I've fallen in love with this manga and am continually surprised at how few people seem to have heard of it, so here's my humble attempt to spread the word :D (This is a cross-post from my journal, where I'm also delighted to discuss this fandom anytime :D :D)

It only took one promo picture to get me to check it out:

A man with fluffy hair with bloodied face holding the cheek of a smoking woman with a bloodied face, text in English

...I didn't really ask any more questions after that. Bonus impact for stumbling on it in Japanese because the "kept pet" implied in the verb is lovely, and obviously plays with the K-9/"police dog" title.

Anyway, meet Oboro on the left - he's great - and Ren on the right - she's great. The art is beautiful, and everyone is very pretty.

About the world

Some people have special abilities, most of which are not well understood. Only one thing is known for sure: these abilities manifest after someone commits a crime. For example, the criminal from the first chapter is an arsonist and can control/become fire. (Somewhat unrelated, but this is pretty fun coming in from the Boku No Hero Academia world, because it's like a universe in which only bad guys get a quirk.) Here, these abilities are called "sins." In the Japanese, it's simply the kanji for crime with "sin" written in katakana beside it.

This seems pretty simplistic at first glance, but that slowly changes as we drill deeper into the worldbuilding and learn the nuances of these abilities and how they manifest. The implications are deeply fucked up, with often devastating consequences that I'm totally here for as my heart gets shattered again and again.

The story premise

Our plucky detective Ren is selected to join Division 9, a newly created division that pairs a detective with a sin user in order to fight fire with fire -- what could possibly go wrong?! I love her. She kicks so much ass.

Woman with a leg up kicking some dude in the face mid-stride

So, who's our main cast?

( Short character profiles )

Four characters looking way too cool as they step through a broken wall

TOGETHER THEY FIGHT CRIME! More specifically, crime related to sin users. But they also get their asses kicked and handed over to them quite a bit, haha.

( A bit more on the story and on them )

Where to read? How many chapters are out?

( 37 chapters, 3 volumes. Totally possible to catch up in a reasonable amount of time! )

Happy holidays to everyone!

I spent part of my day tagging along with my spouse while they got tattoos. Coincidentally, I've been eyeing the work by another artist at the same shop, so I decided to make an appointment with them for early January while we were there. I technically shouldn't be spending that much money, but I think it's okay to treat myself for once. January is also my birthday month, and the tattoo is something I've wanted for a while. It will be Free! (anime) related, because that series is near and dear to my heart.

While I was waiting for my partner, I ended up finishing Volume 5 of the No.6 novel series. I've been slowly working my way through all of them, and every time I get back to it, I feel my love for No.6 (and specifically, Nezushi) being reignited. Reading the novels just offers so much more insight to the characters and their relationships with each other. Being able to see Shion's inner thoughts about Nezumi and vice versa has been making me feel deranged.

( Short Vol.5 ramble... )

Anyway, at our house, we won't be doing much in terms of celebration other than eating really, but I hope everyone is able to enjoy their holiday :)

This week's word is...
blanket

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

Posting a little early this week because of Christmas Eve! I'll be with family this afternoon.

It's hard for me to figure out how to even start this post, because I was just presented with this picture:

...and I didn't really ask any more questions before reading the manga. Bonus impact for stumbling on it in Japanese because the "kept pet" implied in the verb is delicious, and obviously plays with the K-9/"police dog" title.

I think I'm starting to get it out of my system. Maybe. Not at all eyeing the manga volumes for a reread. This will be fine. I'm fine. We're cool.

I shall be working tomorrow (Christmas Eve) and need to leave the house at about 8.30am on Christmas Day, so I don't have a lot of time for preparation... but there's always time to squeeze in a little writing with a notebook balanced on top of the saucepan while preparing sprouts and packet noodles for supper, as I have just demonstrated :-P
(Admittedly it was about a sentence and a half, but I do intend to finish that sentence tonight, honest guv...)

Does genius burn for you today, Jos and Joes?

Exploration progress

Not much, but I did open some chest in Watatsumi Island today with some friends and I did a lot of leylines to farm friendship too. I was shocked by that new time limit thing claiming the rewards, but a friend said it'd been there forever, so I suppose I simply never noticed. It was definitely not as visual before, though.

Wishing progress

I think I'm around 58-59 wishes — nothing much. I'm starting to think that I won't get enough for Ineffa in time, but lately I simply cannot be bothered to spend so much time on Genshin... As I type this I'm only now realising that I didn't even claim my dailies rewards... Oh, well.

Combat progress

This is most of what I did today, as I played with a friend and my partner and did some bosses and enemy encounters. However, the highlight of it all was trying this challenge we'd seen on Instagram, in which we have to beat a boss with one person who can't see the screen, another who can't hear the others in the VC and another one who can't talk/is muted in the VC. We chose Childe because it was probably the easiest one to beat out of the daily ones (a friend wanted his reward) and it took us a few tries, but we did it! We also tried to record the result, but that didn't go well because of issues with the microphones and recording while on call, whoops.

All in all, just a normal morning. I was hoping I could get some progress done on a Secret Santa due January 6th, but it'd been a while since the last time we played, so it was fun. Apart from that, I'm feeling much better today! Still a little dazed, but no longer feverish, and I was finally able to work out after spending almost two entire days in bed.

If I get all the ideas out of my head, then I'll be able to write a mini-promo post for the fandom that doesn't just consist of a couple of screenshots with me pointing and screeching, right?

It's probably because I'm not used to this kind of fandom space, and also because I've mostly never really cared about top/bottom ship dynamics, but I saw some people with "❌🔄" in their bio and thought that meant I wasn't not allowed to retweet their stuff.

I'm an impulsive retweeter, like my hands are quicker than my brain kinda deal, and I get real panicked when I retweet something from someone who has "❌🔄" in their bio.

Apparently, it actually means they won't do reverse pairings! So my panicking was unwarranted!

This experience has significantly aged me :)
