Yume

A captivating fantasy novel about demons, dreams, and a young woman teaching English in Japan. “With empathetic characters, terrifying monsters, and a cinematic feel, Yume is a dream that will keep readers awake at night.” — RICHARD FORD BURLEY, author of Displacement Cybelle teaches English in a small city in Japan. Her contract is up for renewal, her mother is begging her to come back to Canada, and she is not sure where she belongs anymore. She faces ostracism and fear daily, but she loves her job, despite its increasing difficulties. She vows to do her best — even when her sleep, appetite, and life in general start to get weird, and conforming to the rules that once helped her becomes a struggle. Meanwhile, yokai feast and cavort around Osaka and Kyoto as the barrier between their world and the human world thins. Zaniel spends his nights walking the dream world and serving his demon “bodyguard,” Akki. But there is a new yokai on the scene, and it has gotten on Akki’s bad side. When Cybelle gets caught up in the supernatural clash, she has to figure out what is real and, more importantly, what she really wants ... before her life spirals out of control altogether.

A Leo and a Sagittarian- House on Fire, for sure! Meet Akira and Veer on this crazy quirky ride where love-o-meter is pitched at a million!

High schooler Nozomi Koiwa wakes up and discovers she's lost her memories...and a whole lot of height. Now the size of a soda can, she flees from a feline assault into the disgusting den of Yume Okubo, a drunken shut-in NEET who's terrified of people and hasn't been outside for months. Between falling beer cans and deadly insect traps, Nozomi survives long enough to convince the airheaded Yume that she's a figment of her imagination who's come to save her from hitting rock bottom...all while investigating how she ended up funsized. But despite their differences-height, brains, and otherwise-each half of this quirky combo might just be what the other needs!

When Nozomi's explanations don't add up, even airheaded Yume figures out she's real…which only fuels her fantasy of having Nae and Nozomi as her very own dolls-frilly dresses included. But when Yume remembers Big Nozomi and tails her for questioning, the origin of the mini-people is finally revealed…but not before disaster strikes. Now that their lives are on the line, can a shut-in like Yume brave the outdoors and fight for her (only) friend?

Now having met another mini-person who's even smaller than she is, Nozomi is more eager than ever to find clues about her short stature at the shrine in the mountains where she first awoke. Problem is, one small step for man is a perilous journey for Nae and Nozomi. Meanwhile, Yume faces a daunting trial (for introverts) back home-getting a delivery and answering the door. But when she stumbles upon Nozomi's cardboard abode, she begins to piece together that maybe, just maybe…Nozomi isn't a figment of her imagination after all.

If someone was in trouble, would you help them—no matter the cost? «Heartseed»'s "final" phenomenon has begun, and the five second-years now get random visions of other people's hopes and dreams. But when Inaba tells the others NOT to take action, Taichi and Yui take matters into their own hands! The club is divided, and worse still, one of Taichi's classmates is starting to suspect that something supernatural is at play... It's time to take sides in volume 7 of the hit ensemble dramedy light novel from award-winning author Sadanatsu Anda!
