New Light Novel: Ayakashi and the Fairy Tales We Tell Ourselves

We’re thrilled to announce the acquisition of Ayakashi and the Fairy Tales We Tell Ourselves by Kosuzu Kobato (I’d Rather Have a Cat than a Harem!) and Meij, a heartwarming supernatural fantasy oneshot about one girl’s life-changing encounter with a house filled with ayakashi and the family that lives there with them.

When The Ayakashi Come Out And Play!

When Haruka Kitazawa bumps into the enigmatic Ayako Towada, her life veers down an unexpected course. Ayako introduces Haruka to her nephew, Takumi, a seemingly aloof classmate nursing a unique and uncanny secret. Takumi and his aunt bear an unusual gift—the ability to perceive ayakashi, spectral creatures that straddle the boundary between this realm and the one beyond.

As Haruka and Takumi grapple with their newfound reality and their burgeoning relationship, they must learn to draw strength from each other and those around them to confront their most profound fears and insecurities. Amid the turmoil of adolescence and the mysteries of an unseen world, they strive to chart distinct paths and transform the messiness of youth into their own fairy tale of self-discovery and empowerment.

Ayakashi and the Fairy Tales We Tell Ourselves will be available digitally worldwide on September 30th, 2024 for $7.99 and in paperback for $14.99 at a later date. You can pre-order your copy through Amazon now:
