The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida

When college student Miwako Sumida hangs herself, it affects three people. Ryusei Yanagi, another student, met Miwako at a group date, and fell in love with her eight months before her death. Secretive and stubborn, Miwako did not return his love. Her best friend, Chie Ohno, thought she knew more about Miwako because she went with her for an abortion. But Chie’s version is not complete. Ryu and Chie make a pilgrimage to the village where Miwako died, but they don’t find the answers they’re seeking. Ryu’s older sister, Fumi, discovers the truth. Born a boy, Fumi always wanted to be a girl. When their parents were killed in a car accident, she took care of Ryu, first in the orphanage, and then in an apartment, even when he went to college. Fumi can see ghosts, so when Miwako’s ghost appears to Fumi in another form, she reveals her tragic story.
