Here's a little something for those Nishioka Kyodai lovers out there! It's a little different from their usual fare in that it's just a straight up picture book rather than a manga, though the content is their usual dreamy weirdness. It's a short one at only sixty-some pages, but we do have some more stuff in the pipes so hopefully this will tide you over.

These are a couple of very short one-shots by the brother-and-sister duo Nishioka Kyodai. Back in the day, I translated a collection of one-shots (Sadness of the Heart) as well as a single-volume series (God's Child) with Kotonoha, and having recently recovered those scanlations, I've reposted them on my site, if you haven't read them and are interested.
