First greeting

I have been idle from writing for such a long time, I used to write on my blog ever since I was in high school but ever since I got into college, it seemed like I had no inspiration to write anymore. Because of that I deleted all of my blog accounts in blogspot, wordpress, tumblr. Only two accounts other than this one that I kept but they both are currently inactive.

Just recently, 4 days ago, I was introduced to Natsuhiko Kyogoku's work, a manga titled Ubume no Natsu or The Summer of the Ubume, actually it was based on the novel with the same name but for the manga the author worked with Aki Shimizu as the illustrator.

I really like the manga a lot! It was dark, deep, mysterious, thrilling and psychologically educating if that makes sense, it made me to use my brain a lot to think thorough in every chapter.

I really like Japanese culture, the folklore, history, manga and anime, like mostly everything. But I just can not read, write and speak the language, I only know few Japanese terms.

two manga covers from Shikiganai scanlation which is kind enough for scanlating and translating this masterpiece.
