In Blasphemous Proclamation

昨日は I was photo-shot with my crown of thorns.  All this was inspired by two sources:  Ororon The Devil (the manga), and my novel TETHERED ROMANCE.  そして, きってください…. Let me tell you a story.

The demon falls for the angel. The angel falls for the demon. And all the forces in Heaven, in Hell, and on Earth try to stop them because they are two most powerful beings, and when combined they are a weapon of mass destruction. They suffer for a while while they swim through the wreckage that life creates around them, and they emerge victorious, and together, in the end.

Such is my story. And so too is Seishin’s story, and the reason why he says

Take the light from my crooked halo, and leave me with a crown of thorns.

Imagery in my novels is something I prize greatly as my writing style is done in metaphors – imagery and symbolism are what I use to make points and develop themes. When an image becomes so greatly a part of the story, such as the representation of Seishin’s eternal damnation and quest for purity, it manifests itself in my life.

And the story above is from Ororon The Devil, yet speaks of myself and the Buddhist so accurately.
