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. ""I can't imagine how wonderful it will be to die..."" Confined to a sickbed by the seaside, a woman waits for death as her husband nurses her.
