The Sea, Then The Sun

Toyo, a girl with no place to belong—neither home nor school—and Hajime, a classmate she meets by the sea. Both are bound by a shared pain. And so, the two begin to connect.
This is a poignant tale of loneliness and rebirth, told through the eyes of a boy and girl adrift in the world.
With striking, expressive illustrations, the up-and-coming Nao Takami captures the raw, emotional inner lives of fragile youths.
