    Summary

    Inevitable, beyond the mere concept of inevitability. Kafka had been one of the best before she retired at a mere twenty-five, and it had been sheer talent that propelled her there. Even back then, Himeko had known—Kafka was a storyteller, and not even five years of retirement could snuff out that flame.

    It’s an issue. A big one.

    Because if Kafka gets this role, then the ghost becomes flesh. The phantom gets a call sheet, a trailer, a wardrobe rack, and three months of shared scenes and early mornings and Yao Guang’s terrifyingly intimate notes on eye contact. If Kafka gets this role, Himeko will have to stand across from her every single day and pretend that the last five years did not leave a strange little bruise somewhere beneath her ribs.

    or, they're actresses, Kafka reemerges after five years of radio silence, and Himeko wonders what the hell she did to deserve this.

    Summary

    Agott was in love with her best friend, and she needed a plan.

    A plan on how to keep living with her feelings, but without acting sappy or gross or overly affectionate. A plan that would let her appreciate Coco’s kindness without making it painfully obvious that she liked her. A plan that wouldn’t end in a straight-up romantic confession on her part.

    You couldn’t just tell your best friend you liked them. Everyone knew that.


    Sixteen-year-old Agott devises a system for dealing with a crush. It goes about as well as one might expect.

    Summary

    Himeko has never really been a dog person. They are loud, insistent, unpredictable and always too eager in ways she found vaguely exhausting.

    She much preferred bunnies and rabbits. They were creatures that existed without demanding attention, that occupied space gently. Even cats, with their selective affection and careful boundaries, made sense to her.

    They did not arrive uninvited. They did not impose.

    As such, she's not really sure what to do when the puppy who ran away from home ages ago arrives on her doorstep battered, bruised and sopping wet.

    Summary

    Ruan Mei had only one way to get information from someone without having to ask and wait for an answer: physical contact.

    However, with Madame Herta in her human form, the physical contact ends up reaching an extremely explicit level, which ends up turning into an agreement and making them each other's experiment.

    A very, very, peculiar experiment.
