Violently sleepy
I'm happy to be able to read Akiko Akasome's work again in this series. It's so cute that I have to take a commemorative photo next to her previous work, "Jam Pan Day" 📚 #AkikoAkasome #Hatsuko #palmbooks
Congratulations to the translators Kihara Yoshihiko and Sekine Ken, and to the publishers Genki Shobo and Astra House.
The sample of the twentieth printing of Chikuma Bunko's "Nemoto Type" has been completed, and a new obi for the fair has been added. Another nice point is that it comes with a "So, have you read it?"
In the May issue of "Subaru" now on sale, Murata Sayaka and the moderator Konan Amiko had a conversation about her latest novel, "Sekai 99". I feel that we were able to get a lot of important keywords to understand this enormous masterpiece. Please be sure to pick up a copy! 📚
This would be the winner
So, suddenly, we will be holding a thanksgiving event tonight! Anyone can participate remotely. For now, Ken Nishizaki and Motoyuki Shibata from the selection committee are scheduled to participate. We look forward to hearing from everyone who came to support us, our readers, and our translators.
Thanks to everyone's support, the crowdfunding campaign for the Japan Translation Award has reached its goal! We are truly grateful for your support. There are less than 10 hours left until the end. Please continue to support us so that we can continue for another year. We have lots of fun perks!
I'm really sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it...! I hope to see you at this time next week!
My favorite part of Naoto Takenaka's performance is his "Impersonation of Jippensha Ikku" (he was met with cheers of "It's just like him! It's just like him!") (or was this also a dream?)
