Book Hero thinking about your next read

After Tooru Naruse confesses his attraction to upperclassman Izumi Wataya, she accepts on the condition he cannot fall in love with her, but when their fake relationship begins, Tooru soon discovers that Izumi cannot forget her love from high school.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Why do you need to forget him? Tooru Naruse's life at university was mundane until he met Izumi Wataya. Having fallen in love at first sight, he confesses his feelings for her, and she agrees to date him on one condition: He must promise never to fall in love with her.

Thus, their pretend relationship begins but Izumi cannot forget about her past love, and the attempt is short-lived. Hoping to learn who that person was and the reason behind her fleeting wistful expressions, Tooru reaches out to Izumi's best friend from high school, Maori Hino. However, maybe some things are best kept secret.

Even If These Tears Disappear Tonight by Winifred Bird and Misaki Ichijo weaves a tale of love that questions the past and the secrets that should remain untold.
