Tsurune is a Japanese anime about a school kyūdō (Japanese archery) club, with all the usual things a sports anime has,— except that kyūdō players shoot in silence, sothat instead of the usual primal-scream-final-desperate-strike-at-goal nonsense we get beautifully animated scenes of quiet splendour.

‘Division Bells’ is a novella by Iona Datt Sharma that I enjoy both as a love story and as a lucid depiction of how legislation is written by an army of passionate civil servants grinding away at the details of policy for one corner of an infrastructure bill.
Tiger, Tiger is an amazing and beautifully drawn webcomic by Petra Erika Nordlund about a young noble lady who steals her brother's identity and his ship to sail across the world to find love and adventure, and to write a book about her favourite subject: the fascinating life cycle of sea sponges!
