Summary - English

The story covers 13 years and begins with a 19-year-old college student named Hana who encounters and falls in “fairy tale-like” love with a “wolf man.” After marrying the wolf man, Hana gives birth and raises two wolf children—an older sister named Yuki who was born on a snowy day, and a younger brother named Ame who was born on a rainy day. The four quietly lived in a corner of a city to conceal the existence of the “wolf children,” but when the wolf man suddenly dies, Hana decides to move to a rural town far removed from the city

Content warnings if known

Death, sacrifice, I think it is quite heavy hearted and may be depressing or triggering for some people.

Why are you nominating this book: I’ve found 乙一’s writing to be relatively straight forward most of the time, simple to read and easy to understand. Hoping this is of a similar vein. It’s a collection of short stories which I find I enjoy more and it also has supernatural aspects to each story which can be interesting.
