Cats of Ulthar

No unsolicited DMs, please. Let’s keep conversations public. A quiet cat sketching ShuMika’s horoscopes from the Ulthar woods.

[rankasousaku]

Hello and welcome. I’m Ranka, a Japanese creator. I mainly create fanworks for Ensemble Stars!, with a focus on Shu Ituki and Mika Kagehira (Shumika).

I don't speak English well, so I use ChatGPT to help me translate and share my works here.

My stories weave sweet, painful, and emotionally rich moments into the bond between these two. Themes include Omegaverse, psychological tension, and mythological motifs.

⚠️ Please note: I am a fujoshi, and many of my works contain romantic and sexual content between male characters.

🖋️ Fiction → #ranka_fic 🎨 Art → #ranka_art 📌 You can also find my works via: #shumika, #宗みか, #ヴァルキュリー

Even if you don’t read Japanese, please don’t worry. My ChatGPT assistant says that my writing is suitable for AI translation. I hope that—with the help of your favorite AI—you can trace the constellation of stories I’ve written.

Thank you for visiting. If any part of this little world touches your heart, that alone would bring me the greatest joy. 🐈‍⬛

📖 Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket — The Angel’s Egg / Mika’s Chapter

There is a proverb: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

It warns us not to entrust everything to one place.

But fate does not work that way.

Even so, love exists in order to choose one irreplaceable thing.

A record of Mika reaching beyond Happiness Theory. A story modeled after it, carrying a love that could no longer remain hidden.

This story is the counterpart to The Devil’s Egg / Shu’s Chapter. Each can be read separately, but reading both will reveal the full picture.

Content warnings: death-related themes, unstable relationships, injury/illness. No actual character death or graphic gore.

📖 Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket — The Devil’s Egg / Shu’s Chapter

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

A Russian proverb warns us never to entrust everything to a single place.

But fate does not work that way.

Art can only stand upon what cannot be divided.

A record born from Happiness Theory—the moment where perfection begins to crack.

A secret that was never meant to be revealed.

Content warnings

Themes involving death (no actual character death)

🕊️ New Story

A mysterious invitation arrives on Mika’s bed.

Before he even opens it, he already knows who sent it.

The scent of the perfume… the antique paper… and a single elegant sentence written in French.

What begins as an invitation to an exhibition slowly turns into something far more personal.

A small art dump! Mostly ShuMika, though Mika definitely stole the spotlight. 💛🩵

Finally posting a bunch of sketch-stream drawings I’ve been collecting! They’re mostly ShuMika… although, honestly, it’s almost all Mika. ✨

Spring’s Invitation

A single invitation, written in French.

An exhibition of Valkyrie’s costumes. Letters from cherished friends. A journey through memories, stitched together one outfit at a time.

Until the final dress awaits.

記憶の渚、小波にて潮騒の音を聞き。

At the Shore of Memory, Listening to the Murmurs of the Tide

English

At the shore of forgotten memories,

he simply stands beside him and offers his hand.

Calmly, yet profoundly.

Neither knowing yet that this is what love is called.

Mika, who has lost his memories—

and Shu, who chooses to stand by him.

Led by the sound of the waves,

where will their path take them?

日本語

失われた記憶の渚で、

彼はただ隣に立ち、手を差し出す。

淡々と、けれど深く。

それが愛と呼ばれるものだと、まだ知らぬまま。

記憶を失ったみかと、彼を支える宗。

潮騒に導かれる二人の行く先は——。

Novel Cover Illustration — Read to Lead: A Prayer Turns to Play

厚塗り小説表紙 — Read to Lead: A Prayer Turns to Play

✨ ENGLISH ✨

This is a painted novel cover illustration I created for my own story Read to Lead: A Prayer Turns to Play.

The world is woven with fragile beauty, books that whisper prayers, and a fairytale atmosphere that twists gently into the surreal.

I wanted the cover to feel like a glimpse into another world—delicate, mysterious, and slightly unsettling.

Would you like to step into this story? 📖🦋
