The posting of ‘Aran’ will be completed at the end of May, and I will be taking June off of Friday book chapter posting (there may be some other features posted on Fridays during that time, but I am undecided).

I hope to begin posting ‘Berubara and I’, a book of compiled long-form interviews with OGs about the history of The Rose of Versailles, in July, but it is a very involved translation process requiring much outside research for context notes, so I may put it off further to give more time to complete it.

In that case, the book starting in July will be Sena Jun’s ‘Words for the Day’, which was published in 2008 during the leadup to ME AND MY GIRL and Ayano Kanami’s retirement.
