An early story collection by Ruka Inui. Its stories circle memory, loss, and childhood wounds, unfolding with shadows that contrast with the brightness of the title.

Behind the bright light lies the shadow of memory that will not disappear.

An award-winning debut story that links the motion of soccer with the tension of human relationships. No standalone book publication was confirmed, so it appears to remain a magazine-published starting point for the author.

Beyond the body chasing the ball, a young writer’s momentum comes into view.
