ฤดูร้อน ดอกไม้ไฟ และร่างไร้วิญญาณของฉัน by Otsuichi
3.0
The Lovely Bones esque short story aimed at a younger generation.
Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse is told from the point-of-view of Satsuki, a young girl who is full of life and looking forward to the summer, the fireworks, and the joy they bring. However, there is a foreboding shadow hanging over the children this summer due to the recent fifth kidnapping of a child within the nearby towns. Satsuki isn't too fazed by this, and whilst playing in the nearby forest, she climbs into a tree with her best friend Yayoi. After confessing her fondness of Yayoi's brother Ken (who Yayoi is secretly in love with), and seeing Ken waving at her close by, Satsuki feels a hard push and falls to her death. The story doesn't end there. Satsuki continues to tell the story from her perspective, only, now, Satsuki's spirit hears and sees all around her corpse.
Will Yayoi confess to her crime? Will Satsuki forgive her best friend of her terrible sin? Will Ken help his sister?
