This is a weird question but in school I need to read 5 short stories and write small review entries about said stories. I was wondering how many short stories do you know? Sorry if this is worded weirdly, I didn't know how to type out my thoughts. Thank you and hopefully you understand what I mean.

I know a lot of short stories by the Japanese BSD authors. I’ll include a list of some of my favorites and some links (because a lot of the books are expensive and out of print):
“The Moon Over the Mountain” by Nakajima Atsushi: link
“Run, Melos!” by Dazai Osamu: link
“Meat and Potatoes” by Kunikida Doppo: link
“The Self-Made Man” by Kunikida Doppo: link
“The Human Chair” by Edogawa Ranpo: link (starts on PDF page 14)
“The Psychological Test” by Edogawa Ranpo: link (starts on PDF page 37)
“Night on the Galactic Railroad” by Miyazawa Kenji: link
“Rashoumon” by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke: link (download the PDF)
“The Dancing Girl” by Mori Ogai: link
“Lemon” by Kajii Motojiro: link
“The State of the Times” by Oda Sakunosuke: link
“In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom” by Sakaguchi Ango: link
These are just some of my favorites that are also great examples of Japanese short stories. All the links come from the BSD Recommended Reading List, and there are a lot more short stories in this list, so feel free to browse and see if there are any that you would like to use.
If you want to have more Western authors then you can use the following sites for Western BSD authors:
Edgar Allen Poe
H.P. Lovecraft
Franz Kafka
And this website has links to short stories by a variety of authors like Anton Chekhov, Mark Twain, Herman Melville, and Ray Bradbury: bookbub.com
I hope that this can be helpful with your assignment! If you’re like me and you want to read shorter stories that have a lot of meaning in them then I would start with “The Moon Over the Mountain,” “Rashoumon,” “Lemon,” and “Run, Melos!” Those stories are also studied in Japanese schools, if that helps you know what stories to choose. But if you don’t care what length then any of them will do. It would be fun to write about “The Human Chair” because it’s more of a mystery/horror story, or “The Psychological Test.” But really just find five short stories that resonate with you and go with it!
Good luck, and I’m happy to help if you have any more questions!

What happens in chapter 37 of the haikyuu manga?
This happens in it.

I actually love how Kōyō's right eye is specifically covered and not her left because the right eye is mostly believed to be "good" or to represent "Heaven." While the left eye is to represent the "devil" or "hell." This is again connected to connected to Kōyō's beliefs on the world itself. When we see the panel of when Kōyō was much younger, she had both eyes visible, but in present timeline and overall after the death of the older man she attempted to escape with, her right eye is covered. This is actually to show how Kōyō can't see anything but darkness now. She has covered the good part of herself and has accepted the darkness and cruelty of the mafia. She had both eyes present when she was younger because she had the chance of being in the light. But now, that chance is gone, and she is stuck in the dark, refusing to come out. We can also see that she almost always has her right hand covered, again, symbolising how she has become the darkness in a way. The right hand is considered holy, and the fact that she often covers it is such an interesting detail.
This also greatly reforms there whole "siblings -in -everything but- not -blood" as currently chuuya is walking the same path as kōyō did once just in a different way, chuuya's path started out different from kōyō but I can see him covering his right eye again if he becomes the next pm boss . The same path different shoes.
Similarly chuuya also is sporting a similar hair style by covering his right eye or the "good" , "heavenly" because he refuses to believe in the good of the people after the deaths of the flags of his friends
This also makes chuuya seem more similar to verlaine as he is literally having the same hairstyle as him , showing his possible sway to his older brothers words and actions
The absolute joy it brings me to see a post of mine as that header kinda thing. I'm like AIANISNSISNSOSMWIDNDJDN😭😭😭👹
Why must i be hurt like this
regulus black got asked to be james' boyfriend on january 4th, 1976, his fifth year and the day the sun was closest to earth. he thought it was always meant to be like that.
and he died on july 5th, 1979. the day the sun was farthest from earth. with his last breath, he realised it was also always meant to be like that.
TV girl x powder/jinx = masterpiece
My endgame 💫
Silico was a bad man , but a good dad
"what's your favourite horror movie?" I don't know? Maybe the fact that izana realised that he was about the lose the person he cared the most about and didn't even hesitate to sacrifice himself? And that warm smile he gave in the end?
