will check out this writer, but real; reason I'm visiting was I thought this might be of interest.

I've got a copy of a collection of short stories by Hoshi Shinichi which I hope to read at some point in the near future, an interesting author. I don't think that these two stories are included though so thanks for the link!. EnJoe Toh has only a couple of short stories in translation, see the post on Japanese Literature Charity Project to read one, the other is in Speculative Japan 2, published by the Kurodahan Press.
Yes I've seen the Speculative Japan series & want to check them out further at some point.
