My favorite light novel of all time. It's not the most epic nor are the characters and plot so original, but there is something about the prose and the setting that completely stole my heart. I can only use the word 'beautiful' to describe this novel. And while it may seem juvenile compared to bloody Game of Thrones or brooding Name of the Wind, sometimes what you want is a breath of fresh air, and a wrenching love story revolving around not too many characters.
