LAST JUNE

June was supposed to be just another summer.

When Haru returns to a quiet coastal town in Japan for the holidays, he expects long empty days, unbearable heat, and nothing worth remembering.

Then he sees Aoi again.

She's quieter than he remembers. Harder to understand. And somehow, impossible to stay away from.

What begins with casual meetings slowly turns into something deeper - shared silences at sunset, walks through sleepy summer streets, late afternoons in bookstores, and feelings neither of them fully know how to say out loud.

But some stories are only meant to exist for a season.

As June slips away, distance begins to grow between them, and Haru realizes too late that love isn't always lost in dramatic moments. Sometimes, it disappears quietly - in unanswered questions, missed timing, and words left unsaid.

Tender, atmospheric, and emotionally unforgettable, Last June is a coming-of-age romance about first love, regret, and the memories that stay long after people leave.

Perfect for readers who love:
• bittersweet summer romances
• emotional slow-burn relationships
• Japanese small-town settings
• nostalgic coming-of-age stories
• quiet literary romance with deep emotional impact
