Temari is a guerrilla artist in her city, with her mark on every building to fight against the burgeoning tech scene that paints the city in a dull gray nothingness. Shikamaru is a traditional artist with many exhibits curated to display his print making genius. With one look at a subject, he can memorize it in minutes and recall the reference behind his eyes with his photographic memory. Shikamaru being the traditionalist he is, thought he had everything in order until a wild new-age artist Temari enters his life and threatens to take his place in the upcoming art scene.

ShikaTemarchival note: this is the first time I’ve ever completed a multi-chapter fic!! Yippee!!
I don't get why people are purposefully ignoring the queer undertones of The Summer Hikaru Died for the sake of other's liking it.
Don't worry, they don't feel anything towards each other! They say, in order to encourage people to read it. I mean what???
Yes, it's not a love story but. I'm so tired of seeing comments on social media putting down Yoshiki's feelings and development thorough the manga saying that he doesn't feel anything, that his feelings are not important, that it's just horror and that's it. There's no way some people lack this comprehension skills.
Y'all can't just ignore Yoshiki was born and raised in a small village in the middle of nowhere and how being different led him to feel like shit. And that that's one of the topics of the manga, it's explicitly showed. And it is completely OK to have this side of the narrative while being a psychological horror story, yk? No need to erase it.
He's gay, get over it. He's a teen, feels ashamed and lost, he feels trapped in this village, he's troubled, he's different and he's invested in closing paranormal holes with the monster who took over his dead best friend's body, aka TheEntity™, and a spiritual grandma for the sake of the world. It's just queer stories don't always need to be about romance.
The Summer Hikaru Died (anime adaptation) is going to test people's literacy and we all know it's not going to end well. Specially when we're used to see queer couples being fetishized in japanese media.
I'd say this is what media needs. More stories like this one. Romance is not the plot, but feelings still matter for it to exist and develop.
Anyways, don't lose energy trying to tell people and engaging in fights on tiktok comments. Just enjoy that this beautiful manga is getting an adaptation!! I personally love it and I'm waiting for the seventh volume to release <3
Read the manga, it's absolutely beautiful, the art is on point. The whole process of Yoshiki seeing 'Hikaru' (the thing) instead of Hikaru his dead bestie is amazing. It's so well written.
it sucks that im stuck in a human body. im supposed to be running through a forest on a mountain on all fours. im supposed to be laying among the stars. im supposed to be so incomprehensible to the human mind that it collapses trying to visualize me. what do you mean i have a flesh prison
OMG I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE SAIINO FANFIC
I am screeching so much Celandine By: InsanitySilver I am crying over this fact already
I have never thought about this at all. The fic is one shot and It is very satisfying to read because mostly I don’t ever feel enough with one-shots. The time takes place during Inojin’s Academy days. Sai’s POV, Sai and his interaction with other Yamanaka Clan’s members. Sai and Inojin, All other canon pairs and Saiino moments. It also have some of Ino-Shika-Chou formation. Canon Verse. Lovely fic overall!
I saw a women who came up from the floorboards, from the soil beneath the crawl space of my old creaky home. Nude and streaked in grime she crept along the floor, her hands and feet leaving muddy prints that shone in the static television light. She crept to where a father lay sleeping on the stained lumpy couch. He was not my father, but he was a father.

Pov you live in an old lighthouse by the sea
● you wake up every morning with the sun and the soft crashing waves
● every day the smell of the sea greets you as you drink your tea or coffee in a homemade mug
● you befriend the seagulls and you feed them cookie crumbs as you read an old book about sea life
● you wave at the ships passing by and sent them kisses to protect them from storms
● during thunderstorms you stay inside and knit sweaters for your loved ones while listening to the rain
● sometimes you take walks by the sea and collect seashells the sea gifts you
● you make seashell strings and hang them and they play a sweet melody when it's windy
● you watch the starry sky with your grey cat and the moon smiles at you
● your room is decorated with old maps
● sometimes the sea gifts you things like the steering wheel of a pirate ship that now lays in your bedroom or the old compass of a sailor
Hi monday-mint. I am your huge fan. Thank you for always grace us with SaiIno contents. Since SaiIno ship is a small community, it is hard to find good content to quench your thirst. So, I really appreciate your arts. On that note, do you read fanfictions? If you do, can you give us some recommendations? Thank you.
oh my Thank you! I am not heavy fanfic reader but from what I’ve read so far these are my top Fav! (1) Moment (canonverse, good development between ino and sai in blank period , very cute, both POV )
(2) Recovery List (AU, sai’s pov, awesome characterization, superb interactions, )
(3) Celandine (canonverse with inojin and inoshikachou, very sweet and interesting hc with inoshikachou clan, daddy sai <3)
(4) Third Date (smut, third-eye opening fic )
(5) Starless Night (married life, ino’s pov, cool mom is cool <3)
(6) A lesson in art (I couldn’t find the fic anymore T.T) here is more if you like >> saiino fic recommendation I left two more saiino smut fics but I don’t know where to find them yet TwT they are treasures (I will make sure to update when I find them) and there are some others fluffy and angsty one as well…but I kinda forgot the name abit, I should reread them
My focus on fanfics are always the portrayals of the characters x’D. Back then I have specific way of what I like sai and Ino as , “Moment” fic showed me the way and almost all of TOM(japanese fanartist)’s portrayals on Sai and Ino. I believe they have the respect and love on the characters. But now, I am trying to see how can one portrayed a character with the flaws as well, of course I hate seeing character bashing to core but I want to see how one can bring out the potential flaws and portrayed them beautifully ( wait these are actually what I have been waiting bort anime to do haha….cries* bort sucks)
