Summary
Narumi’s heart gallops and it’s so loud he presses his hands over his chest, as if the troublesome beating can be silenced, which makes Hoshina think he has chest pains. They spend a minute distracted by that, Narumi coming up with more and more absurd reasons why he was clutching his chest like he wanted to tear his heart out and eat it. Hoshina’s throwing him off course again, dammit.
“Aren’t you going to tell me what Div you’re in?”
“No can do,” Hoshina concludes. “It’s more fun that way.”
Narumi’s strange affection and goodwill evaporate.
“What’s more fun?” he asks. Narumi’s going to have to spend hours stalking Kaiju Slayers’ profiles to find him. What’s with the secrecy?
“You’ll find out soon,” Hoshina says in lieu of a reply. “I’m not First Div, though.”

Summary
Ever since Louis died, Owen’s nightmares have stayed consistent: a white-haired man with Louis’s face tied to a pyre and burnt alive, flames licking up the peeling wood of a building; screams, blood, claws, hell opening under him, hell opening within him. He’s memorised the settings he sees in these phantasmagoria: cobweb-filled forests, leviathan bodies of water, a walled town he fears atavistically, inexplicably.
His research of the place in his mind has matched with the description of the ancient, mythical town of Oakhurst. The one filled with vampires, if the myths are true.
Whoever’s given him this book can’t have seen what he dreamed of, can they? He opens it and coughs, flapping the dust out of his face.
At fifteen, Owen meets Louis, who changes his life.
At thirty-four, Owen lives a magically mundane life with Legundo, until a book shows up on his doorstep.

Summary
She walks up to a herald announcing the ball on the lamplit streets. “Can I go?” she asks them eagerly.“Anyone can enter,” the herald tells her. “Princess Iroha is not picky regarding her choice of spouse. She is looking for her true love. But there is a dress code.”
Their eyes run down Kaguya’s tattered dress, her wrinkled cape, and the crumbs of dirt on her feet and under her nails. What can she say? It was a really narrow escape that time. Those Moon Kingdom stalkers are getting scarily good.
So good, in fact, that she only has three days here before the Moon Kingdom delegates catch up, if she calculates right. What a pity.
Princess Kaguya of the Moon Kingdom meets Princess Iroha of Tsukuyomi three times. Once is all it takes to fall in love.

Summary
It hits him all at once when Akutagawa is just sitting by the window reading. On the battlefield, blood rolled down Akutagawa’s pale cheeks, and his body became a knife: his lithe limbs wrapped in that impenetrable dark, each tapered to a point, and his black helmet, sharp as the prongs of the moon, covered his calm, steady eyes, in them the wax and wane of the inky night tide.
Now he is armourless, flipping the pages of his book. His spindly fingers clasp the cover. He does not move aside from this. It hits Atsushi that they are alive. He slumps down next to Akutagawa and rests his head on his shoulder. Akutagawa only glances down at him and continues reading.
Atsushi wouldn’t say they live a loud life.
They’ve come a long, long way.

Summary
“Since it’s so late, why not go to bed?”
It’s because, he doesn’t answer, when he sleeps, the shallow, dizzy bits he catches, like a dead fish bobbing in a clamoring tide, he sees flashes: a spear ready to be thrown, pulled back, muscles in the bow-like arm taut with veins, and released, whistling through the air, and he becomes the spear, becomes its trajectory through skin and bone and heart, piercing and sticking through the other side of a body animated with vigor, bright blue eyes frozen, dulled. A spear has only one end to its relentless path. A thousand spears then means a sea of blood. Flashes of a god, teetering on the brink of dark insanity, gulping blood into its maw, and the people, desperate to satiate it—the violence and death sanctioned and glorified for centuries in murals, poems, songs.
Mydeimos never sleeps. One night, a familiar warrior offers to spar with him.

Summary
“I’m sorry, buddy,” he says, “I should’ve known you weren’t feeling it.” Shane finally looks at him. He makes a low, unfamiliar sound, vibrating through the water. It is confused and searching, a sound Hayden doesn't hear from him often.
Somewhere deep in the facility, a heavy impact reverberates through the walls, metal groaning under the strain. Ilya. Hayden closes his eyes. Ilya is bigger, faster. And he wants to kill Shane.
//
Hayden thinks the new wild mer in the aquarium, Ilya, is trying to murder his best fish friend, Shane. Turns out he's got it all wrong, and murder is the last thing on their minds.Series

Summary
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.
His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.
Right. His shirt looks good on Hollander.
