Kimi ga ita Natsu [The Summer you were there]
君がいた夏
serialized on Wings,
1 volume @ Y660
[ 01:9403]

This is a collection of 3 short stories, two of which have related characters. This book has some of Katayama's best art and layout. 1) Kimi ga Ita Natsu (90p)
This is a quiet, timeless story about two boys who spent the summer together when they were kids. They meet again as teens. Not long after becoming reunited, Yuki collapses and Sota finally discovers that Yuki has a weak heart. They try to make the best of the summer and Yuki eventually dies. Though fairly sad and simple, it's one of her best works, I think. {PED}

2) Toukyou Romanzaiku (34p)
It's about a poor writer in the '20's or so and his encounter with a beautiful woman. Unbeknownst to him, the spirit of her dead lover is camped inside his head! {PED}

3) Bisau no Lamp (44p)
Bisau no Lamp is a story about the above writer's friend. It's an ethereal little supernatural piece about his encounter with a sick boy who's really a water spirit. {PED}
