Kimi wa Tsukiyo ni Hikarikagayaku

Ever since losing someone dear to me, I had been living without direction or purpose. When I entered high school, I found that in my class there was a girl still confined to the hospital, suffering from a condition known as "Luminescence Disease." The illness takes its name from the fact that those afflicted emit a faint glow when bathed in moonlight—and that radiance grows ever brighter as their final moments approach. Her name was Watarase Mamizu. Once I learned that her time was short and that she had a list of things she wished to accomplish before the end, I found myself asking, "Will you let me help you with that?" Her reply was simply, "Really?" And with that promise, the frozen hours of my life finally began to move once more. Grand Prize winner of the 23rd Dengeki Novel Prize.
