I've seen you and some folks talk about sienna as a lover of Anthony. I've read most of the series but I haven't stumbled onto a sienna in the books only maria in VWLM the opera singer. Who is she?

Siena is Maria Rosso in the books, they’ve changed her name. Probably because it’s so similar to Marina to help avoid confusion.

Fav guznadia moment?

FAVORITE scene of them? from all three seasons??? oh man it’s got to be the s01e06 walk back from the prison and the hug they share. like i don’t even have the words to describe why it’s so so so good but i’ll try.

first is just the scene is so pretty to look at. they’re walking down a quiet cobbled street in a residential neighborhood and it’s like they’re in their own little world. the sun is bright and shining and they’re all backlit and shit. and nadia’s in her green jumpsuit with the little red flowers stitched in and matching hijab, and she just looks like the cutest thing on earth. and guzman’s in a suede jacket, and i always appreciate a good jacket. (if anyone wants to indulge me and write a fic where nadia takes one of guzman’s jackets to nyc...please go ahead.) and he’s still got his s01 hair! *chef’s kiss*

and then there’s the actual conversation they have. they’re *so* sweet here UGH! guzman thanks her for helping him with his dad, and he teases her about really liking him cause she put off studying, the most important thing to her, for him, and she’s all “hold up, boy, we’re just friends” and then guzman becomes serious and kind of even shy???? SCREAM and he’s like “i don’t want to be your friend” which becomes refrain for them. and nadia tells him he’s gonna have to get used to not always getting what he wants, which is such great line cause it’s flirtatious but it’s also pointing to how guzman will change with and because of her, how he’ll temper himself, how he won’t push her too much or ask her to compromise herself even as he makes clear to her that he loves her and wants to be with her and is willing to wait or talk to her parents or do whatever she wants---she can and will set the parameters and pace of their relationship. respectful king! and he’s all “you’re the first girl i’ve ever meant it with” which is such a smooth fucking line, if any man ever says this to you you need to turn and run, but it works here cause he’s actually being sincere????  and he knows how ridiculous he sounds and nadia knows how ridiculous he sounds, and he actually looks kind of chagrined about it.

which is the other thing about this scene, how mina and miguel play it. they are *so good* here! their chemistry!!! and by chemistry i don’t mean some ineffable thing that can’t be defined. i mean they can’t stop grinning at each other, and they play it as shy and honest and vulnerable and hopeful and joyful all at once, and then!!!!!! nadia pulls guzman in for a hug!!!!! and it’s *so* intimate cause the only other time they’ve touched each other really is in s01e02 when she grabs him by the arms to throw him in his pool but he turns it around on her. and guzman tucks his nose into her neck!!! he tucks. his nose. into. her neck. SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN!!! and then we see his face and he’s cheesing so hard and then his face settles into this like contentment. and then for nadia this moment is so revelatory, cause it shows how comfortable she is with guzman, that she can hug him like this (a callback to ep2 when guzman says “i feel comfortable with you”), and it’s also a moment of her showing her desire, with how she closes her eyes and like indulges in the hug and then pulls back and *gazes* at guzman and holds him by the neck (she full on caresses him) and like *2005 pride and prejudice almost kisses him* and their noses almost touch and they’re on the precipice of something right before she pulls back and holds herself in check!!!---

AND THE WHOLE TIME THEIR THEME SONG IS PLAYING OVER IT LIKE!!!!! the power that that has. the intelligence that that has. the clearance that that has. the access that that has. the influence that that has. the profile that that has. the international implications that that has. UNMATCHED.

not to mention in this interview (i think?) miguel was all “mina and i shared a real transformative moment while filming” and i’m pretty sure he was talking about that scene.

anyway, yeah. that’s my fav moment of theirs.

Hi CafeScans I was wondering on the next update for Otome Youkai Zakuro? I heard it was dropped by the mangaka but I'm not sure if thats true or if the release is still being pushed back. Thanks for all your hard work, you guys are the best!! <3

Hello there,

Yes, Café Scanlation is still doing Otome Youkai Zakuro, but there has yet to be a release from the mangaka. I’m not sure whether or not she dropped it yet, since I have not seen an official announcement (maybe I missed it). I believe she is still on her maternity hiatus, since Kigurumi Boueitai is on a hiatus as well... All I can say sadly is that we have to wait...
