My 13 year old cousin came back from a date with her boyfriend and said, "I can't wait to grow up and spend sunday afternoons with him." At first, I wanted to laugh (after all they're just 13), but I remember being 13 and having the world in my hands. I remember getting excited to talk to someone about my dreams and wishes, and how happy these daydreams and fantasies made me. There's this innocence you can only have at 13 and the world rises and falls and crashes and burns every year... until you do not think about quiet sunday afternoons.

So I asked her about the date and heard her giggle about bubblegum flavored ice cream, and how much she loves this little life. I think she makes me love it too.

-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The world is a sphere of ice and our hands are made of fire

Now that HnR is over, Damn Feels is moving on to other projects. However, with our translators unavailable and most of our members flooded with exams, we’re in dire need of more staff.

Japanese to English Translators: URGENT No experience is necessary, however a reasonably good grasp of Japanese and English is required. Cleaners: URGENT Experience is preferred but not necessary. Experience with Photoshop is required. Messengers such as Line, Viber, Skype etc. are highly preferred, especially for training. In the past we’ve been picky about cleaners but right now we’re willing to train you if need be.

Proofreaders No experience necessary, however a firm understanding of English and good grasp of grammar is required.

You would have the opportunity to work on the following manga:
