in romance – Korean rom com, quite enjoyable and fun to watch, really adorable and funny

Nowhere to be found by Bae Suah – a parabolic slice of life short story

Walking Practice by Dolki Min – a horror existential story about being human, not for everyone (tbh not really for me, but I was the editor of the translated version in my country)

Summer strike – aesthetic, calming and full of kdrama (fits the canon 100%), if it wasn’t for the murder case it would be perfect

Turn to me, Mukai-kun – honestly it felt like 90% of the characters on that show were either aro, ace or both and I’m so here for it

The setting sun by Osamu Dazai – a classic when it comes to today’s Japanese literature, I see the value of the story, but didn’t love it as I thought I would

Diary of a Void by Emi Yagi – weird, creepy at times, both comforting and confusing, gave me the same kind of chills as Revenge by Yōko Ogawa

Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata – an amazing short story about intolerance, surface level relationships and the incredible mechanism where men feel entitled to use women both when they conform to social expectations and when they decide to live against them

Doctor slump – heartwarming and emotional, I laughed, I cried, despite being a romance it had a great plot line about mental illnesses

Welcome to Samdal-ri – for everyone who feels overwhelmed by the world and needs a place to return to, very emotional, I cried like a baby more than once, would watch three more seasons of it

May I request Iwai, Yoshida and Maruki and their s/o who likes leaving little sticky notes around the house with the words of adoration and wishing to have a good day at work written on them, please? Thank you!

Finding Sticky Notes Left by Their S/O For Them

Fandom: Persona 5

Character(s): Takuto Maruki, Munehisa Iwai, Toranosuke Yoshida

Type of Request: Headcanons

Note(s): This is super cute, I hope you like what I wrote!!

Iwai

Iwai sees the sticky note from a distance and assumes it’s to remind him of something so he doesn’t forget. Ends up chuckling as he gets closer and sees the “I love you ❤️” written on it

He ends up finding more sticky notes as he goes about his day. He’s just trying to get ready to go to work and he’s already found a small handful of notes you’ve written for him.

If anything, the notes cause him to think of when the last time you and him had a date, just you two. Iwai definitely does some planning.

Probably stops at some flower place that delivers to pay for a bouquet to be sent to you. Just as his way of saying he loves you too.

Maruki

He was going around, trying to find his bento container for lunch when he saw the first sticky note. “You’re amazing!” is what it said in your handwriting. It’s simple but left a smile on his face.

Maruki ended up accidentally finding more sticky notes before he started looking for them, wanting to read all that you wrote him.

When he takes the sticky notes, he makes sure to write his own for you and put them in the spots that yours previously were.

He ends up in a really good mood as he taped your sticky notes in a journal so he doesn’t lose them and he can cheer himself up if he has an off day when he’s away from you.

Yoshida

He had his own sticky notes around the place to help him remember what he needed to do or if there was anything he needed to pick up at the konbini (convenience store).

Yoshida went to grab one of his, only to see another sticky note by it. A smile slipped onto his lips as he read, “I hope you have a good day, love!”

Yoshida would try to find a pen to write a message underneath yours (if there’s room, otherwise he’d find another sticky note for his message).

Honestly gets distracted a bit with wanting to find all of your sticky notes, but realizing he needs to get to work. You can expect a nice dinner later as thanks.

#persona 5 x reader #munehisa iwai x reader #takuto maruki x reader #Toranosuke Yoshida x reader #realizing that since learning japanese i only call conveniences stores konbini #so there's a little japanese word for the day
