極右の顔色ばかり伺って同性婚すら認められない程度の国が先進国を名乗ってるんじゃない、という率直な怒りとともに、正直もうこんなダラダラ意固地になり続けたところで普通に従来型の「夫婦」だの「家族」だのという（ただでさえ時代の変化で無理が出まくっている）単位のオワコン化が早まるだけなのにね、と脱力もしてしまうのだった

ノロマすぎて没落してる日本社会の変化のために動いてくれているありがたい人々がいるんだから大人しく受け入れろってのよ、どうせ「結婚とは男女が〜」とかおしゃべりしてる極右にロクな思想も指針もビジョンもありゃしないんだから

Thank you so much to my wonderful and considerate friend Pearl ( @pearllow.bsky.social ) for getting me an early birthday present! (My birthday is in less than 2 weeks!) It's such a beautiful set and I love it! 💗✨

Pearl is an earnest and warm-hearted person. I'm thankful to have them as my friend!

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen:

- Avenged Sevenfold
- Bullet for My Valentine
- Senses Fail
- Slayer
- Dragon Force

Almost all of the shows I've been to are of metal and metal-adjacent bands. I haven't been to one in 10+ years because life got busy and also COVID happened.

Considering what I listened to and enjoyed as a teenager, it comes to no surprise that I grew up to be a very tattooed adult (and I'm not even done with my tattoos yet):

Please note that Volume 1 was translated by a different translator, Rose Pagette. I did not personally know Rose, but I've been informed by the editor that she had unfortunately passed away before the series finished.

Please also note that this series has an 18+ rating.

Some US libraries (such as the Brooklyn Public Library linked below) also carry this series. So you can check your local library to see if they have it and get it from there, too. 😊

PS. I have to mention that this series is serious and some chapters are quite heavy.

I personally had to lie down for a while to mentally recuperate after translating each volume because it brought back some traumatic memories of the hard times I had back home in Japan.

Black bold text reads “DEATH” up top and “of the heart” at the bottom. A minimal design features a broken heart woven through the DEATH text up top.

One time, my work colleague in Europe noted that I was "a machine" (in a positive way) after I submitted like several dozen translation deliveries in one (very long) day and I was like, "Damn, I am not beating the 'Japanese people work very hard' stereotype 💀💀💀"

Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead.

Life is expensive, things are hard. Drop coins to humans, not AI, or big corporations today.
