A more intimate and romantic entry in the Maiden's Bookshelf series, this tale of doomed romance brings together the so-called "God of Literature" with the gorgeous artwork of Atsuki Ito, author of A Love-Letter in 26 Characters. "Now I can die happy..." A loving husband nurses his ailing wife in a house by the sea. An exploration of love in the face of terminal illness.
