Seiji and Aoi have been inseparable childhood friends and eventually, high school sweethearts. Believing in naive dreams and love, all seems well until a tragedy separates them with a chasm of frozen time. As one struggles with the aftermath, the world moves on, while the other remains still.
Battered by temptation and the pressure to grow up, he discovers that life is more complicated than he thought - and that the heart and mind is quite vulnerable to change. Secondhand Memories is an emotional young adult coming-of-age story: a journey about the meaning of growing up, love, loss and sacrifice.

Life Afterlife: The Sequel
"Death is death and there's not much we can do about it. But what comes after is in our hands." The sequel to In Another Life by LittleLuxray that nobody asked for-but which I simply had to write for myself. ~ In Cloud Atlas, Robert Frobisher writes in a letter to Sixsmith that "a half-finished book is, after all, a half-finished love affair." This story is my attempt to finish what was written by a different author five years ago. Bokuto is my favourite character in Haikyuu; Akaashi is his favourite person. Reading In Another Life a week ago, I felt empty. After rewatching Cloud Atlas I realised why that was. The story needs to end. And death is not an end, but a door. There are too many stories about the ones who leave. This is for the ones left behind, the ones who stay. For Akaashi.

He never believed nor fell in love, Until he met Nijino Yume. To be honest, Kira Kanata was tired of short, sexual relationships. But he just couldn't quit the habit. Or that was how he thought. That all changed, when he found Saotome Ako Kasumi Asahi just wanted to fall in love, but somehow his sisters stopped him from seeing the girl he liked. Will he be able to tell her how he feels without his overprotective sisters knowing? "Love? Nah! I'm just a shipper, and nothing more than that." Igarashi Nozomu had always liked teasing his best friends, especially when it came to their crushes. Subaru and Kanata claimed he would never understand, because he would not fall in love. Not at sixteen, at least. But would he, after meeting Aria? Perhaps this story is going to be only a simple, cliche filled love story. Well, not quite...
