If you decide to read Shinigami first, it will contain spoilers for Kogitsune.Ĭontent warnings for murder, death, slavery, abduction, abandonment, human trafficking, mention of a plague, self-harm, depression, child abuse, fixed marriages, and incest. The little kitsune’s story may take place in the future but it will not spoil Shinigami. I strongly recommend you read Kogitsune first. Kogitsune is about a young fox god (called a kitsune in Japanese mythology) and his childhood friend, and it’s a retelling of Kokaji, a famous Noh play.

It is set almost three hundred years before the events in Kogitsune-the first story-published in October 2018. However, none of these love stories are written as “romance,” so beware.

That means the Takamagahara Monogatari series depicts love stories between two men. I wrote the stories as “historical fantasy,” with influences from Japanese mythology and folklore, and combined them with my love for BL and Yaoi. This series is a collection of stories set in medieval Japan, in the Nara (AD 710 to 794) and Heian (AD 794 to 1185) eras. Dear Reader, welcome to the Takamagahara Monogatari.
