YOU ARE MY REGRET PROSE NOVEL TP (2025)

Yuzuru Amida is filled with regret. Although he fell in love with free-spirited Ai Mizuno in middle school, he never managed to tell her how he felt and subsequently drifted apart from her. But when Yuzuru reunites with Ai by chance in the summer of his first year of high school, he realizes that his feelings for her haven't changed in the slightest. As this pair of total opposites gets reacquainted, however, they sometimes butt heads and find themselves at odds with each other. When all is said and done, will they end up as friends...or something more?

Yuzuru has begun to mend things with his ex-girlfriend Ai, finally overcoming his long-held regret. But his relief proves short-lived when fellow literature club member Kaoru stops coming to school. Yuzuru, who cares for her and knows something about her situation, tries his best to help, but she refuses him at every turn. As loneliness and a new regret take root in Kaoru's heart, how will her relationship with Yuzuru change?

Yuzuru is enjoying summer vacation with Ai and Kaoru, when Sousuke invites them all to join a band for the culture festival. Despite having no experience, Yuzuru winds up playing drums. He's hesitant at first, but it seems Sousuke is up to more than just making memories-he wants to convince Risa to pay bass, an offer which she curtly refuses. Risa's past, Sousuke's feelings, and everyone's musical challenges weave a complicated melody as yet another regret comes to light. Is it possible to communicate with someone who refuses to engage?

When Ai's elder sister Kozue shows up and demands that she return to live with her mother, Ai feels she has no choice but to run. Ai just wants to be free, but as her family troubles continue, her world only becomes more suffocating. Unable to ignore her pain, Yuzuru resolves to help her find the right decision—one she won't regret. He approaches Kaoru, too, but is she willing to put aside her own feelings to assist her romantic rival?
