"You told me before that you'd never regret meeting me. Do you still feel that way now?"
Eighteen-year-old Sakura has spent her high school years living in self-imposed isolation. She's carefully perfected her role as a cold, stuck up snob at school to keep her classmates, her teacher, the world at a distance so they will never learn the truth: about the night her father's mental illness tore her world apart, leaving her an orphan and living on borrowed time.
To help her get through the pain, the kind man who adopted her would spin fantastical stories about his childhood friend Kazuki, a magical yokai from another world. Harmless fairy tales to take her mind off things, or so she always thought...
Until the night she finds Kazuki lying wounded in her garden. With the handsome yokai now sharing her house, a jealous young tengu living in her cherry tree, and new friends pushing their way past her walls, Sakura's stoic acceptance of her fate is slipping.
But with the end of her life rapidly approaching, is she only setting herself up for heartache and regret?

Review:
"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
