I Am Blue, in Pain, and Fragile (Light Novel)

This heart-wrenching drama about two university students and their growing disillusionment–from Yoru Sumino, the author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and the Eisner-nominated I Had That Same Dream Again–was adapted into a live-action film that’s now on Netflix (Blue, Painful, Fragile).

Two young people in their first year of university, drawn to each other’s passion, establish a secret society to pursue those ideals. But as time passes, the demands of a world that isn’t kind to dreamers threatens to force them apart, filling the space between them with shattered hopes and the fallout of lies. A tender, tragic tale about growing past pain and the cruelty of youth, by acclaimed author Yoru Sumino.
