Since its publication, it has been reprinted many times. It has received a huge response, with many moving comments and tearful comments!
The most beautiful story of love and destiny in the Reiwa era.

It was wonderful. It's been a while since I've experienced the pure pleasure of being engrossed in a story.
My heart, which had been dragged around so much, continued to ache even after I closed the book - the preciousness of that dazzling pain. (Yuka Murayama)

The image of the two of them embracing each other and their sincerity on the back of my eyelids is burned into my heart and will never go away. (Ei Toshimori)

--I only met her a few times, but she was my whole life.--
I met her in a corner of an old housing complex. She and I were completely different. The clothes we wore, the food we ate, the world we lived in.
But for some reason, when she laughed, I smiled too, and when she cried, I felt sad too.
From the day I was attracted to her, I didn't mind the cruel reality. I knew we couldn't be together forever, but I prayed that our moment of happiness would last forever.
Why is it that she is the only one that won't do? Why am I not happy unless I'm with her...?

--The one and only destiny that brought the two of them together
A heartbreaking yet beautiful story spanning a quarter century...
