High schooler Yoru was sent to a group home at the age of ten after her mother abused her. Tenjaku, a boy the same age, took her under his wing. Now, as teenagers, Yoru and Tenjaku only have a year left before they are legally required to leave the home, and they must pack a lot of growing up into a short period of time. The foremost decision in Yoru's mind: what to do about the feelings for Tenjaku that she's sheltered in her heart during their years together

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was my first time reading this author and I‘m not disappointed. This book is beautifully written and full of emotions. It‘s a story that needs to be told and it‘s written from the point of view of the characters who are going through all the pain and hardships in their lives since they were very very young. A story that sometimes is full of hope and sometimes so heartbreaking.

JudeCC The author manages to keep us interested in what‘s happening to the MC as the world around her changes. That‘s very important because it keeps us invested in the story.

I love the fact that at the end of the book there‘s a list of organizations for us to have a clear understanding of the situation in Japan which is the main theme of the story.

JudeCC I love the illustrations and the way the book is designed.

What kept this book from getting a five star rating for me is the fact that it could benefit from a slower pace for us to grasp when some of the changes occurred. Like for example, when time goes by and they grew up, or when they went into a flashback. Sometimes I got a little lost and had to re-read to make sense of it all.

JudeCC I‘m can‘t wait to read the second part of the story and for it to develop and see where the author takes us. I‘m hoping for a sense of belonging, for some hope and even a love interest somewhere along the way.

If you like reading contemporary stories full of emotions and realistic characters who will make your heart break when they are in need of a hug, then this one is for you.

Grab a copy!!
It‘ll be released on November 12.

This book quote is so true. It‘s a constant battle.

I‘m more than half way through this one and I‘m really enjoying it. Beautifully written and full of emotions.

Who else feels like this?! I do sometimes. This week has been quite difficult with what‘s been going on in the world.

Let‘s do our best to keep it from overflowing.
Sending hugs and light your way. 🫂✨❤️
