The hotly anticipated sequel to “365 Days of You and Me”!

Author Yui Ha, whose debut work, "365 Days of You and Me," received overwhelming acclaim from Japanese readers and critics, and has emerged as a new genre in the world of emotional romance, has returned to Korean readers with an autumn romance.
After its domestic publication in 2023, "365 Days of You and Me" became a hit on social media thanks to word-of-mouth and explosive responses from readers who read it first.
This sequel, “365 Days You Left Behind,” contains a love story that surpasses its predecessor.

Yugo, a boy who has lived his life perceiving the world only in black and white.
By his side was always his bright and affectionate childhood friend, Kaede.
Kaede, who conveyed the light of the world and the beauty of the seasons in colorful language to Yugo, who could not see colors.
The person who brought laughter to every difficult and lonely moment eventually passed away from illness.
However, Kaede's death does not awaken any sense of sadness in Yugo, as the fact that he is dead remains empty.
The day after the funeral, Yugo is diagnosed with a one-year death sentence for leukemia and receives a list of things he wants to do when he gets better, left behind by Kaede.
From then on, Kaede's past words and messages, small habits and fragments of memories begin to shake Yugo's life day by day and paint it with new colors.

"365 Days You Left Behind" is a story of growth and healing that chronicles a year of a person who lost a loved one.
The process of learning invisible colors with your heart, creating a conversation with a lost being in your mind, and finally finding your own color unfolds calmly and emotionally.
The season of youth was dazzlingly short and painfully beautiful.
This work depicts the weight of loss and the courage to live again, something that anyone who has lost a loved one can sympathize with. Through the narrative of love, friendship, separation, and growth, readers will discover the color called "longing."

It was one rainy autumn night when my childhood friend, Izumi Kaede, died.

The world is made up of colorless things.
Even the flowers, the sky, and the seasons appear gray to my eyes.
But because you were by my side, because you smiled at me as if it were natural, I lived my whole life without knowing how precious you were.
Three hundred and sixty-five days.
All the words you left behind taught me the color of love.

What is this?
The morning sky was always a pale gray.
But the sky that I saw now was completely different.
It was so clear and transparent without a single cloud that it seemed like it would melt away if I reached out.
Is this sky blue?
--- p.26

But now, since I have to end my life anyway, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to achieve something before I die.
Things she wanted to do before I did, not before she died.
There are 365 days left.
I decided to spend the last year I was allowed to live to fulfill Kaede's wish.

Perhaps the sadness will never go away.
Whenever it suddenly comes to mind, my heart aches.
But as time goes by, sadness turns into fond memories.
We know from personal experience that things change for the better as they gradually fade away.

These are the colors of Christmas.
“This green is pretty too.”
"……huh?"
The moment my eyes met with Yazawa's, who was looking back, regret washed over me like a wave.
We're in trouble.
I thought, "Oh no," but it was too late to take back the words I'd already blurted out, and Yazawa looked at me as if asking if I hadn't seen him.
“……Was that a lie?”

“Weight varies depending on the location.
“Even chocolate, which is made up of the same material, weighs differently when measured in space than when measured on Earth due to gravity.”
“So?” “But the mass remains the same.
“Because it is a unique quantity of an object.”
(…)
“I think the feeling of liking someone based on their appearance or abilities is like weight.”
On the contrary, Kaede continued.
“Even without that part, what I like unchangingly is love.
That's mass."

The four-leaf clover never appeared in front of Kaede.
“I can’t find it.”
I said to the sighing Kaede.
“It’s originally very rare.
So, if there are a lot of them in bloom in places like this, that would be even stranger.”
Kaede replied dissatisfiedly.
“If there is a lot, many people will be happy.”
“Since there aren’t many, wouldn’t finding them make you happy?”

245.
Playing tag inside the school building at night
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was that it was ridiculous.
It was so reckless that it was mind-boggling, to the point where I could say it was the worst thing I've ever done.
Of course, that was also typical of Kaede.
--- p.284

I wanted to see you with tears in my eyes.
Until recently, this was a common sight.
It was right next to me.
I realized that the faded memories were not gone, but were just buried deep inside.
Forgetting is not erasing, but burying for a while.
--- p.326

The clumsy feelings that I couldn't give up until the end.
The most beautiful color in the world, Yugo, was your color.
