I am taking a break during the holiday season for my mental health so I can better focus my energy on self-care and spending time with family. I have had quite a spike in my stress, anxiety, and depression levels in the last few months because of my working hours (remember I work 90+ hours a week and have to travel abroad at short notice often), family/personal issues (financials, shortcomings, injuries/death), and the latest happenings with my country's government (which deeply trouble me).
I'm sad to say that I need a break, but I think stepping away for a bit is the best thing for me and my family right now. Don't worry though, this isn't good-bye forever, just for a few months so I can get my bearings and come back stronger.
I wish you all the best of luck and joy during this holiday season, and I hope that you are able to spend it with those who care about you and whom you love ❤️
I've noticed the last chapter and infosode published prematurely (they were scheduled and I forgot) so I will work on fixing those 2 episodes and writing the next one on break at my own pace 👍🏼
Rima Takai moves to Japan as a foreign exchange student in order to retrace her family history, but her life is turned upside-down after she meets fellow high school student, Hatori Kurosaki. While he may appear human, he is actually a vampire, and a cursed one at that! Every night on a New Moon, his tether weakens and he unwillingly shifts into something much more sinister: his alter-ego, Satori! After reluctantly agreeing to protect Hatori's secret, she finds out that her family has been keeping dark secrets of their own . . . and some things are better left buried.

This is the Novel Version of my Webtoon Canvas series: Dark Side of the Moon!
The original Webtoon can be found here:

Originally published in English on Webtoon, I plan on uploading chapters translated for Spanish, Japanese, and Korean readers sometime in 2026. This series is for ages 16+ and features flawed characters (which gain character growth and development with time, I promise!), vampires, mythical creatures, blood, violence, teenage shenanigans, and tough topics like depression, abuse, and bullying. There are a few instances of dubious consent (such as drunk make-outs or kissing without asking), and I utilize the "mature" banner on any chapter that I think might be more mature than age 16. I always place trigger warnings at the begining of each chapter if I think it has any. If I miss one, please nicely let me know in the comments so I can fix it.
This is my first series so please be patient and kind, thank you!
I hope you like my stories!
