Description
In a quiet seaside town, two teenagers, Koume and Keisuke, are drawn together by loneliness, curiosity, and the desire to escape the limits of their ordinary lives. As their tentative romance unfolds over one transformative summer, attraction gives way to complicated emotions and difficult questions about intimacy, identity, and what it means to want something—or someone—more. Set against the pressure of adolescence and looming academic expectations, this intense coming-of-age story explores the fragile boundary between longing and connection with Inio Asano’s characteristically raw, atmospheric sensibility.
