What kind of memories will that season leave for each other?
Pieces of memories we encounter as seasons pass by

The sound of cicadas echoing throughout the campsite, the grass sticking out, and the stream water flowing gently.
Lucy and Roman first meet in that place, where summer is in full bloom.
Roman is a regular visitor to this campground every year, an impulsive and adventurous boy who explores this vast area as if it were his own home.
On the other hand, Lucy, who is new to this place, is a quiet girl who cannot get along with children and just wanders around looking for a place to put her mind.
These two children, with such different personalities, places of residence, and languages, become curious about each other for some reason.
The hearts of those who seemed close to each other but couldn't reach each other eventually reach each other and fill the blue summer.


"Mehmet: Where the Seasons Gone" captures a page from my childhood, when everything was fresh and awkward.
The image of two children who cannot communicate with each other and approaching each other through fleeting gestures and hand gestures unfolds far away at the end of the detailed colored pencil lines.
Readers will slowly follow the psychology of children just entering puberty, observing the moments when these two meet, the moments of conflict, and the process of reconciliation.
At the same time, it brings back fragments of memories that everyone has experienced at least once, such as friendships, secrets of one's own, and memories of summer vacation.
Although it was a little painful, it is a work that brings back memories of the season when Roman and Lucy embraced each other warmly and comforted each other with their warmth, and it faintly colors one side of the heart.


How children, each with their own secrets and wounds, heal themselves

Roman, a child who ends up hurting others in order to avoid getting hurt himself.
Lucy, a girl who keeps a secret hidden in her golden wig that she doesn't want anyone to know.
Roman, who knows how to take care of small wild flowers but cannot understand his own heart and walks around roughly with thorns, becomes curious about Lucy.
Lucy, who was wandering around looking for a place to put her heart, carrying around a puppy doll named 'Memet', also develops a strange sense of kinship with Roman and slowly approaches him.
But Roman, who was awkward in relationships, ended up hurting Lucy…

At a moment when everything seems to have gone wrong, Lucy gives Roman the 'Mehmet' she has cherished.
Mehmet, the doll dog that was Lucy's friend, now stands by Roman's side, offering comfort to Lucy.
Roman, who had never been welcomed by anyone, feels a warm affection from Lucy, and Lucy, who unintentionally takes off her wig, is able to face herself with a little more confidence, and they heal each other.
The sound of Roman crying alone in the place where Lucy left can be faintly heard at the end of summer.


"Mehmet: Where the Seasons Gone" is a delicate work that unfolds the process of forming a relationship between two children, each with their own wounds and stories.
A puppy doll named 'Memet' serves as a medium to connect Lucy and Roman's relationship, and also comforts each of them.
Their clumsy but sincere words of comfort, delivered in a way only children can, cheer everyone on as they head into the new season.


A warm resonance unfolding from the end of a distant colored pencil line
2021 Bologna Ragazzi Middle Grade Comics Award Grand Prize

"Memet: Where the Seasons Gone," winner of the 2021 Bologna Ragazzi Middle Grade Comics Award, captivated the judges with its comment, "It's rare to find a book this beautiful, so moving, and so beautifully expressive of childhood memories."
In the picture that unfolds in a blurry pattern, the psychological description of the two children unfolds in detail, and the colored pencil lines that are sometimes soft and sometimes broken and disappear like memories beautifully show the colors of the season.
This work captivates readers with its story packed tightly into each and every cut, and the emotions that spread between the cuts spread over them, leaving a deep resonance.


Collection of reviews from the tentative book review group
'The name that heals Lucy and Roman is Mehmet.
I wondered how many seasons had passed and what kind of memes had been left there. -mini***

May the warmth of summer sunshine, not the coolness of autumn wind, remain in the place where summer has passed.
I hope that only warm memories remain for Roman, whom Lucy has left behind. - Ice**
