![]() ![]() I’m very excited to see a bit more of these young men… well, human and burgeoning deity. And, to be honest, why not read something short and lovely? It’s well written and timeless storytelling. ![]() I’ve just reread it as Xia Xia Lake is writing a more intimate scene between Kokaji, a human who is budding swordsmith, and Kogitsune, a shapeshifting Kitsune, and I wanted this fresh in my mind again. It was completely endearing and the MCs held an ethereal quality because of the world and the time. ![]() ‘Kogitsune’ is a retelling of the famous Noh theater play ‘Kokaji’, a story about a swordsmith who requests the help of the Inari god to build a sword for emperor Ichijo (980-1011). However, the vast differences of the worlds they live in can’t be ignored, as their relationship is frowned upon by both humans and spirits.Īs Kogitsune’s feelings for his human friend turn from friendship to something deeper, he will learn that love can be all consuming and heartbreaking. A friendship between a young fox god and his human childhood friend is built on deception, but grows stronger and purer as it’s driven by common purpose.
