Here’s my newest project: Liberty, a new yuri manga serialized on Galette, drawn by Momono Moto and written by the famous seiyuu Kitta Izumi. The main character is a lesbian OL who meets in an unexpected way, a mysterious and fascinating girl.
First (relevant) post! How exciting! I guess I should start with some explanations about Tanka and Fujiwara no Teika. Tanka 短歌 (Short poem) is a type of Japanese poetry composed by 31 syllables divided in a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern. One of the master of this kind of poetry was Fujiwara no Teika (or Sadaie) 藤原定家 (1162-1241) poet, critic, calligrapher and much more. Like his father, he was a true authority in the field of poetry and compiled two imperial anthologies: the Shinkokinwakashū 新古今和歌集 and the Shinchokusenwakashū 新勅撰和歌集. He also compiled the famous Hyakunin isshu 百人一首(one poem by a thousand poets), maybe you heard about this one thanks to anime. But enough with the history lesson, let’s take a look at two tanka.
