Abstract

There are words I desperately want to tell the person I lost.

They say if you cross that bridge on a day with a sunshower,
you can "reunite" with the person you hold dear...

On a small island by Lake Hamana in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, stands a bridge said to grant meetings with deceased loved ones.
"Only during a sunshower does this become the 'Bridge of Reunion.' Please go before the rain stops."
Guided by Jukken, a mysterious man standing at the foot of the bridge, another lost soul visits this place today.
Will their thoughts reach their loved one, and will a miracle occur?

I miss you so much, so much, so much.
I want to see you just once more—the beloved person I can never meet again.
What acts as the "bridge" connecting people for their reunion is...

Heartrending yet warm, four stories of "miracles" that will leave you in unstoppable tears of emotion!
Inujun's full-hearted human fantasy, gazing deeply into "life and death"!
