I wrote my short story “Supernova and 28” for this anthology!
An operative named Kei has a life-threatening secret he hides under his vain diva façade. But his secret is eating him alive – not just figuratively. Is there anyone Kei can trust to tell? He’s always had more than enough resourcefulness and ambition to get by, but when stars align, will he recognize what’s been given to him is a gift, not yet another fight to survive?
Ganbatte! is available for a limited time.
