Elle asked Anna Frost:

First of all, I love your books and can't wait for more (2016...why are all the books I want so far in the future?). I have to know. In the Kitsune trilogy I caught two sets of references to anime, Hikaru and Kaoru, and Usagi and Mamoru (that one took me until the third book after reading the first two twice; in my defense I still think of them as Serena and Darien). Are there anymore?

Anna Frost Thank you! I hope it'll be worth the wait, but in the meantime I hope to release a little something in 2015. Perhaps that "How Aki and Jien met" short story that's been languishing in my files? I keep saying I'll work on it.

Good catch for the references. I'm not aware of any other direct references, but I wouldn't be surprised if my subconscious had managed to sneak another one in. That said, Hachiro from book #3 does take a little after Alex Louis Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. He's another of my favourite characters. :)
