Kimi no Suizō o Tabetai author's 2016 novel centers on elementary school girl meeting 3 women

Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz announced last week that it has licensed Yoru Sumino's Mata, Onaji Yume o Miteita novel. The company will release the novel under the title Dan... Mimpi Sama Berulang Kembali.

The novel centers on grade schooler Nanoka Koyanagi, who meets a short-tailed cat and three different women as she is out taking a walk. The first woman is Minami, a high schooler whom Nanoka sees has many wounds on her wrist. The second woman is another high schooler, constantly called a "whore" by her classmates. The third woman is an old lady, trying to live out her twilight years in peace.

Futabasha published the novel in February 2016. Idumi Kirihara launched a manga adaptation of the novel in Futabasha's Monthly Action magazine last September. Kirihara also drew a manga of Sumino's Kimi no Suizō o Tabetai novel in the same magazine from August 2016 to May 2017.

Sumino's Kimi no Suizō o Tabetai novel inspired a live-action film that premiered in Japan last July, and opened in Malaysia last November. The novel is inspiring an anime film this fall.
