下弦の月 [Kagen no Tsuki]

A haunting three-issue romance from Shueisha, Kagen no Tsuki (1998–1999) follows a young woman whose ordinary life is upended by a ghostly encounter and a mysterious, moonlit connection to a past tragedy. Written and illustrated by Ai Yazawa, this compact series weaves themes of love, loss, and the supernatural into a poignant, atmospheric story that showcases Yazawa’s signature emotional depth and stylish character design. Though brief, it remains a memorable, bittersweet gem from the late-'90s shojo era.
