365 DAYS WITH YOU : UNTIL THE LAST DAY (volume one): The Beginning

By mpxdVOID and mpxdVOID .

"Some days seem entirely ordinary, right up until the moment you realize you want to remember them forever."

Haruto is perfectly content being invisible. Navigating his final year at Aobane High, he prefers to view the world through his camera lens-a quiet observer capturing life from a safe distance, away from the noise and pressure of what comes next.

Then comes Aoi.

Bright, persistent, and entirely impossible to ignore, Aoi pulls Haruto out of the background and into the vivid center of their high school's final autumn. Tasked with co-managing Class 3-B's Memory Café and photography display for the annual school festival, the two spend their afternoons building wooden stalls, writing handwritten captions, and sharing quiet moments over warm cans of tea.

Through Haruto's lens, an ordinary classroom transforms into a living archive of youth, laughter, and unspoken feelings. But as the festival lights dim and the countdown to graduation begins, Haruto must confront the one thing no camera can capture: the relentless flow of time, and a quiet realization that some moments are too precious to ever let go.

Under the Lights is a tender, atmospheric coming-of-age slice-of-life novel about the beauty of fleeting days, the warmth of unexpected connection, and the ordinary afternoons that become unforgettable memories.

Perfect for fans of clean YA romance, Japanese high school slice-of-life fiction, and bittersweet coming-of-age stories.
