Love the creepy side of Japan? On the surface, all that people hear about Japan is their rich culture, and how weird some of their customs and inventions are. But aside from that, there is a darker side of Japan, including their unsettling urban legends. From different colored toilet paper to a poem that might curse you, this book will show you many of their urban legends are odd and downright creepy. And trust me, they will also show you yet another example of how weird Japan is. Oh, Japan... how I love you so much. The cover art is by an artist named Takato Yamamoto.

Ivan had always thought he'd be the one to stay up and party until 4 A.M. Little did he know that he'd be sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor at that time, crying as he contemplated on whether or not he should take his own life. He thought he was alone. He thought he could never be loved. When he decided that one night, when he made that decision to finally end it all, he stopped. There sat a boy with the gorgeous brown eyes, and breathing taking smile. He had asked Ivan to join him on the river bank, where they spoke to one another quietly while the teenagers across town partied all night long. Ivan had rolled up his sleeve, looking down in embarrassment and shame as he listened to the boy talk. The boy had turned to him, Ivan staring in wonder as he rolled up his sleeve with a whisper, "I draw too." _________________ The story itself focuses on Ivan in 3rd person. The lines at the beginning are from Yao's view.

"I want to keep my soul! I don't want to live if it means I owe you my life!"... ..."As you wish, {Y/N}." • • • ||Sebastian Michaelis x Reader|| ☆☆2nd Place for Sebastian Michaelis in the 2018 Black Butler Watty Awards☆☆ ▪︎▪︎▪︎ Cover art by @/ytgmksts (ง'̀-'́)ง ♡ You, the reader, are the star of this book, taking on the role of a resilient young woman going behind her overprotective father's back to live a life of secret glory in London's underground. After making a careless mistake, your entire world starts to unravel, forcing you into a begrudgingly formed alliance with a mysterious young nobleman and his attractive (albiet incrediblly vexing) butler. During your time at the Phantomhive household, you begin to uncover secrets about yourself -who you really are, what your family actually is, why bad, bad men are hunting you- and you discover more about Sebastian Michaelis than you ever thought possible. From a steward, to a demon, to the centre of an ancient legend, a biblical tale of epic proportions, the true nature of the acused liar in your midst comes in the form of a revelatory, electrifying story. Undeniably, it's one for the ages. You'd eventually come to believe that. Though, loving Sebastian, given who he was all along, now THAT would take time, and... something extraordinary would have to happen before someone like you could surrender to someone like him. Read on to see what that is! One last thing: After writing this and calling it "As You Wish" before completion, I think I may have actually liked to have named it "Lionheart". You'll understand why pretty quickly and easily as the plot progresses. Thanks for your interest in this, guys! It means so much to me. ♡♡♡
