An anime-inspired novella (particularly Your Name) was not on my Cosmere bingo list but Brandon Sanderson manages to pull it off.
Beautifully illustrated, both Yumi and Painter's worlds have such a strong and distinct sense of place that it makes the final twist even more jarring .
Ol mate Hoid is the narrator and so would not recommend this to first-time Cosmere readers (lots of reference to Stormlight Archive and Mistborn, and just general Hoid-ness that can be off-putting and sometimes just plain irritating if you don't know who/what he is).
