Merry Christmas! It's not much. In fact, you could even say it "isn't too much at all...."

Merry Christmas and thanks for the 6 months of support and feedback! For those of you not into this side of the fandom or under-age, I'll try to whip out another chapter today and tomorrow as well for Christmas.

For those of you into it, my image editing/text setting skills are non-existent, but I hope you're able to enjoy it anyway.

Seishin (the uke at least by this doujinshi's standards) is a character that's hard to pin down. Most of us reading who've seen the anime/read the manga remain uncertain as to whether Seishin either has a tragic one sided crush on Ozaki (the guy I used to play at DDD) or whether he's always secretly loathed him. It's a series that plays a lot with how situational emotions are; characters go from hoping and remembering love with their family to suddenly thinking, within literally two pages as the situation turns for the worst, "Actually, I've ALWAYS hated this person from the bottom of my heart!"

All current novel readers who comment regularly seem to support the pair so I Devil's Advocate against it actually being canon in the comments because it's my job as a translator to be as objective as possible, but setting that duty aside I currently think that 'Seishin has romantic feelings of some nature towards Ozaki' is a supportable reading. Less sure on Ozaki, but at least one reader sees Ozaki as the one with the crush and Seishin as hating him covertly. What's in character is really hard to pin down here. Unlike most works, there's not a lot of "feelings persevere through any trial!" going on in this canon. Just about everyone is awful.



Come to think of it, this doujinshi spends a few pages on your favorite kink, huh? Add to that a purple-haired, glasses wearing, self-torturingly idealistic monk who can decently be argued to canonically have a crush on his married/otherwise involved male friend... Hrrrrrmmm. I just can't imagine what the draw might be to you who is not into this fandom.

[misheard]

I'd start reading/watching for context (I've done that many times before) but I can't really handle series where everyone is awful and tons of people die at this moment. It's not good for my health.

No, of course not. Completely out of left field for me.

[sinnesspiel]

There's only maybe five or six remotely developed characters who don't have a moment of "I am a monster", and out of over 120 or so characters, way more than half die, many of them in intricately described, painful ways. This is a work for nihilists and sadists. And maybe masochists.

Monk ends up with a loli anyways.

[misheard]

Yeah, no thanks. I'd wait until you start translating Puppies and Kittens: the Series to get into one of your fandoms.

[sinnesspiel]

I may do Knights of Lamune 40 Fire if someone scans and text sets it. That's got puppy people and is pretty stock peppy shounen faire, at a short little 5 volumes. I just don't want to scan mine in because it's a pain and I hate image editing.

Perhaps someday you'll crave that Fate/Zero feel again, with less world building babble. Shiki is in some ways similar to that, only without the bad ass dramatic fight scenes. Shiki will be here. Being horrible.

[misheard]

I feel you. I've been working on scanning my copies of the SMT: Devil Children manga and a) it takes forever and b) my scanner isn't very good so they don't look great.

There's more likelihood that I'll just read dumb shipping fanfic on FF.net first!

...which I'm actually on that now so that says absolutely nothing.

[sinnesspiel]

and stalking Google for private RPs I've done with Seishins.

You realize since I tend to like misery, any story I co-author has a decent likelihood of going unhappy directions, right?

[misheard]

Yeahhh. But maybe nobody will die onscreen?

[sinnesspiel]

Ironically, I am roleplaying with a Seishin via AIM at this very minute. It did involve a graphic and painful attempt on Seishin's life by an NPC, but it failed. Does that count?

[misheard]

I just can't win here, can I? Sigh. Google isn't turning up anything either.

[sinnesspiel]

You could always read up until a Gotouda Fuki is mentioned. No real deaths come up until then.

...There's a known character death at the end of chapter/episode 1, and some fairly graphic corpses in the first few panels/seconds, so I won't recommend starting the anime/manga if that's not your bit.

Alternately, anyone reading this who plays Seishin and wishes to be kind to you could request a non-locked PSL/meme/etc.

Or you could say what has you interested in the pair and I can try to throw out a small fic or pic based on that.

[misheard]

your entire pic collection

[misheard]

I mean what

[sinnesspiel]

Paste 敏静 (for Toshio seme)　or 静敏　(for Seishin seme) or 若コンビ (Junior Combi --they're called the Junior Monk and Junior Doctor by most townsfolk) into Pixiv search and voila, you have about what I do. I don't really keep much of a collection myself, sorry to say.

[misheard]

You're a saint among men.

[sinnesspiel]

You could call me a Saint Young Man, really.

[misheard]

Puns will get that status revoked.

[sinnesspiel]

Wait until I'm translating Lamune Puppies and Kitties: The Series and your favorite character ends up being the pun-happy DaCider.

[misheard]

It'll never happen! Never, I tell you!
