More Sasra speculation

While looking for something else I came across a blog entry that speculates on who wrote what story in Sasra. She lists it as:

プロローグ　剛将と蓮の出会い、エジプトに向かいます・・岩本薫
Prologue: Goushou and Ren meet and go to Egypt-Iwamoto Kaoru

１話、アケト×セシェン　古代エジプト編・・ひちわゆか
Story 1: Ahekt x Seshan Ancient Egypt-Hichiwa Yuka

２話、鷹峻×紅蓮　古代中国編・・木原音瀬
Story 2: Oushun x Kouren Ancient China-Konohara Narise

３話、アンドレアス×ルキウス　古代ローマ編・・和泉桂
Story 3: Alexandrius x Lucius Ancient Rome-Izumi Katsura

４話、レオンハルト×アルフォンス・・ひちわゆか
Story 4: Leonhart x Alphonse-Hichiwa Yuka

５話、リカルド×キリヤ　インカ帝国編・・和泉　桂
Story 5: Ricardo x Kiriya Inca Empire-Izumi Katsura

６話、幸之助×いち　江戸時代・・木原音瀬
Story 6: Kounosuke x Ichi Tokugawa Japan-Konohara Narise

７話、京介×竜　昭和初期・・ひちわゆか
Story 7: Kyousuke x Ryuu Early Showa Japan-Hichiwa Yuka

８話、剛将×蓮・・岩本　薫
Story 8: Goushou x Ren-Iwamoto Kaoru

エピローグ　その後の剛将と蓮　合作（パートごとに担当）
Epilogue: Goushou and Ren after that-Collaboration

I can't help but agree that the two stories that actually end rather badly (or tragically), 2 and 6, were written by Kohonara Narise. Especially 6.

I took a look at the other authors, checking out their work on Amazon Japan, and I realized I'd definitely read two of them. I even wrote posts on their novels (Izumi Katsura and Iwamoto Kaoru). Unfortunately, I haven't read enough by them to judge. I don't think I've read anything by Hichiwa Yuka, but the titles of her books make me think she does a lot comedy. None of the stories were particularly comedic, though.

Via wednesday_10_00, I've learned that the illustrator for the Flesh & Blood series by Matsuoka Natsuki has been changed from Yukifuna Kaoru to some artist named Aya. The next cd drama (coming out in December) and the next book (coming out sometime soon after) will feature the new artist. Talk about a crappy choice: get delayed books and no inside illustrations or NOT YUKIFUNA ART.
