“Hey, Yoshi-kun. I think you’re——” Hearing that voice for the first time stopped me in my tracks. On my way home from school. On the playing field of our junior high, and at the bookshop in front of the station. And then in the empty lot where the white cat slept. Shiina Yuki, the strange girl who somehow knew all about me, always approached me like that. We laughed, cried, got angry, held hands. Again and again, we repeated those disappearing memories and ephemeral promises. That’s why I never knew. I never knew the value of Yuki’s smiles or the meaning of her tears. Nor even the singular sentiment behind her many ‘Nice to meet you’s. This is a captivating, heartrending tale of meetings and partings.
The twisted and deeply disturbing tale of a psychopathic serial killer...

Adapted from Light Novel series by Nomura Mizuki. Meet Kanoha Inoue, winner of a prostegious writing award at the age of 14. Mistakenly branded a "Mysterious Bishoujo Author" and subsequently vowed to never write publicly again. Meet Amano Tooko, self-proclaimed "Bungaku Shoujo". Eats up works of literature, literally. The two of them are the only members of the Literature Club. Each day he writes short stories for her to eat. Until one day Tooko arbitrarily decided to put up a drop box for anyone with a problem... From Baka-Updates: The "mysterious school comedy" centers on the unusual members of a high school literary club. Toko Amano, a high school senior who calls herself the "literary girl" as the club president, is actually a supernatural creature (yokai) that devours stories — she tears pages from books to munch on them. Her club subordinate is Konoha Inoue, a second-year high school boy who writes stories every day for Amano to eat. He once wrote an award-winning novel, but he wrote it under the penname Miu Inoue so readers thought the author was a mysterious 14-year-old bishoujo novelist. The stress from the novel's fame and its movie and television drama plans turned Inoue into an introverted recluse.
