A moving and beautiful manga with themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Set in a small seaside town during a sweltering summer, the story follows the lives of three childhood friends, Hikaru, Aki, and Kyosuke. When tragedy strikes and Hikaru dies unexpectedly, Aki and Kyosuke are haunted by grief and memories of their shared past. Navigating feelings of guilt, regret, and longing, they are forced to confront their own weaknesses and the fragility of life. Mokumokuren's evocative artwork and sensitive storytelling create a moving, immersive reading experience that will stay with readers long after they've finished the last page.
