雨の日は好きでした。
Ame no hi wa suki deshita.

出来る事が少なくなりますが、
Dekiru koto ga sukunaku narimasu ga,
風の涼しさにも、
Kaze no suzushisa ni mo,
肌に粒が落ちる度の感じにも
Hana ni tsubu ga ochiru tabi no kanji ni mo,
良い気持ちを与えられています。
Yoi kimochi wo ataerareteimasu.

ざあざあと激しい大雨でも、
Zaazaa to hageshii ooame demo,
しとしとと優しい小雨でも、
Shitoshito to yasashii kosame demo,
雨が降る度、すっきりする気がします。
Ame ga furu tabi, sukkiri suru ki ga shimasu.

でもあの時、君が言いました。
Demo ano toki, kimi ga iimashita.
泣きながら、
Nakinagara,
「さようなら」と
「Sayounara」to

その時は、雨の日でした。
Sono toki wa, ame no hi deshita.

僕も泣いていたのでしょうか？
Boku mo naiteita no deshouka?
雨のせいで、見えなくて分かりませんでした。
Ame no sei de, mienakute wakarimasendeshita.
何の覚えもしていません。
Nan no oboe mo shiteimasen.

分かったのは一つしかありませんでした。
Wakatta no ha hitotsu shika arimasendeshita.

雨の日が嫌になりました。
Ame no hi ga iya ni narimashita.

その時から、
Sono toki kara,
君のさようならから。
Kimi no sayounara kara.

I liked rainy days.

The things you can do can be limited,
But the coolness of the wind,
And the way droplets touch your skin every time they fall,
Gives you a really nice feeling.

Even if it’s a violent heavy rain,
Even if it’s a gentle and light one,
Whenever rain falls, I feel refreshed.

But that time, you said something.
While crying,
“Good bye.”

That time, it was a rainy day.

Was I also crying then?
Because of the rain, I couldn’t see and I didn’t know.
I also can’t remember.

But there is one thing I know.

I came to hate rainy days.

Ever since that time.
Ever since your good bye.

「僕の世界は灰色に見えます」
「Boku no sekai wa haiiro ni miemasu」

そう言った僕には、君が
Sou itta boku ni wa, kimi ga
笑いながら、
Warainagara,
「それって違う」と言い返しました。
「Sore tte chigau」to iikaeshimashita.

でも僕の奥底には、そう考えていました。
Demo boku no okusoko ni wa, sou kangaeteimashita.

「灰色にしか見えない世界なんてないよ」
「Haiiro ni shika mienai sekai nante nai yo」

君の言葉で顔を上げました。
Kimi no kotoba de kao wo agemashita.

遠い何処かを見つめながら、君は微笑みました。
Tooi dokoka wo mitsumenagara, kimi ha hohoemimashita.

「だって」
「Datte」

君は僕の方に振り向き、真剣な顔で僕らの目を合わせました。
Kimi wa boku no hou ni furimuki, shinken na kao de bokura no me wo awasemashita.

「こうやって、君の隣に居るだけで、僕の視界に見えるのは、全て、輝いていて虹みたいに見えるんだ」
「Kouyatte, kimi no tonari ni iru dake de, boku no shikai ni mieru no wa, subete, kagayaiteite niji mitai ni mierun da」

そう聞くと、僕は笑い出しました。
Sou kiku to, boku wa waraidashimashita.
だって、虹に見える世界と言うのは有り得ないでしょう？
Datte, niji ni mieru sekai to iu no wa arienai deshou?

でもそれは絶対嘘だと思います。
Demo sore wa zettai uso da to omoimasu.

だって僕の視界には、
Datte boku no shikai ni wa,
輝いているのは君の目しかないらです。
Kagayaiteiru no wa kimi no me shika nai kara desu.


“I see my world in gray.”

You smiled when I said that,
And told me,
“That’s wrong.”

But deep down inside of me, that’s what I thought.

“A world that you see in gray doesn’t exist.”

I lifted my head after hearing your words.

You smiled while looking somewhere far away.

“That’s because,”

You turned to my direction and with a serious face, your eyes met mine.

“Like this, just being here with you, everything I can see in my field of vision is shining, as if I’m seeing everything like a rainbow.”

I laughed after hearing you say that.
Because a world where you can see everything like a rainbow is impossible.

But I think that was a lie.

Because right now,
The one that’s shining is your eyes only.

昼休み、棚から１冊の本を取りました。
Hiru yasumi, tana kara issatsu no hon wo torimashita.

読んだ事があるの本を,
Yonda koto ga aru no hon wo,
何回も。
Nankai mo.

他の本に比べて、この本は少しだけ小さい形で、軽いタイプです。
Hoka no hon ni kurabete, kono hon wa sukoshi dake chiisai katachi de, karui TAIPU desu.

でもこの本は学校の図書室の中で、一番好きです。
Demo kono hon wa gakkou no toshoshitsu no naka de, ichiban suki desu.

本を開いたら、色んな景色が目の前に、
Hon wo hiraitara, iron na keshiki ga me ni,
一枚、一枚、
Ichi mai, ichi mai,
フィルムみたいに
FIRUMU mitai ni
入って込みました。
Haitte komimashita.

目から変な感じで、水が流れて来ました。
Me kara hen na kanji de, mizu ga nagarete kimashita.

この思いをしめるため、本を強く閉じ込みました。
Kono omoi wo shimeru tame, hon wo tsuyoku toji komimashita.

切ない思いを、
Setsunai omoi wo,
君への思いを。
Kimi e no omoi wo.

でも、本から、１枚の紙が覗き込もうとしていました。
Demo, hon kara, ichi mai no kami ga nozokimashita.
気になったせいで、その紙を取り、あの名を目に会いました。
Ki ni natta sei de, sono kami wo tori, ano na wo me ni aimashita.

その場で泣いてしまいました。
Sono ba de naite shimaimashita.

あのクチにもう出せない名を無声に叫びながら。
Ano kuchi ni mou dasenai na wo nakebinagara.


At lunch break, I took a book from a shelf.

A book that I have already read,
More than once.

Compared to the other books, it was smaller and with a lighter type.

But this is my most favorite book within the school library.

When I opened the book,
Piece by piece,
Different kinds of scenery flashed through my eyes.

With a weird feeling, water came running down from my eyes.

In order to lock these feelings, I forcefully close the book.
These suffocating feelings.
These feelings that I feel for you.

But there was this piece of paper that came peeking from the book.
Curious, I took the paper and a name met my eyes.

There, I cried.

While silently screaming the name that I no longer could call out.

Introduction. To be honest, when I hear an anime that’s all about card games, I would instantly give it up and never dare to watch the first episode to even peek ever since Yu-gi-oh. But Chihayafuru was different. Turning a boring card game into something that can be enjoyed by both players and viewers is something you can’t see that often in any series out there.

Originated from Yuki Suetsugu, Chrihayafuru won over thousands of fans through its manga and was adapted into a two-seasoned anime series that gained more popularity than your normal Sports-Romance series. And now, last 19th of March, Japan had started rolling the curtains off of its first part of the live action movie directed by Norihiro Koizumi.

Apparently, when my co-worker who bought me the Hanging Rin Phone Chain went home (which he susually does every damn month – I envy, btw), he, again, bought me another souvenir!

Since it is now 2016, it is time to review my graphic works through the years!

No, actually, this is the first time that I have done this. I figured I should have done this a while back. I mean, nothing can make an artist happier than to see her own skills improved for the past, right? And yes, I will do this. Maybe every year.



Because this is the first time that I would be doing this, I thought of starting off from 2012.

Personally, 2012 is like the peak of my graphics “era” because it was the time that I devoted myself to graphics alone. I have been a member of a certain forum and it became my home for more than a year. And through that forum, I encountered a lot of humans who does the same hobbies as me. And that’s where it all began.

Reading Valley is Linzz’s personal blog where she will be posting things she’s interested in and some of her works.

The blog title was originally come from one of the stories that I wrote before – a sequel to give justice to my characters from My Letter To You.

Ever since then, me and my friends decided to have a small “dream”. And that is to, one day, create a shop that would exactly be like Reading Valley. And because of it, I also decided to name this blog after that shop.

I am an enthusiast of a lot of things. May it be music, animation, manga, books, cosplay, and if I have the money and time, I love to travel to places my feet hasn't reached yet.

I love reading to the point of collecting books in my own room and even go as far as dreaming that my room will be filled with books and other things I like.

I have been a fan of two Vocaloids, Rin and Len Kagamine and ever since my internet life began, I have been carrying Rin Kagamine as my online avatar. I also dream of filling my room with all the yellowness of Rin and Len.
