The Memory Remains [bokuaka]

Keiji Akaashi leads a quiet life among the shelves of a bookstore. On a rainy evening, a stranger, stormy in presence, takes refuge there: Koutarou Bokuto. Their encounter, seemingly ordinary, becomes the beginning of a peculiar ritual, marked by yellow bookmarks slipped into randomly chosen books.

But behind Bokuto's radiant energy lies a truth that even his smiles cannot conceal. As the pages turn, fragility overtakes light, and Akaashi becomes the silent witness to an inevitable fall.

Between bursts of life and heavy silences, this is the story of a book that will never reach its final chapter, leaving its traces only between scraps of yellow paper.
