Call the Name of the Night (Vols. 1–3) — A Gentle Spell for the Overstimulated Soul

By Mitsuboshi Tama

There are stories that entertain, and then there are stories that feel like they gently take your hand and walk you back to the softest parts of yourself. Call the Name of the Night lives firmly in the second category.

By the end of volume three, I felt like I’d taken a quiet walk through moonlit forests, old libraries, and the kind of magic that doesn’t explode or conquer — it simply exists. And somehow, that makes it feel more powerful.

The art is beautifully stylized and dreamy, leaning more toward atmospheric fantasy than flashy spectacle. It reminds me of the emotional stillness of Studio Ghibli — that sense of pausing, breathing, and letting magic sit beside you instead of fight for attention. There’s also a soft, comforting hint of “magic school energy,” but it’s gentler, warmer, and more soul-centered than anything bombastic.

What I love most is the emotional texture. The story doesn’t rush. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand. It just quietly asks you to sit down for a while and remember what it felt like to believe in hidden worlds, whispered spells, and soft wonder.

The main character, a girl named Mira, has a condition that makes her reluctant to leave the safety of her home. She lives with a doctor who monitors and hopes to cure her condition and it's so sweet that its sad that there aren't more people like him in the world.

This manga feels like a warm cup of tea for your inner child.

If you’re overstimulated, burned out, or tired of stories that feel like a race to the next catastrophe, this is a perfect series to slow your heartbeat and soften your thoughts. It’s slice-of-life fantasy in the most healing way — calm, magical, reflective, and deeply kind.

I sincerely recommend Call the Name of the Night to anyone who wants their magic gentle, their pacing soft, and their heart a little lighter after closing the final page.

Thank you for always supporting my love for quiet, emotional, magical stories — they’re the same kind of stories I hope to give back to you through my own work. 🌙✨

Welcome to My World—Short Fiction, Big Feelings

Hey there, beautiful readers. I'm so glad you stumbled across this little corner of the internet, where stories smolder, hearts break (in the best way), and every sentence tries to punch you right in the feels. I'm an Aquarius and Earth Dragon—writer, dreamer, INFJ introvert in survival mode—and I publish under two pen names that reflect the duality of my storytelling soul: Rin Nocturne , where I get unapologetically bold, dramatic, and just a little bit magical. Think Sailor Moon vibes crash-landing into raw emotional landscapes, with a sprinkle of modern fantasy and mythology. Seraphine Vela , the name I use for stories that carry a different kind of weight—more literary, still emotional, but grounded in character and language-driven worlds. Let’s talk shop for a second. What I Write ✍️ I specialize in short fiction —because sometimes you don’t need 100,000 words to wreck someone emotionally (in a good way). Whether it’s a 10-page gut-punch or a novella that mak...

TRAILER LAUNCH: Endsong of Dragons is Almost Here

Readers, stars, and stormchasers… Today, I release the official trailer for Endsong of Dragons , the fourth and final book in my Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart series. It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of—and dreaded—for years. Because this is more than an ending. It’s a reckoning. It’s a goodbye to a girl who became a legend. It’s a love letter to every reader who dared to believe a broken world could still be beautiful. 💔🔥❄ “She didn’t just survive the frost. She became the echo it left behind.” This is Mira Grayson’s final song —a story of power, reflection, and a woman who never asked to be chosen, but chose herself anyway. “I’m not yours,” she whispered to the storm. “I never was.” Thank you to everyone who’s walked this path with me, especially those who’ve carried Mira through every transformation, fracture, and firelight flicker. Your encouragement has meant everything. I wrote this series for the misfits, the quiet ones, the fierce-hearted. I wrote it for you . A...

Catch Up Blog

I need to take a breather and reevaluate my goals as a writer/creator. I have published 27 short stories across both of my pen names Seraphine Vale and Rin Nocturne. That’s a lot. I know my works are shorter, but that’s to be expected since I write how I talk for the most part. This self-publishing journey is nothing new to me. I originally started writing online when I was 16 years old. There was a website called FictionPress.com. It still exists, but it’s nowhere near where it once was, for obvious reasons. I don’t remember how I came across it, though. On that site, people could submit—chapter by chapter—original fiction and you would get reviews from members of the FictionPress. It was a fun way to make friends, share interests and inspiration, and get feedback. I started self-publishing when word about Amanda Hocking’s success caught my eye. I loved the idea of seeing my work on Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s websites without a middleman or the wait and jumped on that imm...
