sunny boy books

At the edge of dawn, Mizuno Kuusuke stands on the banks of a river, ready to surrender to its cold embrace. Haunted by failure and the weight of expectations, he believes he has nothing left to live for—until a mysterious girl calls his name. Yorukawa Yukari, the enigmatic "Witch of the River," who saves him with sharp words and an offer he cannot ignore: to rediscover the beauty of life before it''''s too late. As Kuusuke embarks on a journey of self-renewal, guided by Yukari’s light, they weave moments of joy and quiet wonder through a lens of photography and fading time. But Yukari harbors a heartbreaking secret—one that will force them to confront love, loss, and the preciousness of every fleeting second. With each sunrise, their bond deepens, and time ticks down. Kuusuke must decide: can he embrace a love destined to slip away like water through his fingers, or will he find a way to make it eternal? A short and tender tale of second chances, ephemeral beauty, and a love that transcends the limits of time. Cover art by Cola via Pixiv: https:///en/artworks/51678256.
