Book Review of 'Voices in the Sea Foam' , by Kotaro Thank you to the author Kotaro, Kondansha Comics and Netgalley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. What if the Little Mermaid were reincarnated as a boy in the present day, and upon falling in love with another boy, suffered the curse weighing on his soul ? Unable to speak or communicate properly when that special boy is around, feeling his feet burning with immesurable pain as he walks, as if stepping on a thousand sharp knives. This is the premise and the story of the main character, Aito , and how he falls for Tory - the new boy at his high school. Toru practically begs Aito to work with him in a school project. He needs Aito to record a song for. What prompts Toru to do this is the video that pops up in his cellphone - he falls in love with Aito's voice instantly.  I absolutely loved everything in this book and how beautifully crafted is. It hooked me from start to finish. What I didn't like was th...

Both heart and feelings , emotions , are captured so well in this book.  In this book, we...
