As a physician this would be an instant buy, if anything just to see how a novelist tackles this moral dilemma.

Heard that the nareator was like a tribute to Zaregoto.

has potential....what is HER 'deal"? did she mistake him for someone else (is she really being stalked? or is she paranoid? ) what will the police do when the see the creepy artwork in his apartment? (serial killer much?) what will happen with their relationship after the awkward introduction?

@bloodygaikotsu said in Despera: Ain is particularly uncomfortable of Barbara's presence as she is frightened of her pale white complexion, presumably having never seen a Russian before. Well, yeah, just like the author if he seriously names his russian character BARBARA ANDREI. Though, admittedly, at least it looks like a name, she could have very well been called Elektrichka Sapsan like that poor girl from Pretty Cation.

@raitoiro Updated it and added both of his licensed works

I've enjoyed what I've read of the manga. It's got some darker elements than I usually read, but bad guys seem to get their comeuppance so far. I doubt the manga will cover the entirety of the light novels though, and so would like to see them licensed so I can get the complete story.

It's spotlight time and I'm not sure what else to say—so I decided to share some screenshots of the manga adaptation and some various reviews of the novel and the manga: spoiler spoiler

@the-green-death Actually, I don't really discern much between LN and general literature. A lot of old LNs are sold or rebranded as non-LN title now. There's this new medium in the gray area called "light bungei" as well. So I just lump them all together as Japanese literature (even if some complain about how LN can be literature, I just use the term "pop literature" lol)
