“That summer is one I’ll never forget.” Maidens living in despair and their tale of sweet death and rebirth. A deserted station platform. Sugar plums. A sunflower field. And an abandoned train car. These four things pull me back to my memory of a mysterious girl. Ligaya. Thinking about it now… It was from then on that my summer truly began. The local train line where she was supposed to commit suicide was decomissioned, rendering the life-insurance suicide plan of Misachi Ariga (a middle school second-year student with irregular periods and a taste disorder) futile. While at a loss on what to do, she meets an older girl whose name means “Happiness” in Tagalog. A girl named Ligaya. “I’m going to revive this fella as the Ghost Train!” The enigmatic girl vowed to revive the abandoned train and grant “Death” to the suicidal Misachi. The unforgettable summer of Misachi and Ligaya begins. (Source: Seikasha, translated)
