    The best lyrics aren't about rebirth, but they're incredibly captivating. I read them twice and couldn't bear to delete them; they've been sitting on my bookshelf ever since. "The Young Man Who Wears Hairpins," "Cherishing Flowers," and "The Best Lyrics" are all by the same author and are still being serialized. "The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Counterattack" is also excellent; I've read it twice and it's still on my bookshelf.
