Riassunto

Party? Cake? Friends?  No, for Sakura Takeshi, her eighteenth birthday was spent meticulously preparing for her coming death.  But all of her planning didn’t include meeting the star of her late guardian’s fairytales in her garden one night.

Now she has a handsome yokai now sharing her house and her bed, a jealous young tengu living in her cherry tree, a cheerful classmate determined to push past her walls to be her first friend, and a heart in danger of being stolen.

Sakura’s stoic acceptance of her fate is slipping, but with the end of her life rapidly approaching, is there any point in learning to live again?

Aisuru is a young adult love story with a charming prince of hero, a sweetly conflicted heroine, a sprinkling of fantasy, a healthy dose of Japanese cultural details, a dash of family drama, and a little spice to warm the heart.

Recensione:

"The writing was beautiful and gave you the impression you were listening to a faerie tale! This was definitely a unique and heart felt romance story that every manga/YA reader should try!" - Kariny's Teen Boox Frenzy "Ultimately, Aisuru is a gorgeous story with an equally gorgeous cover. Without a doubt, I can picture this novel as a animated movie [or Anime in Japan]. The Characters were wonderful, the plot was wonderful, and the setting was wonderful - my biggest problem was that it came to an end." - Around the World in Books "This is my first Japanese-themed novel and I loved it soooo muchooo!...What I loved most is that how the author provided info about the Japanese culture and tradition. The setting of the story was likewise written well. I highly recommend this to readers who are into Japan-themed novels." - Bookingly Yours "Aisuru is a beautiful book, both in terms of the storyline and its appearance. Author Anma Natsu depicts both the culture and the environment of Japan in such realistic detail that you'll feel that you're actually there. Her skills at developing characters, especially characters that a young adult reader will be able to connect with, are extremely strong. And the romance aspect of Aisuru is emotional, heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. Any young adult reader who likes romantic adventures would love this book." - Tracy A. Fischer for Readers' Favorite "Probably one of the best novels I've read of any genre, I really couldn't put it down and thought about it for days after. I can't think of a novel that made me cry as much but Aisuru isn't as simple as that. Sakura was so full of love and hope." - NerdGirlSara for NerdGirl
