There it is.

Can I get it without waking her up?

Kitty Life

She looks so comfortable sleeping there.

Why Won't You Move?

Special Feature: How Your Cat Feels, Part 2

Where's the Best Spot for a Nap? Ask the Cat.

Huh...

This really is comfortable.

My Roommate is a Cat

Because You're Here

"The Crescent Moon said,

The Moon and the Sun

'It looks like the Sun is awake. I will go to sleep.'"

That's incredible, Subaru!

Did you memorize that book all the way to the end?

Not "to the end." There's more after the end.

Oh, a second The Moon and the Sun story, eh?

Yeah.

That's wonderful! Tell it to me!

Sure. It goes like this...

One day, the Sun and the Crescent Moon decided to go out.

And then what?

The Crescent Moon said, "I'd like to go out in the morning,"

and the Sun said, "I'd like to go out in the evening."

It's done!

The Moon and the Sun 2

Subaru!

Could you come here?

What is it, Mo—

These are the Yasakas. They just moved in next door.

This is my son, Subaru.

He's the same age as Hiroto-kun.

Hiroto-kun, Nagisa-chan, can you be his friends?

Gotcha!

I think you mean "Yes, ma'am!" Honestly...

I'm so sorry. He's always trying to be funny.

I'm happy to see Subaru meet a fun new friend!

The Moon and the Sun

Subaru-kun, it's nice to meet you!

See you again soon.

Comin' at ya, Hiroto!

Got it!

Wow!

This is like a library!

Huh? Why are you in here?

Hiroto-kun.

I got in touch with your mom.

She's taken Nagisa-chan to the hospital.

You can stay here until they get back, okay?

Gotcha!

Hey, are all these books yours?

Yes... they are...

For real?

Hey, can I read this one?

Sure.

Thanks!

The Cursed Diamond

Hey...

Are you gonna be a librarian?

No.

What?! Then, why do you have so many books?

Why? Because...

I want... to be someone who creates books.

Oh, you want to start a book factory?

Huh?! No!

What are you doing, anyway? Why don't you sit down?

Huh?

Um, this is my room...

Oh, yeah!

Subaru, how's college?

I mean... it's normal.

Enjoying it like normal, eh?

I'm glad.

Oh, right! When are you going write the rest?

The rest?

Wait, you mean...

You read the book I'm writing?!

It just caught my eye while I was cleaning, so I took a peek...

A "peek"?

Hey, so the main character has already figured out who the culprit is, right?

No, the way he was acting, I don't think he's figured anything out.

You read it, too?!

Your mom told me I should, so I just... you know.

Y-You can't do that!

No one said you could!

We're sorry we read it without asking...

But we've always been fans of your writing, Subaru.

We can't help looking forward to more.

Right, dear?

Grand Prize Mystery Novelist Award In the Still of the Moonlit Night by Mikazuki Subaru

M-My novel is...

Yes... Yes...

Er, no...

Thank you very much.

It's being released in printed volumes.

Congratulations.

That's wonderful, Subaru!

Yeah... Thanks.

I guess I fell asleep.

That's the first time I've ever dreamed about when I first started writing novels.

Why now?

Haru?

Whoa, watch it!

What the?!

Nori

What the heck are you doing?

How did this happen?

Well, the moment I walked in the back door,

I nearly stepped on Haru's tail...

So when I tried to stop myself, I spun around and fell.

And she jumped way the hell up there.

How is it you create such a scene just by coming in here?

My parents are out tonight,

so I just packed up a bunch of food,

but the bag broke.

What's this?

Oh, yeah, that!

I found it at my parents' place earlier.

The Moon and the Sun 2 Mikazuki Subaru

Yeah, sorry I forgot to return that.

I don't remember lending it to you...

Huh? No, I clearly told you I was borrowing it.

Hey, Subaru...

Mind if I let my little sibs read this?

Sure.

Okay, I'm borrowing it.

Sure.

I have no memory of that...

I can imagine.

When books are involved, you're even more brain-dead than usual.

Brain-dead?

I mean, that one time, on the way home from school...

He's...

reading a book while walking again.

What a weirdo.

I don't think I can ever be friends with him.

Huh?!

A-Are you okay?

Give me your hand!

The Emperor of the Heavens

Here! Take this!

Huh?

Thank goodness...

The book didn't get wet.

I have no memory of that, either...

See? Brain-dead.

That whole incident was such a shock to me.

I thought you were so weird.

But I also thought you were really interesting.

I had no idea there were kids like you.

I was pretty excited the first time I went in your room, too.

I do remember that day.
