Quick Sketch

Aika Misora never planned to fall in love. Not with the boy who sat alone on rooftops, or the one who pressed flowers instead of speaking his pain. But some stories don’t wait to be written — they bloom in silence, in shared glances, in the weight of unsaid things. After her mother’s quiet abandonment, Aika survives high school by keeping her heart zipped shut. Her world is routine: library lunches, hushed notebooks, and pretending everything’s fine. Until she meets Ren Hayashi, the quiet sketch-artist with rumors on his name and bruises in his smile. He doesn’t talk much. But his silence says everything. Drawn together by chance — and maybe fate — the two begin to orbit each other in secret places: the abandoned rooftop, the library’s back corner, the flower shop that smells like lost time. As seasons shift, so do they. Slowly. Tenderly. Terrifyingly. But love, even the gentle kind, brings buried pain to the surface. And when a long-unopened letter from Aika’s mother resurfaces, the wounds between them deepen — not enough to break, but enough to test whether two broken hearts can really hold each other. A soft, grief-tinged coming-of-age romance about first love, second chances, and what it means to stay — even when everything else leaves.

All I wanted to do was draw. I’m Eli Walker. Quiet. Awkward. Invisible to most people—except my best friend Jay, a loudmouth pervert with zero shame. My life was simple: go to school, avoid attention, and sketch the world around me. Until Valentine’s Day. That’s when three girls confessed to me at the same time—each holding chocolate... and each having somehow seen my secret sketches of them. Now, I’m stuck in a whirlwind of stolen glances, jealous standoffs, love letters, and accidental fanservice—while Jay cheers me on like this is some kind of anime. The worst part? More girls keep falling for me. And all I did was draw. I didn’t mean to build a light harem. But my pencil might have other plans.

Haruki Minami is perfectly content fading into the background of East Sakuragaoka High—quiet, awkward, and happiest behind the pages of his sketchbook. As the newly appointed president of the nearly-forgotten manga club, all he wants is to draw stories that matter… even if no one else ever sees them. Yuki Tachibana, the feared and flawless student council president, lives by schedules, rules, and sharp-tongued comebacks. But beneath her pristine exterior is a girl who once believed in art—and hasn’t picked up a pencil since. When an unexpected school policy forces Haruki’s club under review, Yuki becomes his reluctant overseer. But what starts as formal inspection turns into stolen afternoons, chaotic clubroom moments, and the slow unraveling of walls they didn’t know they’d built. And as Haruki’s newest manga begins to look suspiciously familiar—featuring a tsundere student council president and a shy boy with a pencil in hand—Yuki begins to realize: She’s not just reading his story. She’s living it.

Zoya Khan doesn’t believe in love anymore — not after everything she’s lost. Quiet, thoughtful, and guarded, she’s just trying to get through her new college life without making a sound. But when she’s paired with Ayaan Mirza — the mysterious artist with his own haunted past — silence begins to speak louder than words. What starts as a sketch turns into something neither of them expected: a connection neither of them asked for, but both might need. A clean, slow-burn romance about healing, trust, and the art of understanding.

Rowan Takeda expected a quiet freshman year—maybe some sketching, maybe some girls, definitely no weapons-grade AIs. But that was before the ICS Lightning chose him. Now he's Avalon Naval Institute’s first male Captain in over a decade… and his life is a full-blown firestorm. At Avalon, the cadets are the weapons: beautiful, brilliant, and bonded to living warships with more firepower than most nations. Rowan just wanted to keep his head down, but after crash-landing (literally) into the wrong dorm room—occupied by a half-dressed German dreadnought—he's declared a pervert, challenged to a formal duel, and suddenly has the entire academy watching his every move. The good news? He’s got Lightning: a flirty, high-spec AI with a taste for chaos and an unhealthy interest in his love life. The bad news? Every Captain here is armed to the teeth, emotionally volatile, and drop-dead gorgeous. And some of them are starting to take a little too much interest in the new boy with the killer instincts and the soft heart. Explosions, duels, emotional confessions, and skin-tight sync suits—Rowan’s going to have to fight to survive, outmaneuver old rivalries, and figure out if falling in love with a battleship is more dangerous than war itself. This is college. This is combat. This is My Life as a Collegiate Battlecruiser.

Maya used to dream in colors—until life dimmed everything to gray. Haunted by silence and the weight of her past, she retreats from the world, her voice buried beneath trauma and fear. But when a quiet stranger named Luca notices her in a small café and leaves behind more than just a kind smile, Maya is pulled into an unexpected connection—one that stirs something long lost inside her. As sketches bloom on her forgotten pages and hidden talents awaken, Maya begins to rediscover not only her art—but her courage. Yet Luca carries a secret of his own, and their stories may be more entwined than she realizes. In a tale of healing, hidden strength, and second chances, From Broken to Brave – A Story of Quiet Strength explores the power of silent resilience, the magic of being seen, and the hope that sometimes finds you when you least expect it.

The sky shimmered with twin suns, casting warm hues over rolling hills and ancient forests. The air itself buzzed with an unseen energy, and the very ground beneath his feet hummed faintly, as if alive with secrets waiting to be unraveled. He blinked against the unfamiliar light, confusion etched across his face. But confusion quickly gave way to awe. A bird soared overhead, trailing glimmers of blue light in its wake. Nearby, a child pointed a finger at a fallen branch, whispering a single word—and the wood floated into the air, spinning gently before settling neatly into a bundle. Magic. It was real. Tangible. Everywhere. In that moment, a hunger was born in him. Not a hunger for food, nor for wealth or fame, but something far deeper—a yearning. A need. An obsession. The magic of this world, this radiant, endless force that danced in the air and bled through every leaf and stone, had sparked something inside him. And each passing day only fanned that flame higher. His only goal became understanding Magic and growing in Magic. It consumed his thoughts. He chased rumors of ancient scrolls, watched from shadows as mages cast their spells, and spent sleepless nights sketching symbols he didn’t yet understand. He would kneel before old statues and listen to forgotten songs, desperate to catch even a whisper of arcane truth. Because he knew—knowledge was the key. The key to understanding this world. The key to understanding Magic. And knowledge… was the key to understanding the Universe.

Iris Wren has spent years holding the pieces together—after losing her family, after watching her brother die, after becoming the adult in a home with a guardian too shattered to speak most days. The world thinks she’s doing fine. They don’t know she works three jobs, can’t sleep without the closet light on, and draws the same pair of brown eyes in every sketch. Lucian is the only thing that makes sense. He understands her silence. Knows how to find her when she hides. Says the things no one else does. They meet at the edge of her breaking point, when she's numb and just starting a new school. No one questions him. Not her teachers, not the barista who takes both their orders, not even her. But as the year unfolds, as she begins to connect with a classmate who refuses to let her vanish, and as Lucian begins glitching in ways that feel off, Iris starts to question what’s real. The truth is simple, devastating, and silent. Lucian never existed. But the pain he helped her survive? That was always real.

The rain never ceased. It fell in glittering sheets across a shattered landscape, soaking ash-covered ruins and roots that remembered too much. Long after the Garden devoured itself, and the Hollow King faded into rot and stillness, something ancient began to wake beneath the dirt. Kaien was born from that silence—branded, forgotten, and buried by a past he can't outrun. He has no legacy, only a sword that should no longer exist and memories that don't belong to him. When he joins paths with Eris, a survivor marred by the Garden’s corruption, and Ilya, a girl who sketches what hasn't happened yet, their fates begin to intertwine beneath the black rain. Something is drawing them east—through the remnants of the Sovereign’s vaults, past fields of salt and memory. Whispers become louder. Pendants bloom like seeds. And under every foot, the dirt remembers. This isn’t a story of heroes. This is a story of what rises from the wreckage. Of those who choose what to bury—and what to become.

In a fractured sky where floating continents drift over the endless void, memory is no longer permanent. Kael Virex, a quiet boy who sketches reality into being, and Zayen Thorne, his electrifying and impulsive brother, live on the scrap-isle of Kairoth — until a living crystal crashes into their lives and shatters everything they know. Touched by the unknown, they begin to unravel the truth: their world is not only broken, but forgetting itself. With every island that vanishes, with every person who blinks and forgets, the brothers grow stronger — but also less themselves. Hunted by the mysterious Pale Order, chased by assassins who erase laws of nature, and entangled in mysterious romances — one with a girl made of memories, and the other with a rebel courier who might not be real — Kael and Zayen must uncover the truth behind the “Pulse” that links them… before they forget who they are.
