Another spectacular collaboration between a literary giant and the illustrator of Touken Ranbu! The Maiden's Bookshelf series continues with this eerie classic from the great Izumi Kyoka.
"But you couldn't have known!"
A mysterious encounter in the surgery room leads down the paths of memory after a young woman refuses anesthetic to protect her secret. . .
At once dreamlike and strikingly modern, Kyoka Izumi's 1895 tale of doomed love has never been more wrenching than it is here, presented alongside Towoji Honojiro's haunting and evocative illustrations.
