The Knights Himura is an action thriller story series and my first major ongoing writing project, with two published volumes: The Knights Himura and Tsukiko's Belonging.

Both are available now on RoyalRoad.

Volume No.1 - The Knights Himura:

When someone she loves is stabbed in the street by a masked assailant, Tsukiko Himura makes a vow to find who's responsible. Her search pulls her into a brewing conflict between two rival street gangs, the safety of the entire city hanging in the balance.

With the jacket and newfound responsibility of a Knight Himura, Tsukiko takes to the streets, her quest for revenge becoming a quest to protect the people of Tokyo from all-out war.

Volume No.2 - Tsukiko's Belonging:

After two years of crushing gangs and protecting the innocent as Tokyo's Third Knight Himura, Tsukiko has earned the fear of criminals, and the respect of citizens and police alike. This new found notoriety is a double edged sword however, as while investigating a new street gang known as Themis, Tsukiko unwittingly begins to unravel a large-scale conspiracy meant to end her work for good.

Cornered and forced to fight to survive, Tsukiko will do everything in her power to uncover and expose the truth behind the enigmatic forces targeting her.

The Knights Himura is a mystery / thriller story set in Tokyo, Japan, following young woman Tsukiko Himura as she seeks revenge on the man who stabbed her girlfriend. Along the way, she discovers an old secret: The Knights Himura, who were once feared vigilantes that brought criminals to justice in the years past.

It's anime inspired with action and surrealist elements. It's probably the project I'm most proud of and I've been working on it for literally years at this point.

Tsukiko's Belonging continues Tsukiko's story two years after the events of the first volume. A more mature Third Knight Himura discovers a conspiracy to destroy her, and she find herself backed into a corner time and time again as she desperately tries to defend her own title and honor.

It's still an action story, but it's a bit slower than the first volume, with the story focusing more on the protagonist's internal frustrations and her feelings of aimlessness and fear when up against an invisible and insurmountable enemy.

If, for some reason, you follow me, I'd appreciate it if you at least gave my writing a glance. Thank you.

What video game can you not complete without cheat codes?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Probably Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. I used to cheat my way through the license tests, mostly cuz I was too lazy to do them myself.

The first three Ridge Racer games, and most outwardly, Rage Racer, all feature a sample of a call made during Apollo 11, where Richard Nixon says "For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this earth are truly one."

Which is to say, it would be real funny if someone made Ridge Racer music and sampled that guy saying "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

the phrase "this machine kills fascists" has gone through enough layers of meaning that I think it's come all the way back around to where the funniest thing you could put it on would be a gun

Objectively the funniest (and only memorable) time I've been blocked on any website was when Jordan Peterson posted "nobody knew about transgenderism five years ago" on twitter and I quoted it with "you've been saying this for ten years"
