Seriously one of my favorite authors yet. His writing is so crisp and I think the English translations of his work must really do them justice; I never get tired of any of his stories, no matter how grotesque. I wish MAL had his actual novels listed, though.

Porque en myanimelist solo están los mangas basados en sus novelas y no las novelas ligeras mismas?

Because in myanimelist there are only sleeves based on his novels and not the light novels themselves?

A Gun and Chocolate isn't listed here. I just ordered the French translation, as there either isn't an English one or it's unavailable.

No. It's more like the short stories he'd written were adapted by mangaka into manga.

A manga creator with only short stories? :(

Oooh, thanks for the info that "Summer, Fireworks and My Corpse" was translated. I've read everything published in English so far from him too, and I'm totally in love (and he is super, super good looking for an author).

I just read the English translation of the newly published Summer, Fireworks and My Corpse. The bonus story Black Fairy Tale was amazing. At the same level as Goth, Calling You and Zoo. Can't get enough of his stories *needs more*
