This is the third day of Chinese new year, and here is the pic for celebration. In order to wish a peach luck, the pic is filled with peach blossoms. This winter is too cold, so the blossoms haven't come out yet, but the pic will redeem it.

Recently I remember my middle high school days. A love has indeed lost, but a dream through that day now is fulfilled!

I was a great fan of the Imonoyama family created by CLAMP, and the collection of the doujinshi (concerning to Imonoyamas) was my ambition. Now part of the dream has come ture, for I've read Shoten 2!

It is indeed a great book! Every story is interesting! Unlike CLAMP's new works, esp. Tsubasa, which are not so interesting, Shoten is really attractive! The theme is typically BL, or the most BL among all CLAMP's works. The 1st story is drawn by Mokona Apapa, and Ohkawa Utako-san and Imonoyama Nokoru-sama appear in the story. They seem more like ordinary children in the story, for they are naughty and not so invincible in CLAMP Gakuen Tantetan. Imonoyama Hajime is like what he is in Combination. Owaru is more funny in Combination, but Syuko is still the same. Haha, Owaru and Syuko are indeed lovers in spite of the half-sibling relationship. Owaru likes and is good at fighting, and he loves eating, just like the Owaru in Souryuden. Amaru is not mentioned. Tsuzuku perhaps is the most frequently appearing role in Shoten. He is very beautiful, and I love the ship of Kouji/Tsuzuku best. They've been best friends since 6-year-old, and after graduation from university, they live together. But they never show love to each other until one day Kouji fell from a high building and loses his memory of everything, but except his most important person--Tsuzuku. It's surprising that Tsuzuku is calm when hearing Kouji losing his memory, and he seems more concern about dinner than Kouji. But we can be sure Tsuzuku in fact ccares Kouji very much. The memory-lost Kouji becomes a Seme for he longs for making love to Tsuzuku. And then they have a wonderful night. However, Kouji regains his memory the next day, and forgets what happened that night. Tsuzuku is very angry, but Kouji suddenly says to him, "This person standing in front of me is the most important to me. I love you, Tsuzuku." Tsuzuku forgives him. How sweet! I love this type of couple most!

I used to look for the Imonoyama family's home. I found Hajime live in a big mension. Tsuzuku lives in an apartment with Kouji. Owaru lives with Syuko. And Nokoru? Oh, finally I've found the answer. His home is very familiar to us, and it's just right here--in CLAMP Gakuen.

Forever love, Nokoru-sama!
