"Uka is counting down the hours, waiting for the day he becomes a butterfly. Although he has been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, Uka doesn't believe that this is the end. He knows a day will come when he will be free to flutter and fly as a butterfly. Watching silently from the shadows is the mysterious Mikami. Mikami 'senses' that Uka is nearing his end. He knows that falling in love with a boy who is about to pass away is hopeless but he cannot help himself. Will Mikami's love be strong enough to keep Uka's butterfly wings grounded? This collection of bittersweet tales from Sumomo Yumeka also includes stories about a blue cat, a Tokyo alien and your very own planet"--Page [4] of cover.
