Ano Koro ni Aitai

For as long as she can remember, Yuzuru has harbored deep romantic feelings for her older brother, Fuyuhisa. Her quiet devotion shapes her daily life until the truth finally surfaces and he learns of her affection. Instead of reciprocating, Fuyuhisa gently but firmly tells her that he cannot return her love. His honest rejection shatters Yuzuru’s world, leaving her emotionally devastated and forcing her to confront a painful reality she never wanted to face. Six months pass in the wake of that heartbreaking confession. Determined to rebuild her life, Yuzuru makes a sincere effort to move forward, hoping to find a new romance that might ease the lingering ache in her chest. She tries to open herself up to different possibilities and redirect her heart toward someone else. Yet, despite her best intentions, moving on proves far more difficult than she anticipated. Every attempt to embrace a fresh start is undermined by the persistent memory of her brother. No matter how hard she struggles to let go, Yuzuru finds herself entirely unable to convince her heart to forget the one person she has loved for as long as she can remember.
