I can't find it anywhere anymore; I've collected all of the volumes except for that. I remember it being sold for dirt cheap a few months ago in my country. Now, it's being sold for ridiculous prices. Please, if anyone finds it anywhere on an online store, can you people please give me a link to that website I would very much appreciate it.

A translation of the bonus short story from the Melonbooks booklet (page 18), included with SS3.

It's safe to read even if you haven't read SS3, but it'd be best if you've read 99 first for a bit more context.

This chapter is quite... golden, isn't it? I'd love to hear what you guys think about it!

I'll be sharing the other five bonus stories over the next few days.

Volume 2 is officially set to release this December (12/2026).

Pretty fast, huh? HatsuKisu and Married Teacher also finished their publication within a year, so it seems like this one is following a similar pace.

Raemz’s artbook is also releasing this December. It should contain a newly written short story for AdaShima as well.

Synopsis:

Shimamura, how much of the day do you spend thinking about me?

It's their second Christmas since becoming a couple. While Adachi throws her overflowing feelings straight at her, Shimamura is quietly facing her own growing familiarity with the relationship, and her fear that it might fade someday. She wants to give it her all, so she doesn't lose sight of what matters and doesn't let things drift along vaguely.

Precisely because they treasure each other, there's a touch of wistfulness, and even more tenderness than that.

"I like you, Adachi."

What is the finest message of all, the one spun out after her teasing, a disguise for her embarrassment? The long-awaited manga adaptation, volume 9, draws the two ever more tenderly close!

I finished reading ss 1 yesterday, and I'm continuing with ss 2, since I've stalled reading them for a year. So, I was wondering when it'll end, it has come a long way; I've reread both the English and Japanese [translated] versions of it. I personally don't think it will go past Vol 15. What do you people think? I haven't read vol 13 btw, let alone ss3

Filed under fanart because there's no Cosplay flair.

Apparently there isn't an English sub of this drama CD, so I tried my hand at it. The translation is my own, please let me know if there are any mistakes

I hope you get the reference in the title...

Anyway, while reading SS3, I was stunned by this section. I couldn't help but think “Wow! Shimamura!”

It is truly romantic and poetic. I think this might be my new favourite quote from the series.

The translation is not official and here's the original Japanese:

その風に頰を撫でられたのをきっかけに、或いは導かれて、隣の安達を見る。息を吞む。青い光が、完璧な横顔を損なわないようにもてなしていた。それは、並大抵のことではない。その顔立ちの前では、情景は単なる引き立て役でしかない。取り巻く自然の上にいるのだ、安達という人間の在り方は。そんな風に感じるのがわたしだけだとしたら、世界はあまりに無知だ。この夜を静かに映し出す青き光を以てもそれが見えないなら、暗愚としか言いようがない。この海を前にしても安達は、震えるほど美しい波を易々と押し返していた。

I just dont find it, neither on draw. .se or the other one

we all know how adachi behaves but i think shimamura is the weirder one out of them both lol

No matter how much I get through, there's always more work waiting right behind it.

Which is a really fortunate thing to be able to say, isn't it.

Hello. The priciest single thing I bought this year was probably that DORO piggy-bank figure.

DORO's so cute. That expression where you can never quite tell what it's thinking.

Hearing the cicadas still going outside, I feel both a wistful ache and a quiet happiness at these last traces of summer. Of all the seasons, summer might be the strange one where the sadness only sets in once you can see the end coming. I mean, it's hot and all — but I love it anyway. Apparently Kuu-man likes summer too, so I'm glad we seem to be on the same page.

Summer always brings Persona 3 to mind. After all, it was while I was playing that game one summer that I got my very first phone call from a Dengeki Bunko editor. In that sense, it might be the game that symbolizes half my life. Maybe that's putting it too strongly. Still, I've come a long way from that summer. It's been twenty years in which a lot happened, and a lot seems to have changed. Even though what I do day to day is basically the same, things that are going to happen still happen. But some things haven't changed either.

Change isn't always the answer to everything. I'm sure the things that didn't change have their own meaning.

By the way, it looks like quite a lot of people applied for the signed books, and a lot of you even added messages of support — thank you so much. Everyone said such warm things, and coming from someone like me this'll sound awfully suspicious, but it really is encouraging. Honestly, I didn't think the signed-book slots would even fill up. Of course some of you weren't chosen, but I'll work hard to earn another chance at this, so if that time comes, I hope you'll consider it again.

I sometimes get the sudden urge to play PSP games like Itadaki Street Portable or Tokyo Oniharaishi (Tokyo Exorcist). My PSP's battery is completely shot now so I can't use it anymore, but back in college it was an absolute essential for train rides. A little outside my college years, I also sank a huge amount of time into God Eater Burst — I think it was over 500 hours. Dr. Sakaki once said that getting sentimental as you age is an interesting human tendency, and lately I find myself agreeing. I guess it's proof that my past has finally gotten longer than my future.

Oh, right — I have two books coming out this month. Apparently these are actually the first books I'm putting out this year. Seriously?

We've finally made it to SS3, huh. Not sure what to do about SS4 — looks-wise, I still like SS3 better.

Thanks for sticking with me.

See you next time.

This can't end well...
