Akiyama Haru, who gained a core following with her debut work "Suzume Suzunari," tackles the theme of "love" with a perspective and sensibility unique to female authors. This highly talked-about work intricately weaves the wavering and creaking emotions and sexuality through delicate descriptions. Holding their breath, entwining their bodies, and then, for a long time──they have been in love. While yearning for each other, forgiving each other, sometimes missing each other, and watching the passing seasons, the final chapter arrives in the love story of Miyashita Yukino and Iwai Setsuko. From their days as a pair, they trust in the "heart" that lies ahead on the unseen path──and pause in the warm sunlight.
