About this listen

Two young lovers…one little secret.

As a Korean student in a Japanese high school, Sugihara has had to defend himself against all kinds of bullies. But nothing could have prepared him for the heartache he feels when he falls hopelessly in love with a Japanese girl named Sakurai. Immersed in their shared love for classical music and foreign movies, the two gradually grow closer and closer.

One night, after being hit by personal tragedy, Sugihara reveals to Sakurai that he is not Japanese - as his name might indicate.

Torn between a chance at self-discovery that he’s ready to seize and the prejudices of others that he can’t control, Sugihara must decide who he wants to be and where he wants to go next. Will Sakurai be able to confront her own bias and accompany him on his journey?

I was throughly engaged in this wonderful little love story and would've given it a 5 stars if the ending wasn't so rushed. Another chapter to close things off properly would have made it perfect. Never the less I recommend this strongly for anyone who loves to read about love.

A lovely story

Debo aclarar de antemano, ¡Amo a este narrador! No diré que escucharé todos los audiolibros que narre, pero si espero seguir disfrutando una gran parte de ellos (especialmente los de literatura asiática, en este caso japonesa).

Llegué a este libro por el narrador, que había escuchado ya en Musashi, y le encantó su estilo de narración y su fluidez en japonés. No conocía al autor de.este libro,.pero también me gustó bastante. Larga vida a la literatura japonesa, tanto clásica como contemporánea.
