Synopsis:

The novel version of the acclaimed anime film about surfing, summer love, grief, and a hint of magic.

Carefree Hinako moves to a small seaside town to surf. When her new apartment catches fire, she's rescued by Minato, a gentle firefighter with a heart of gold. The two soon begin surfing together, and before they know it, they're falling in love. But their young romance comes to an abrupt halt when tragedy strikes. Now Hinako is determined to rescue Minato, just like he once saved her. A moving tale of love and yearning based on the award-winning anime.
