I picked up 'For the One Who Loves Moon and the Stars!' on a whim last year, and it totally swept me off my feet. The writing style is so poetic and dreamy—it’s like the author poured their soul into every page. After finishing it, I went down a rabbit hole to find out who wrote it. Turns out, it’s by Yoru Sumino! She’s also the genius behind 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas,' which explains why the emotional depth in this one hit so hard. Sumino has this knack for blending melancholy with warmth, and her characters feel achingly real.
What’s cool is how she explores loneliness and connection in such a subtle way. The protagonist’s obsession with the night sky mirrors Sumino’s own lyrical touch—like she’s painting with words. If you haven’t read her other works, they’re worth checking out too. 'At Night, I Become a Monster' has a similar vibe, though darker. Honestly, discovering her felt like finding a hidden gem in a used bookstore.
