Ten Years Without a Name

A Journey to Reclaim a Forgotten Self

On the day of his thirtieth birthday, editor Yuma Takahashi finds an unmarked envelope in his mailbox.

Inside is a letter in the handwriting of Shinohara Yuki—his high school friend who died in a motorcycle accident ten years ago.

But the postmark bears the name of a small coastal town, and the date is now.

Drawn by a mixture of hope and fear, Yuma begins to trace the faint thread between the past and the present, uncovering a truth no one had dared to question:

no one had ever truly confirmed Yuki’s death.

From a shuttered fishing port to an old seaside library, each step brings him closer to the life she chose when disappearing was the only way to survive.

A quiet literary mystery about loss, survival, and the courage to speak your own name again—

for anyone who has ever felt the weight of being unseen.
