The latest book from one of the comics world's most respected artists. Directly inspired by Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, Inio Asano spins a tight 18-and-up yarn about teen agnst, rural boredom, and one-sided romance set in a modern-day Japanese seaside village, where everyone knows about everyone else's personal lives... Or so they thought.

Longing for Something Bigger

From the Eisner Award-nominated Inio Asano, creator of Solanin and Nijigahara Holograph, comes one of his most challenging works yet—an intense teen romance set in what may at first glance be one of the sleepiest places in Japan.

When Koume and Keisuke’s relationship begins to take shape, it is apparent that they are both searching for something. Maybe Keisuke wants something more than a kiss from the fair Koume. Maybe Koume is looking for someone better than Misaki, the local playboy. But what they find in each other over the course of a summer might be far greater than anything they were expecting.

Their lives are going to change. And this will all transpire before high school exams!

Praise for A Girl on the Shore Collector's Edition

"Inio Asano has become one of the voices of his generation. His work--stories of youth that would be too alien or embarrassing for full-fledged adults--has found a home in the hearts of disaffected teens and twenty-somethings." - The Daily Yomiuri
