Hi all,
I'm interested in reading some stores that feature a romance that is extremely tense / suspicious.
Where you're not sure if there will be, or should be a romance at all. The characters are deeply flawed, the interactions a bit.. off. The situations themselves may not be high stakes or life or death, but the author has the ability to make the anxieties of the characters permeate the page.
Good Examples;
Lost in the Cloud
Cheese in the Trap
The flower that was bloomed by a cloud
The Flower Dances and the Wind Sings
Raise wa Tanin ga Ii
Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?
