I Am Blue, in Pain, and Fragile (Light Novel)

This heart-wrenching tale of two university students forced to choose between their ideals and the demands of the real world--from Yoru Sumino, the author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and the Eisner-nominated I Had That Same Dream Again--was adapted into a live-action film in Japan. Two young people in their first year of university, drawn to each other's passion, establish a secret society to pursue those ideals. But as time passes, the demands of a world that isn't kind to dreamers threaten to force them apart, filling the void between them with shattered hopes and the fallout of lies. A tender, tragic tale about the cruelty of youth, by acclaimed author Yoru Sumino.
