Maybe Keisuke wants something more than a kiss from the fair Koume. Maybe Koume is looking for someone better than Misaki, the local playboy. But what they find in each other over the course of a summer might be far greater than anything they were expecting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir lives are going to change. And this will all transpire before high school exams!\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInio Asano (born 1980) is considered by many to be one of the biggest new names in manga of the '00's. Debuting in 1998 Asano was immediately thrust into the manga spotlight by earning praise from luminaries such as Naoki Yamamoto and Shin Takahashi. His ascent to stardom was very quick, and regretfully, the young man went into a bit of a slump soon after. But after four years of struggle and soul-searching as an assistant to some of Japan's most artistically respected comic artists, Asano came back to become the voice of the modern Japanese adolescents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis breakthrough work \u003ci\u003eSOLANIN\u003c\/i\u003e captivated the globe earning him recognition in Japan and an Eisner Award nomination in North America. \u003ci\u003eSOLANIN\u003c\/i\u003e was later adapted into a cultish motion picture further cementing Asano's place amongst outsiders globally. Since 2002 Asano has penned 10 graphic novel series, dozens of short stories, and is now making in-roads as one of Japan's more popular graphic designers. In 2014 his most recent English language release \u003ci\u003eNishigahara Holograph\u003c\/i\u003e was selected as one of the best graphic novels of the year by Publishers Weekly, Comics Alliance, Comics Resources, and Good OK Bad.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 410\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 7.6 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 19, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45584197910572,"sku":"9781941220856","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/bQynbMECbT9781941220856.webp?v=1780210218","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/a-girl-on-the-shore-paperback","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
