Number Call

    (Kodansha, 2024)

From the creator of My Summer of You comes a new high school romance about the power of numbers, and how the number 8 draws two young men together. High schooler Eighto Tachibana has always hated his name, including all of the jokes and puns about the number 8 that have come along with it. It’s as if the number has haunted him like a ghost ever since he was a child. One day, he meets a classmate named Tomoya Hatta, aka Hachi-the Japanese word for '8.' What begins as casual greetings and small talk in the hallway soon becomes something much deeper, and Eighto realizes that it’s more than just a similar nickname that draws him to Hachi. Could the number that Eighto resented for so long finally bring him something he'll love—and is that someone Hachi?
