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

Abandon the pursuit of ordinary happiness! One young man's barren college life changes forever when he shares a budding romance with a girl named Mizuo... only for it to all come crashing down when she has the gall to dump him!

With the spectre of a solitary Christmas Eve looming, he tears through the streets of Kyoto with just his powerful (some might say delusional) imagination to protect him from the cruel world at large. A Japanese fantasy novel for every man who's been let down by love and those still bracing for it!

Tower of the Sun by Tomihiko Morimi, translated by Stephen Kohler, is the perfect read for anyone navigating the complexities of love and loss.
