It’s all fine and good. The setting is unique and interesting but more and more I am realizing there will never be queer folks in this authors writing - no matter how alien and full of possibilities these stories are. 

How is it that there can be so much imagination and yet cannot imagine a world where the love story is not between a man/boy and a woman/girl.

Anyway, here’s a summary for me so I don’t have to read it again:

Two characters from different worlds are forced into a relationship with each other by supernatural forces. They have to figure out why this is happening to him. The most interesting thing about it is the role that Yumi pays in her world of evoking spirits and binding them to physical things to help serve the people in her world.
