Into the book
Even when the two of them were alone, Grandma Tsuda didn't smile.
I just stared into Akari's eyes in the sunlight streaming in through the blinds.
When Akari lowered her head as if to escape from that gaze, the grandmother suddenly spoke.
“Can you see it at night too?”
Akari raised her head in surprise.
Their eyes met again.
Grandma stared blankly into Akari's wide-open eyes.
'How do you know about my eyes?'
Akari was confused.
Clearly, Akari can be seen at night.
I can see ahead even in the dark.
Akari's eyes glowed blue in the dark, and when she was young, her friends would often tease her for looking like a cat.
--- p.29
“Wouldn’t it be safer to go through the door?”
Mizuki said.
But Akari insisted on going to the balcony.
“I’ll show you.
“All you have to do is jump over it.”
The smell of popcorn wafted from Akari.
The smell of popcorn is the smell of a proud person.
We went to the same orphanage when we were in elementary school.
The boy always smelled strongly of popcorn.
“Stop it.
“It’s dangerous.”
Akari ignored Mizuki's words and went out to the balcony, climbing lightly onto the railing.
At the end of the protruding balcony
He grabbed the support supporting the sunshade and for some reason turned his body towards Mizuki.
It was when Akari smiled with a relaxed expression and waved her hand.
Squeak?
There was an unpleasant noise and the support tilted.
“Ah!”
Mizuki shouted and urgently reached out his hand towards Akari.
Akari, who had lost her balance, grabbed Mizuki's hand with one hand.
Squeak?
The support has tilted again.
The part that connected to the awning fell off.
Creak?
Akari's body suddenly snapped backwards and fell downwards.
And the two fell apart.
Into the pitch black darkness.
--- p.66
The wind blowing from the mountain shook the cherry tree branches.
A strangely nostalgic smell enveloped Mizuki warmly.
A passing breeze
Mizuki said inside.
“Maybe someone called you here.
“Perhaps this timeless place has called us tonight.”
--- p.81
Akari, who was walking towards the bookshelf and staring at the pictures as if she was about to pierce them, muttered to herself as if she was slightly shocked.
Always draw the corners of your lips
It was as if I was seeing another personality hidden inside the grandmother who was laughing and rustling.
“The photo is really cruel.”
Mizuki, who was looking at the photo behind Akari, whispered.
“It seems to say that time cannot be turned back.”
The photo in the frame was still clear, unlike the newspaper on the table.
As I looked at the newspaper and photos again and again, the contrast between the present and the past became more apparent.
It was brutally clear.
--- p.119
Mizuki kept her mouth shut.
After walking in the darkness for a while, I asked Akari.
“What would you do?”
“Huh? Me?”
Akari paused at the unexpected question.
Mizuki continued.
“I don’t know because I don’t have anyone that precious to me.
But I think you would understand that feeling….
If it is very precious
"What if you broke up with someone after an argument? What if that argument resulted in their death? What would you do? If you could see that person again, would you go back?"
Akari took a deep breath.
As the meaning of Mizuki's words became clearer, a heavy burden fell on my heart.
Akari spoke slowly to Mizuki, who was staring blankly at her.
“If it were me… I would go see you.
I'm going to go say sorry to someone special.
'Actually, I trust you,' he said, 'I love you.'
I'm going to go do it.
I'll go even if it shortens my life.
“I will definitely do that.”
Mizuki nodded, dropping her gaze from Akari.
I just stared into Akari's eyes in the sunlight streaming in through the blinds.
When Akari lowered her head as if to escape from that gaze, the grandmother suddenly spoke.
“Can you see it at night too?”

Publisher's Review
#1 children's bestseller! Recommended for every grade level: "My Suspicious Neighbor Shinoda," authored by
Yoko Tomiyasu's first young adult novel is published!
Yoko Tomiyasu, who has won numerous literary awards in Japan, including the Kodansha Picture Book Award, the Noma Children's Literature Award, and the Sankei Children's Publishing Culture Award, is also a writer who has received much love in Korea for the "My Suspicious Neighbor Shinoda" series.
Riding on this popularity, we are now publishing Korea's first youth novel, "Two Moons."
In this book, the author's signature beautiful sentences and interesting narrative unfold in a deeper and more fantastical way.
The immersive experience that you can't stop once you start reading and the touching resonance of Yoko Tomiyasu are still there.
The moment you turn the first page, you'll understand why this author's work has been so beloved for so long.
A touching young adult novel that connects forgotten memories and the feelings that remain.
“If you broke up with someone very precious to you after an argument, and that argument caused that person to die, do you think you would go see that person even if you couldn’t bring them back, even if you couldn’t bring them back?”
People say that everything will be okay with time.
But some feelings don't go away with time.
The feelings that cannot be expressed remain in the heart, and one day they will quietly knock on the door.
This story is a record of a summer that was reopened to convey that feeling.
In midsummer, Mizuki and Akari arrive at an old villa.
It was a place built on top of a submerged village, a place of forgotten faith and someone's heart sleeping.
The owner of the villa was a lonely old woman who always had a forced smile.
The longing to convey even a single word of sincerity to her missing grandson, and that long wait, ultimately brought the two children here.
And finally, on the night when two moons rise, can unspoken feelings reach across time?
A book that I was drawn into by its mysterious setting.
But as you turn each page, you will be left with a warm feeling and a deep resonance, making this an emotional mystery!
The story begins with the search for a 'special child'.
First, the child must have been born in April 14 years ago.
Second, there must be no blood relatives, including parents, or their whereabouts must be unknown.
Third, the place of birth and circumstances at the time will be unclear.
Fourth, there must be a clue related to birth, and that clue must be connected to the 'moon' in some way.
A wealthy grandmother living alone in a secluded villa adopts two special children who fit this criteria.
And when two children with mystical powers meet, the legend of an old village sleeping beneath the lake awakens.
The mysterious premise of conditional adoption initially raises questions and tension, but as the story unfolds, readers are soon reminded of the preciousness of time spent with loved ones.
At the end of the story, a warm feeling that lingers deep in the heart will be conveyed.
#Editor's Note
Do you have someone special right now?
Do you really value the time you spend with that person?
We say that people who make us laugh and be happy, like family and friends, are 'precious'.
But the time we spend with them is so familiar and taken for granted that we sometimes forget to be grateful or precious.
In fact, each day is a unique time that cannot come back.
The grandmother in “Two Moons” is also a person who has forgotten that “natural” time.
In order to keep her promise to her daughter, she had to part ways with her grandson, whom she treasured more than anyone else, after a minor argument.
Little did I know that that moment would be the last, that I would never see your face again.
From that day on, the grandmother lived her life blaming herself.
Because the last time I saw my grandson's face and the last words he said to me never left my heart.
All I wanted was to turn back the irreversible time.
Will Grandma's wish come true?
I hope that everyone who reads this book will look back on the precious time they spent with their loved ones.
So that even if that time is the last, I can say goodbye with a smile and no regrets.
