    About this ebook

    The REN'AI RENSAI (Serial of Love) series is an ongoing look into one lesbian relationship over the span of decades, told in non-chronological order in novel, novella, novelette and short story formats.

    "DAISUKI."

    Approximately 43,000 words, or 170 pages.


    Aiko and Reina have been together for almost 20 years, yet one thing remains unsaid between them: "Daisuki," or, "I love you." As they approach their anniversary, their relationship comes to an impasse as Aiko the Japanese housewife begins demanding "I love you" with a side of marriage and romance.

    But Reina doesn't understand complex concepts like "love" or other heavy emotions. She's spent years supporting her girlfriend via a soul-sucking salary job and tending to their mutual needs in the bedroom. Isn't that sufficient? In a culture demanding Reina choose between the "feminine" and the "masculine" worlds, it's bad enough she's trying to find her role without Aiko adding extra pressure.

    Some words need not saying, but "I love you" is about to destroy a relationship already surviving strange side-lovers and even stranger exploits.

    "DAISUKI." takes place from December, 2011 - July, 2012.

    All copies now come with a first scene preview of book 2, "HATSUKOI." at the end of the book.

        Graphic language
        Sexual situations
        Polyamory / Open relationships
        Gender dysphoria
        A lot of love for women who love women.

      How someone managed to include such complexities into a novella is extraordinary. I loved the main characters, the unfolding of their lives, the glimpses into Japanese domesticity and the interplay of gender and commitment. It made me want to travel, eat good food and call my family to thank them for supporting my queerness. Beautiful.
