Fandom Promos

[galerian_ash]

Have you already decided what fandom(s) to write for? If so, how about doing a little promoting? :D

We've all chosen tiny obscure canons, needless to say. But by posting here you might be able to entice someone else to give it a try — or perhaps you'll even run into a fellow fan, who can't wait to read your coming fic.

Your promo can be long or short, and contain whatever you feel like. Want to post a couple of intriguing screencaps from a movie? Quote a few paragraphs from a book? Rec the best episode of an anime or a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character and/or pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!

Sesame Salt and Pudding is a josei romance manga written by Suzuki Yufuko. It's also known as Goma Shio to Purin, Black Sesame Salt and Custard Pudding, and Salt & Pepper and Pudding.

It was officially translated once before, but there's a brand new English translation available to read on MangaPlaza!

Summary from MangaPlaza:

"On the day they met, they got married and started living together?! While out drinking, Haruhi, a construction worker who's always surrounded by men, meets Nagato, a middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair. She drunkenly tells him to marry her, and just like that, they get married and start living together! A heart-pounding rom-com about a shotgun wedding between a middle-aged man and a blue-collar working girl!"

I saw the manga recommended online around the time I really got into age-gap ships, and I enjoyed it! The MC is much younger than the love interest, but she's in a better financial position than him, and has an unorthodox job which subverts the trope in an interesting way. The characters are compelling, and I enjoyed watching them struggle to hide their accidental marriage from people while slowly falling in love.

Sadly, I don't see many people talking about the manga. I really hope one day it gets more popular and the series can get a physical English release!
