Reimagining Valentine’s Day: The Story Behind Trembling Valentine’s Day
Trembling Valentine’s Day
When I began writing Trembling Valentine’s Day, I wanted to create a story that explored the intersection of identity, love, and societal expectations. The idea of reimagining Valentine’s Day through the lens of ancient Roman traditions fascinated me. What if Valentine’s Day wasn’t just about chocolates and confessions of love, but a transformative experience that challenged everything you thought you knew about yourself?
The novel is part of my Japanesque TS series, which focuses on the emotional and psychological aspects of gender transformation rather than the physical. Rio’s journey is not just about wearing a dress or playing a role—it’s about discovering who he truly is and finding the courage to embrace it.
Through the lens of Japanese culture and the unique traditions of Valentine’s Day, I hope to offer readers a story that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world.
