The time it took for a letter to travel the distance between them caused them to spend over a full year talking about the differences between fleeting glances and purposeful stares amidst paragraphs and paragraphs of bitter politics. For some reason, Kiku felt as though he was reading it all over again as he looked at Arthur, that man who had long since become as good as a stranger to him. 

Was it really with him that he had exchanged those letters?

Fun fact: The reason why it's 9½ Thousand Kilometres is because that's the distance between London and Tokyo :)

Love Letters From 9½ Thousand Kilometres is now digitally available!

Over the year we've been working on an asakiku fanzine for everyone to enjoy and now it has been completed 🥳 Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who contributed something to zine ❤️ It is now available and uploaded onto Google Drive for anyone to download for free, so please enjoy it!

Link to PDF download (Google Drive)

(Any problems with the link or download? Don't be afraid to tell us!)

We hope asakiku remains loved for many more years to come. Thank you very much for supporting us and reading our zine.

[9500kmloveletters]

I hope everyone is ready for the beautiful works everyone made 🥰 Trust me, it was tough trying to pick out which sections I should give as a preview. I might as well release whole zine right now!

[9500kmloveletters]

Long time no see! The zine has been a work in progress over the year and we're finally in the homestretch. Our zine will be available to everyone in just three days! We'll be releasing it on the 23rd of November 2025 (this coming Sunday)

Everyone's worked really hard on it so please look forward to it (*≧∇≦)ﾉ" We have just about 50 pages of illustrations and fanfiction, and (as a personal opinion from the admin) all of it is just good it makes me want to cry (T_T)

In the meanwhile... Here's the front cover for everyone to see 👀
