The English titles I’m giving them leave something to be desired in terms of coolness, but they at least largely accurate in terms of communicating the lexical (?) meaning of the original, if not the emotional feeling. A good compromise leaves *everyone* unhappy, right? (lol)
Did I mention that HABU Yoshiharu is amazing? Coz he is. He writes nice, short books, with the economy and insight of a man who has something to say instead of a man who has pages to fill. Mad respect. Anyway, yeah, more later!
