My First Kiss Is with You

Aoi, a high school third-year student, returns to her hometown for the Hatsub­on (first Obon festival after a death) in the countryside. Waiting for her there is her older cousin Iduru, two years her senior. Iduru is earnest but a bit scatterbrained, and being close in age, we were always together during the summer. This is a story of a bittersweet long-distance romance lasting one summer. I will inherit your will... A work provided for the Obon Anthology (published July 2022). Public display has ended.
