Well, a friend of mine whose rather more of an expert in Japan then me, read the first story. Commented on basic research, lack thereof; lack of political/sociological context for the story from the Kojiki she's adapting; probable use of out-of-date Chamberlin translations; messy use of tenses. And so on.

At this point, I fully expect ninjas and geishas. And probably Wolverine, too.
